"The Great Panama Fishing Challenge"
Tournament invitation
Hello to all you die hard fishermen, If you have been waiting for that one reason to come visit us here in Chiriqui, Panama, wait no longer. The Panama Marine Resource Foundation is holding it’s first major fund raising event on May 17th and 18th, 2013. The P.M.R.F. was formed this year by a group of concerned Panamanians, and international sportsmen and women. This foundation is working with private citizens, governmental agencies and allied business to keep Panama's oceans, rivers and beaches clean and with a sustainable fishery. The foundation has been active in beach clean ups, turtle restoration projects and working with the government to maintain Panama's position as the world’s premier fishing destination. We are a nonprofit foundation all working as volunteers. We feel with all the prior experience in the sport fishing industry and tourism field what would be more fun than holding a very limited tournament entry tournament. This tournament will produce not only important fish catch data in our tagging programs but also feed some deserving community charities. Please consider this letter as your invitation to participate. Here is the basic overview of the event. The Event, "The Great Panama Fishing Challenge" The event will take place at the following locations on Friday May, 17th and Saturday May 18th 2013.

Saturday, May 18th, fishing begins at dawn. Weight stations close at 6:00pm no exceptions. Eligible species: Yellow fin tuna A limit of two fish may be entered per angler per day. The total tournament entry per angler is four fish. Dorado "Mahi Mahi" A similar two fish limit, per angler, per day. Four fish limit per angler for the tournament. Marlin division, Black, blue and striped earn equal points. This is a hook and release tournament as it is for the sole purpose in aiding the scientific community in an international tagging program. Tags will be supplied to all boats. POINT SYSTEM FOR THE TOURNAMENT we have come up with what we feel will be a fair point system for the tournament. Time of each catch must be recorded on each fish retained. After each day of fishing, the boat’s captain must sign all weigh in cards. Tuna and Dorado will be awarded one point per pound, fish will be weighed on the participating lodges certified scale, (Whole fish). After weight is determined the fish will be opened. (gut cavity) The daily catch in pounds for each angler will be recorded and logged into the official weigh records posted at each site. A copy of their daily catch total will be written on their derby ticket. * In case of a tie in any division we have printed a “time of catch" box. This “time of catch” box will require the angler to record their catch on the official tournament entry catch form. All landed fish must be recorded on this form. First fish caught, time wise, will be declared the winner in case of tie.
Marlin Division: The Marlin division is a hook, tag, and release division!
Points awarded will be 100 points per "tagged fish". Tournament prizes and awards We will be awarding one of a kind trophies to the division winners at each participating lodge and also an overall champion's trophy. The trophies will go to first place Tuna, Dorado and Marlin winners at each lodge. The overall total point winner of the tournament will get the "The Great Panama Fishing Challenge” trophy. The winning lodge where the angler fished from will receive a duplicate trophy to hold for one year. Additional prizes Rods, Reels, Line, and other great prizes will also be awarded at each participating lodge. We are looking currently for an overall sponsor and will be keeping you all updated.
