After dodging an artillery shell with Hurricane Odile last month (direct hit from Cat. 4 storm), the 2014 edition of the Bisbee's Black & Blue Marlin Tournament is underway. A total of 127 boats will be competing for more than $2.1 Million in prize money over the next three days.

You can follow all the action at http://www.bisbees.com with daily blogs, photo galleries and live scoring. Here's a sample...
And yes, before someone asks, it is hard work but someone has to do it.

Nice scenery.

Very nice.

Great ending to an emotional week. The Los Cabos community really got a boost from all the tournament activity (charter bookings, bait, hotels, restaurants, etc.). Will go a long way towards recovery from Hurricane Odile.

A team fishing for a charity that supports orphaned boys caught the largest qualifying fish, a 385-pound blue. The $252,000 winnings are being donated to Casa Hogar.

Another team that has paid its dues for more than a dozen years won the biggest payout: $1.62MM. Sporty Game was entered across the board in all the jackpot categories ($71,000).

The Bisbee family also hosted a group of Iraq/Afghan wounded vets through Rivers of Recovery, who fished and had a good time. Got the opportunity to meet some very special service members.

Year 34 is in the books.
