IN YOUR WORDS...

Allen DeSilva, Fortuna "Deirdre, the VBBT is one of the best run tournaments I have ever fished. The food and entertainment was as good as it gets and hats off to you and Paula for organizing everything so well. What can I say—It's a fun tournament in a fun town. Don't change a thing!" Allen's team, fishing aboard "Fortuna", a 46 ft.Sonny Briggs, traveled from Pembroke, Bermuda to fish the VBBT. They won 4th place overall and, on the second day, weighed the only marlin of the tournament—a 582.0 lb., 122 in. blue.
