American Caribbean Challenge

Our good friends Lee Stevens and Jerry Perez have started something special down in western Puerto Rico. The American Caribbean Challenge is a charity tournament supporting the hearing and visually impaired children of Cabo Rojo and western Puerto Rico.  Looks like they had a great time doing a great community service!  Congratulations on a successful first year!
Their dates for this year's event are September 30 to October 3, 2010.

Boats under 40 ft. know how to bring home the cash!

The question: Do you need a big boat to compete in the MGCBC?  The answer: Not for the last three years as the center console gang has competed very well and taken home some extremely large checks at the Sunday award ceremonys.
When the XS Rated came to the scales in '09, angler Joe Allen and company, with captain Mathew Caldwell surprized the crowd not once, but twice.
The first surprize came when the sleek, center console style boat arrived at the same dock along side the much larger, cockpit style, sportfishing boats.  Then came the second suprize, the crew weighed in the winning wahoo, taking home a whopping $115,680 for their catch.  The 40 foot and under boats have regularly placed in the meat fish divisions in recent years and have shown that without a doubt, they do indeed know how to bring home the cash.
