August 22, 2004—The weather took a turn for the worse on the final day of fishing, but Harbor Lights managed to find a pod of white marlin and in an exciting come-from-behind finish caught and released seven fish to win the inaugural Virginia Beach Billfish Tournament.
As Mother Nature put on a light show, VBBT participants enjoyed a prime rib dinner, raffles and auctions before the awards presentation. $213,500 was awarded to the winning teams, D.A.R.E. was presented with a $4,000 donation, and the tournament's main charity, the Boys and Girls Club, received a whopping $55,000 donation.
