Team Dragin Balls wrapped up second place in the Billfish Bonanza. With two women on the boat they had a slight advantage though :D

Team Lowrance made a strong run at the end but fell up one fish short of 2nd place. They had 11 shots the last day and landed 4 sailfish. Remarkably...Mike Campbell from Lowrance was in the hot seat for every hookup on Day 3, including a zesty little blue marlin that tore up the gear before ousting the hook. Pretty wild thumbup

Another Gage waterproof bag gets raffled off to a lucky winner. We also raffled off two of Redington's awesome soft tackle bags at the event. I was checking those bags out and think they'd make a great diaper bag. Kind of a one-bag-does-it-all kind of a deal if you know what I mean rofl
