BBC e-Update June 15th

    Tony Huerta was in the Abacos celebrating his wedding anniversary and doing some marlin fishing on his Torres 43, Lo Que Sea (Whatever), when he decided to enter the Bahamas Billfish Championship's fourth leg at Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour Marina. Although Lo Que Sea was a last-minute entry, there was certainly nothing last-minute about the team's performance during the tournament. Lo Que Sea scored an impressive 2,600 points catching and releasing four blue marlin and one white marlin during the three-day tournament sponsored by Bertram Yacht and Allied Marine.
    Huerta's team from Longwood, Florida release a blue marlin on day one, a blue and a white marlin on day two and two blues on the final day to achieve the winning 2,600 point total. For the win, Lo Que Sea received the Randy Rich designed First Place trophy from Alton Herndon, president of Bertram and Robert McDougal, president of Allied Marine. As Top Release Team for the Boat Harbour Championship, Lo Que Sea was presented with an original bronze trophy awarded by BBC sponsors Murray Products, High Seas Technology and PipeWelders. Steve Lewis of the Lewis Marine Group presented Top Crew trophies to Capt. 'KP' Kevin Paul and the crew of Lo Que Sea.
    Another BBC newcomer, Orion, finished in Second Place. Justin Hudgens' Jupiter, Florida based Hatteras 77 caught a blue marlin each day to get a total of 1,800 points. The Cabo 48 Deguello owned by Gary Domel grabbed the early tournament lead by catching and releasing two blue marlin and one white marlin on day one. Because team Deguello was the first team to achieve 1,400 points, the team from Spicewood, Texas finished in Third Place. In addition to the Randy Rich acrylic trophies, the top three teams all received gift certificates from Roffer's Ocean Fishing Forecast and BoatMat Corp.
    The Smith Merritt Insurance and International Special Risks 'Customer Appreciation Award' was presented to Gary Domel and Team Deguello. Smith Merritt and ISR award a Carey Chen print to their insured scoring the highest points at each individual leg of the BBC.
