Smith Robin reels in Fisherman’s Tournament trophy in Carrot Bay
Robin, who has racked up quite a collection of trophies over the years for winning various fishermen’s tournaments, had the Most Overall Catch of 145lbs, a meagre catch compared to what Robin is accustomed to reeling in.
“I just love fishing, it’s what I do. Whether I am in the BVI or somewhere else this is what I will continue to do," Mr Smith Robin told Virgin Islands News Online.
He noted too that conditions were good and he wasn’t too disappointed with his catch.
Mr Robin won the Hon Andrew A. Fahie trophy.
Other winners
The Dinghy Class category was won by Mr Andrew Stoutt with his vessel ‘The Blessed One’.
Mr Stoutt brought in 100 lbs of fish while in the B Category (under 24 ft vessel), last year’s overall winner Mr Milton Farrington and crew came in with 95 lbs on their vessel ‘X-Rated’.
There was a tie in the Overall Biggest Fish category with both Larry Henley in ‘The Marina’ and Kerbie Hodge in vessel ‘Fishing Attraction’ reeling in a 20lb kingfish.
The Special Fish category was also won by Henley.
A fair size crowd witnessed the weighing of the fish that was almost immediately after snapped up by some aggressive ladies who were keen on going home with a decent parcel of fish. The ladies often swarmed the catch and forced the men with their empty bags to just look on.
Among the catch were tuna, kingfish, mahi mahi and hard nose.
