hookinmarlin,

I'd be interested. I usaually fish all the South Florida Billfish Tourneys, so I'm usually booked up. I do have my captains license and have full resume with experience.

I played a big part in two tournament wins in 2005, most notably we won the Bob Lewis this past year. Shoot me a PM if you would like someone to fish this thing or e-mail me at taylor_powell@netzero.com.

Regards,
Capt.T

Entry fee is $80,000 grand. Possibly another $30,000 for Calcuttas. Only 32 boats can fish, and I think you have to be invited to fish the tournament. We are hoping to fish, but only if we can get some MAJOR sponsor dollars.
