Fun at Billfish Tournament

We went to the Billfish Tournament last weekend. A billfish is also known as a marlin.  19 teams took part.  There was music, kiosks that sold food like this one selling grilled chicken.
This is Elder Larry Baber. He is our Mission Auditor and also helps run the Mission Office with his good wife.  He likes fishing.
These are the Daltons - Elder Dennis and Sister Barb. They are the Self-Reliance Missionaries in our Mission. They like lots of action so they came to see what was happening too.
While we were waiting for the boats to come in to weigh their catch, we watched this man catch a pretty white and blue bottom-feeding fish.
Besides marlin, the tournament also was for tuna, barracuda, and wahoo.  These are some of the tuna caught by one team. I wonder how many cans of tuna can be made from one fish?
This is the winning billfish. Do you see its big "bill" at the end of its nose?  As each boat unloaded its catch, a big crane lifted it up and weighed it.  This was a fun day.
