Winners of the 2007 Fort Pierce Billfish Derby - Huzzy
Capt. Glenn Cameron and the Floridian team won second place overall with 9 releases and also took home a daily on day 2 winning a total of $35,650.
The Alican, with Capt. Dougie Heaton II, beat out the Dixie Devil with 7 releases on time in a close battle for third place. The crew of the Alican won 2 dailies on the first and third day of fishing and took home the top money prize of $41,100.
Throughout the event, most boats fished north of Fort Pierce. Even though fishing got off to a slow start, the tournament winners were down to the wire in fierce competition, a double or a triple could have changed the whole game.
The Fort Pierce Billfish Derby hosted the First Annual Pink Ladies Billfish Tournament on January 4, 2007. The tournament had a great first year turn out with 11 boats participating in this one day, all lady angler tournament. All proceeds from the tournament went to The Treasure Coast Pink Tie Organization, "Women Fighting Breast Cancer."
In 2004, the FA LA ME released 33 to win the event. In 2006, The Floridian released 36 to claim the new record and win the event.
We feel that our waters, the timing, the forum, and generous payouts are something that you'll really like enjoy!
