No qualifying billfish — billfish money rolls to Day 2

One billfish did come to the scale on October 14 but did not qualify, according to Chacón’s reporting: a 246-pound blue marlin caught by Team Margarita Garden Grill, with angler Mark Bedford and Captain Jesus.

At 246 pounds, the fish was below the tournament’s 300-pound marlin minimum. Because no qualifying billfish came to the scale, Chacón reported that the day’s billfish prize money will roll over to the second day of fishing on October 15. With the roll-over, the team that brings the biggest marlin to the scale on Day 2 will be fishing for a larger purse. No roll-over amount is included in this report.
