Thirty-four years ago, a young man named Fernando Antonio Flores was hired by Bob Bisbee to help during the Black and Blue Tournament. He's the one in the pink cap.

We're well into the clubhouse turn for our upcoming tournaments and they're shaping up great!

We've got a couple of things we want all of you to be aware of for this year.

There were 123 teams, 763 anglers, competing for not just bragging rights but also the princely sum of $1,165,000 dollars on the line that was passed out at the popular Cabo San Lucas Maria Coronas Restaurant hosted by owner, Jorge Gonzales.

Bob Bisbee Sr., patriarch of the Bisbee’s Black & Blue Tournaments phenomena, peacefully passed away June 14, 2018 in the north Dallas Metroplex, leaving behind a legacy, a loving family and a huge circle of friends.

The Wild Hooker arrived next with veteran angler Danny Hogan who placed in a Bisbee Tournament last year. As his fish was being hoisted to be weighed, team member Allen Stuart murmured as he eyed the fish, “Now I know what it’s like to be in Third Place.” 

When Hogan’s black marlin tipped the scale at 458 pounds, the Team Wild Hooker roared approval.  They were in fact in First Place for the day!  Hogan volunteered that they only had one bite on a skipjack in the two days – “It was a one strike/one fish,” he grinned.

Another big winner the first day was Casa Hogar and the families living out in the Barrios. Jen and David Limpert of Hope for Los Cabos who collected all the fish caught Friday, arranged to have them cleaned and filleted and then delivered 48 double-sized zip-lock bags the same evening.

We have chosen what we feel is the most appropriate place and time to gather in remembrance and celebrate Dad's life. 

There were 671 anglers and crews consisting of 114 teams who competed in the 19th Annual Los Cabos Offshore Tournament held October 19 - 22 in Cabo San Lucas and the winners carried home $823,500 in prize money.  To quote Wayne Bisbee, “The “Los Cabos Offshore” can’t be called the “Baby Bisbee” any longer … it’s all grown up!”
