Just some information on the the 2010 IGFA Offshore World Championship

The IGFA Offshore World Championship, often considered the “Olympics” of big-game fishing, is a gathering of international teams. These teams qualify by winning one of the over 110 IGFA sponsored events and receive invitations to participate in this, the most prestigious blue-water sport-fishing event in the world . Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the "marlin capital of the world" is where the best big game anglers head each May to compete in the IGFA Offshore World Championship.

After the end of fishing on Day two, the top 3 teams overall were Lyford Cay Offshore Tournament, with 1026.80 points, IGFA OWC 2009 Champions ,with 996.60 points and Harbourside Rotary Tuna, with 900 points. Fishing Cabo San Lucas is full of surprises. Besides the 25 Striped Marlin there were a large number of wahoo caught with a total of 14 weighed. The overall hook-up conversion rate was 69.44%.
