The winning fish was a 170.3-pound marlin caught by angler Wendy Rose aboard Genesis. The skipper was Bob Schnoor, and the crew member was James Blanton.

“It was a great turnout for the Lahaina Yacht Club event that has become quite a tradition. We saw a lot of people having a lot of fun out there,” said Philip Link, tournament director and LYC rear commodore of power.

An awards banquet followed the tournament. All participants were invited for a buffet meal, and all anglers were presented with door prizes donated by local merchants.
