The Bermuda Billfish Blast recently kicked off with 35 boats and over 200 crew from around the world who are all “competing for over $300,000 in cash plus prizes.”
The event is billed as “an angler’s dream, the pursuit of world record size blue and white marlin draw some of the finest sport-fishing vessels in the Atlantic, Gulf, and Caribbean to Bermuda each summer to compete in the Bermuda Triple Crown Billfish Championship.”
The organisers previously said, “Boats and participants competing in the Bermuda Billfish Blast from July 3-7, Bermuda Big Game Classic from July 14-18, or Sea Horse Anglers Club Billfish Tournament from July 21-25 are eligible for the Bermuda Triple Crown [BTC] Billfish Championship 2022.
“Each qualifying event has the same scoring system for billfish. Boats receive 500 points for blue marlin releases and one point per pound for every blue marlin that meets or exceeds the minimum 500 pound weight. White marlin, spearfish and sailfish are worth 100 points. Boats weighing undersized blue marlin are penalized 500 points plus two points for every pound the fish is underweight.”
