Micronesia Fishing Tournament

 We went to another fishing derby last weekend. This one brought fishermen from all over Micronesia.  Lots of people come to watch the boats at the end of the day to see their catches weighed.
This is the winning marlin or "billfish." It weighed 302 lbs. See the fancy fishing rods on the back of the boat? One boat at a time comes to the weigh in. There are different kinds of fish caught.
This was one of the smallest boats in the tournament but they caught the greatest number of tuna. It was a fun day.
