<p>October 14, 2016; Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur:</p> <p>The &lsquo;Little Bisbee's&rdquo; is little no more. The Los Cabos Offshore Tournament, long known as the diminutive warm-up for the Black &amp; Blue, has announced its presence with authority. One hundred and eight boats competing for more than $773,000 in prize money proves that, thank you very much. And if there was still any lingering doubt, a look at the team rosters confirms the popularity of this combo billfish/game fish format. Take Juan Barraga and his crew, for example.</p> <p>Barraga, a Cabo San Lucas resident since he was six years old, has been fishing the LCO for the past five years. <a title="البشرة" href="https://skin.onilacare.com/">skin</a> This time he&rsquo;s joined by family members and local radio station Cabo Mil aboard <em>Hook Up</em>, a 38 Blackfin, in the quest to put fish on the dock.</p> <p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re going to go for the tuna and dorado. That&rsquo;s what I love to do,&rdquo; Barraga said before Friday&rsquo;s captains&rsquo; meeting at the Puerto Paraiso Mall. &ldquo;We can put a tuna on the scales, but it&rsquo;s going to take a 250-pounder at least to win.&rdquo; In hedging his bet, however, Barraga and his team mates entered the $500 marlin optional jack pot. He was a little worried about the impending full moon, though.</p> <p>&ldquo;Sunday is going to be tough, so we&rsquo;d better catch our winning fish tomorrow,&rdquo; he said without hesitation.</p> <p>Although they would welcome a winning payout, Catherine Carr and Marilyn Atkins of Texas are fishing for another purpose this weekend. They have dedicated their efforts to their long-time captain, Danny Bosque of Cabo San Lucas, who passed away recently. Bosque skippered <em>Never Give Up</em>, a 35 Cabo.</p> <p>&ldquo;This year we&rsquo;re giving it our all for Danny,&rdquo; Carr, of Medina, Texas, explained. &ldquo;He was our captain and this year we&rsquo;re competing in his honor. But the LCO is always a fun event. The people are great and Wayne and his family do so much for the Cabo community.&nbsp;<a title="تقوية الشعر" href="https://skin.onilacare.com/5-natural-ways-to-strengthen-fine-hair/">تقوية</a> We always enjoy coming, but this one has even more added meaning.&rdquo;</p> <p>Fishing begins at 8 a.m. Saturday and ends at 5 p.m. Qualifying species include marlin weighing more than 300 pounds, tuna topping 40 pounds and dorado exceeding 30 pounds. A big percentage of the fleet is also entered in the optional billfish release division.</p> <h2><a href="https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/904874910/taufkerze-elias-junge-oder-madchen-mit/">taufkerze</a></h2> <h3><a href="https://www.enhertsccg.nhs.uk/sites/default/files/Taufkerze.pdf">Taufkerze</a></h3> <p>The scales open at 2 p.m. at the Puerto Paraiso Mall and the public is welcome to watch the weigh-ins. Sponsor booths, food and beverage vendors and the typical Bisbee&rsquo;s carnival atmosphere make the Los Cabos Offshore one to remember. Even it does still have that undeserved &ldquo;little&rdquo; stigma.</p> <p><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5693.jpg?1476548619467" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5713.jpg?1476548652912" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5714.jpg?1476548683318" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5721.jpg?1476548707543" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5725.jpg?1476548733714" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5726.jpg?1476548758567" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5728.jpg?1476548787402" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5730.jpg?1476548813137" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5732.jpg?1476548839596" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><img src="../../Uploads/Images/IMG_5742.jpg?1476548878555" alt="" width="400" height="400" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
