Pirates' Cove Tourny ends on record note

The Sea Hag remained the top dog at the end of the Pirate's Cove annual billfish tournament. With 1217 + points, the boat stayed at the dock the last day, but still remained the leader at the end of the day. Record numbers of fish were hooked and released at this year's tourny due to the combination of the light northeast wind and the filling moon, which brings in the marlin to feed. Well over 500 billfish were hooked and released resulting in also a record single prize purse at Pirate's Cove. The Sea Hag team took top honors in six of eight catagories which netted them over half a million dollars in prize money. Also according to the Bacardi rep a record $20000 in rum was consumed at the bar! A good time was had by all!
The Sea Hag is a 61' Blackwell locally built Carolina sportfisher boat.
