The Mini WCBRT Dec 7th & 8th was introduced after the prestigious WCBRT three day all circle hook May event, being a 100% catch-and-release tournament.
The Mini WCBRT was designed to take advantage of Cabo’s most productive time for stripped marlin. And it was a huge success! The team average for the two day tournament was a mind blowing 231.4 fish per boat. With the high individual angler catching 59 marlin
in one day. More than most serious marlin fisherman will catch in a life time. All the marlin were released!
