Last weekend’s 5th Annual MBTS Fishing Tournament went for three days, with anglers fishing local waters from Friday to Sunday and many records were made.
In all, 136 anglers logged 365 fish totalling 9,402 inches in the catch and release tournament. Competitors registered fish by snapping a photo on boat before releasing their fish back to the waters of Cape Ann. In the end, more than 16 species of fish were caught by all competitors, including more than 30 fish caught that measured more than 40 inches. Wow!
The big tournament winners were Dana Woulfe, who won biggest overall catch and the highest total inches of striped bass (630.5”).
Woulfe also caught the biggest fish, a whopper of a striped bass that measured out at 47 inches.
The other big winner was Claire Yukins, who topped the “Junior Boat Total Inches” of striped bass with 550 inches.
Here is a list of all the winners announced Sunday at the tournament’s award ceremony at Tuck’s Point by organizers Sally and Nate Berkowitz.
Congratulations to all.
