Thousands of Powerboats and Sailboats for sale

June 30, 2004 - BOAT HARBOUR, BAHAMAS - Team "Tangled in Blue" ran away with it all at the Bahamas Billfish Championship, bringing home both the Top Overall and Top Release team this year. After taking the lead of the five-leg tournament during the Central Abaco leg, they never looked back, sealing the deal on day one at Boat Harbor boating a 543 pound Blue Marlin.

This Cinderella Story started with Captain Lyndsay Forde and Mate Doug Covin; two men who had never before worked together. These two piloted a 570 Bertram that had never had a line in the water before these tournaments.
Many different anglers played their part in this effort, including a few first-timers, making this win even more special. A true team effort, several fish were caught by current and future Bertram owners. All in all, "Tangled in Blue" caught and released 11 billfish during the series making this the most successful BBC season in Allied Richard Bertram Marine Group's history.
President George Jousma, a sport fishing enthusiast and marine industry veteran, was on-hand to accept the awards, along with the team. Mr.Jousma said, "Taking the top prize in the BBC was one of the most gratifying moments in both my personal and professional life."
Overall, more than 15 trophies were taken home by Team Tangled in Blue and will be on display in the organization's Fort Lauderdale showroom. ARBMG will honor the "Tangled in Blue" fighting chair by retiring it and adding it to its showroom display for its part in the victory.
Please join us in the celebrating this monumental victory.
