La Romana, DR.– The team from Florida aboard the 62’ Spencer Shoe finished at the top of the leader board on the third and final day of this year’s Casa de Campo International Blue Marlin Classic tournament, taking home a fortune in cash and luxury prizes.
When it was all said and done, the 17 boat tournament fleet had released a very respectable 40 blue marlin in the three days. Shoe’s owner Don Schumacher commented, “Hard work and attention to details by everyone on the team is what accomplished the win for us".
Additionally, 6 white marlin and 2 spearfish were released and although these did not score points in the tournament, the Blue Marlin Classic was the first leg of the Dominican Triple-Header tournament series and they did count towards series points. Contango is holding the lead after leg one in the series.
