746-Pound Monster Marlin Caught on Bisbee Registration Day!
The Little Boat that Could…Pisces’ Tracy Ann!

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico — The Pisces Group Cabo is reporting that a 746-pound pound Blue Marlin was caught this morning at 10AM, October 18th, 2011 about 1.5 miles offshore on the Pacific side. The Tracy Ann is a 31-foot, popular and affordable standard boat within the Pisces Fleet and boasts Twin Catepillar 3208 engines providing more maneuverability. A local fishing icon captains the Tracy Ann by the name of Sr. Julio Castro. He is a long-time favorite captain of the angler friends Patrick Neville, his wife Jean, Thomas Heinz and his wife Penny all out of Florida, USA.

Coincidentally, the 746 pound, monster Blue Marlin catch has happened on same day that check-in and registration begins for the World’s biggest Black & Blue Marlin Tournament, “Bisbee’s.” Patrick Neville is a repeat client with Pisces Sportfishing for nearly one decade fishing with Captain Julio Castro and on the Tracy Ann each year, three times per year.

Patrick Neville added, “This morning, Captain Julio asked us if we would like to fish for Marlin because he felt today may be a good day so we looked at each other and said, ‘sure, sounds great!’ We never had any intention of catching a massive fish but that is all part of the adventure when fishing in Cabo San Lucas during this time of year!”

This catch was unique is that it happened quickly but like a high-speed car chase. At 8:30AM, lines were dropped in the water. 10 minutes later, the Blue Marlin hit the line and the chase was on. The Blue Marlin literally ran out the line to the very end on three different occasions with just the knot remaining on the reel.

After a bit of a tug-of-war only for 15 to 20 minutes, the fish died fairly quickly around 9:00AM, the monster Blue Marlin died. It took about one hour and forty minutes for the fish the fish to be literally pulled in by hand by three people and the deck hand as it died beneath the water. The 746-Pound Blue Marlin was boated around 10:30AM local time. Another odd thing about this Blue Marlin was the fact that it did not have a bill, apparently lost probably to a predator at a young age because the tip was completely healed over.

Patrick Neville trusts the boat and captain saying, “Why change a good thing, it works for us and we are a great team together. Over my 10 years in coming to Cabo for sportfishing at Pisces, we have caught over 40 Striped Marlin, we love the destination, we love the people and when we first met Julio, we were ‘hooked.’” Captain Julio Castro added, “This is the 2nd biggest Blue Marlin catch in my life, the other being 758 pounds but the experience this time is second-to-none.”

A buzz was in the air all day as news of a giant Blue Marlin catch circulated around Cabo San Lucas quickly amongst the locals, tourists and heavy-hitting anglers readying and registering for the Bisbee’s – World’s Biggest Black & Blue Marlin Tournament. As the boat drew near to the weigh station at center stage right in front of the Puerto Paraiso Mall, a big crowd of anglers and media outlets had gathered in anticipation.

Another twist in the story was the size of the boat itself. At only 31-feet, the modest-sized boat drew attention itself when the fish was being weighed. Onlookers and anglers were asking around, “is that the boat that pulled in the huge Marlin?” Jean Neville and Penny Heinz said to a few people that, “If we hadn’t had the Tracy Ann, we might have lost the fish because of the ease in maneuvering with the Blue Marlin. Literally, we had to keep up with the marlin and angle the boat on a dime throughout the catch.”

Quoted by Mrs. Tracy Ehrenberg, General Manager of Pisces Sportfishing and Yacht Charters in Los Cabos for more than 30 years, “You don’t need to have a big boat to catch a big fish. The Tracy Ann is only a 31-foot boat. It really is about being in the right place at the right time. Most often, a great captain who knows the local waters will be able to guide anglers to excellent fishing areas, which will change, on a daily basis. A combination of having a great captain, maybe even the right bait or lure and then as with any sport, you need a little bit of luck for the best opportunities sportfishing in Cabo has to offer.”

Captain Julio Castro has been awarded the Billfish Foundation award in 2005, 06, 09 and 2010 for most striped marlin released worldwide. Patrick Neville, Jean Neville, Thomas Heinz and his wife Penny Heinz will all be back fishing this Thursday on October 20th again on the same boat, with the same captain and looking for another huge marlin catch.

Each year, beginning in July and August and up through December, the destination of Los Cabos is considered to be the hub for marlin deep sea fishing and even called, “The Black & Blue Marlin Capital of the World.” Annually, in October, some of the world’s richest sportfishing tournaments and jackpots are hosted in Cabo San Lucas. The destination has been the Mecca for fishermen and women from around the world, dating back to the 1950’s but really began growing in popularity over the last 30 years. Proudly, Pisces Group Cabo and Pisces Sportfishing has been a cornerstone of the Los Cabos fishing community and the name is now known around the world.

Wide Open Excursions Expands Operations,  Opens New Facility In Cabo San Lucas

Wide Open Excursions - Cabo San Lucas, Baja, Mexico

Irvine, Calif (March 8, 2011)—Wide Open Excursions, the adrenaline-filled off-road driving adventure provider, is pleased to announce that it has expanded its operations in Cabo San Lucas Mexico and has opened a new facility there.

Partners R. Brent Fenimore, Robert J. Smith, and Fred M. Blum, who recently acquired the company, have expanded southern operations into two additional buildings totaling 506 square meters (5546 square feet). The first contains offices, a conference area, retail apparel sales area, client reception area with video presentation, and a full service bar for refreshments.

Behind the offices is a courtyard with a ‘palapa’ (shade covering with natural bamboo roof) and built-in seating, video presentation area, outdoor kitchen with barbeque and fireplace, a client locker room with showers, and restrooms.

The attached new building contains the mechanical shop to maintain the Baja Challenge tour cars and contains a vehicle showroom for orientation, a locker room with showers, MIG and heli-arc welding stations, mechanical repair stations, and a wash bay for final preparation of the cars prior to departing on the off-road excursions.

Both buildings have been totally remodeled. The office building was a mere shell in December 2009 and has been completely rebuilt and refurbished. The courtyard, bar, kitchen, and appointments were completed in time for the grand opening, which occurred last week. The mechanical shop was developed from the ground up beginning in August 2010 and will be completed by March 15.

“We are excited about our new Wide Open offerings and expansion in the Cabo San Lucas market. It has been refreshing to work with the local business owners and resort hotels to incorporate their products and services into our expanded offerings” said Brent Fenimore, Partner and Managing Director for Wide Open Excursions. “This is an exciting time for the business community in Cabo San Lucas as the tourist industry shows strong signs of recovery and growth for Cabo San Lucas as a vacation destination.”

Wide Open Excursions also maintains its operations in Ensenada, Mexico and is expanding its operations in the U.S. to include cooperative agreements with independent off-road adventure companies in several states.

About Wide Open Excursions
Since 1997, WIDE OPEN Excursions has provided more than 16,000 guests and corporate clients with the world’s most unique and adrenaline-filled adventure opportunity. Their vision: To share the joy of high-performance off-road driving and the unspoiled beauty of the Baja peninsula and Nevada’s Great Basin, which were previously accessible only for the adventurous lucky few.  In 2011, Wide Open Excursions will expand into three new territories throughout the United States.

Much more than a driving school or follow the leader tour, the WIDE OPEN experience pushes the envelope of an adventure-based vacation. Their Baja Challenge (BC) cars are specifically designed to provide guests with the safety and performance of a desert racer, yet are easy enough for anyone to drive.

Wide Open Racing, the competition division of Wide Open Excursions, provides “arrive and drive” race seats in the same off-road race cars for amateurs and professionals looking to compete in off-road races. The Team Wide Open corporate car finished third in the Class 1 category at the Score Tecate Baja 1000 last month—a remarkable feat considering it was the only four-cylinder powered car in the class. They also finished fourth in Class 1 last June in the famous Baja 500.

Zúrich, 15 de abril de 2010 – Hublot, junto a la FIFA (Federación
Internacional de Fútbol Asociado), anuncia que será “Reloj Oficial” en las dos próximas Copas
del Mundo de la FIFA este mes de junio en Sudáfrica y en 2014 en Brasil. Esta
nueva colaboración con la máxima instancia futbolística representa para Hublot la
culminación absoluta de su estrategia deportiva relacionada con el fútbol.

Hublot tiene a su espalda una larga y exitosa trayectoria en el universo del
balón: después de haber sido patrocinador del equipo suizo en 2006, socio
del Euro 2008, asociado de la Federación Mexicana de Fútbol y de la
selección nacional española, “Official Timekeeper” del Manchester United y
más recientemente socio de Diego Maradona, ahora la marca firma con la FIFA
uno de sus acuerdos más prestigiosos.

El CEO de Hublot, Jean-Claude Biver, acaba de lograr una nueva asociación de
capital importancia al conseguir que Hublot sea “Reloj Oficial” de la FIFA y
de los dos Mundiales de 2010 y 2014: “Conocemos muy bien el entorno
futbolístico, Hublot fue la primera marca de lujo que se implicó en este
campo. Ahora es un gran honor y una  inmensa satisfacción haber sido
proclamados “Reloj Oficial” para las dos próximas Copas del Mundo de la
FIFA, y poder estar presentes en el mayor acontecimiento televisivo del
mundo”.

“Estoy contento de contar con Hublot para las próximas Copas Mundiales de la
FIFA.  Aprecio mucho que Hublot haya sabido mantener su carácter innovador y
distintivo gracias al dinamismo y la pasión de Jean-Claude Biver. La imagen
de Hublot aporta  calidad y precisión suizas”, añade Joseph S. Blatter,
Presidente de la FIFA.

La presencia de la marca relojera en los campos del fútbol como
“Cronometrador Oficial” se traducirá en la visibilidad de HUBLOT en los
paneles de los árbitros cuando  éstos indiquen los cambios de jugadores y el
tiempo adicional en la próxima Copa del Mundo de la FIFA 2010. Además, como
“Reloj Oficial”, Hublot creará una serie exclusiva en edición limitada para
la Copa del Mundo de la FIFA de 2014 en Brasil así  como colecciones
especiales de relojes relacionados con la Copa del Mundo de la FIFA  a
partir de 2011.
