This year was the eighteenth annual TART tournament. Ken Corday has been hosting the tournament since its beginning. Five boats including the Ihu Nui, Chiripa, Humdinger, Pacific Blue and the Northern Lights competed for five days to accumulate the most points for catching blue marlin. Every fish tagged is worth points, and a fish over three hundred pounds can be boated for extra points. Five anglers, including Ken, also compete for points and the overall total score for the week. Each angler fishes one day on their designated boat and switches boats throughout the week. On day one we opened up the lead by catching Ken the first blue of the tournament. He also released a shortnose spearfish but unfortunately only blue marlin count for points.
