Aerial Video: Big Game Classic Fishing Boats
The 2022 Bermuda Triple Crown event is being held this month – with 35 boats and over 200 crew from around the world taking part — and the Bermuda Big Game Classic portion is now underway, and a look at some of the boats heading out on Friday morning is below.
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.”
