Tristram Marine Open 2022
Increased sponsorship from Tristram Marine, generous support from nearly 50 other sponsors, and 184 anglers on 60 boats enabled the prize pool to top $100,000 for the first time!
Fishing was again able to take place on all eight days which amazingly has happened every year.
174 fish were caught of which 75 were marlin, by far the most ever in a MBGFC tournament!
Top team was ‘Tenacious” with “Fyssher” runner up.
Top light tackle team was “Mercy”, followed by “Outahere” and “Blurred Lines”
