Twisted Bills Wins Annual Loop Florida West Coast Bluewater Series

  Big SwordAug 24, 2017 This year Loop, as with those of the past, challenged the brawn and endurance of the competing teams with 3 non-stop days of fishing¦ no port calls, no cheeseburgers in paradise. The Ironman of Billfishing, the Loop, was also the final leg & capstone for the Florida West Coast Bluewater Series. This year we added points for successful tag and releases.  We are proud to report 98% were tagged and look forward to working with the Billfish Foundation with research data from the middle Gulf of Mexico. With 9 teams competing, Team Twisted Bills Captain Daniel Munyan and crew eclipsed last year winners, Team On Course and, roared to the win with Two Blue Marlin with tags and 1 White Marlin with tag.
