Lot of fun was had by all at the 2017 Tuna Shoot Out.  We had a total of 53 boats participate in this year's event, weighed 11 yellowfin tuna and 3 dorado.  There was a total of $54,505 USD awarded at this year's tournament.  Both the number of teams and prize money were records for this event!  We would like to thank all of the participants for making this event the best one yet.  We hope to see you all again next year on October 27th when we expect to break these records once again!
