Nestled at the southern tip of Baja California where the azure waters of the Gulf of California meet the Pacific Ocean, Cabo San Lucas has long been a sanctuary for those who seek the thrill of angling in one of the world’s premier fishing destinations. In 2023, this idyllic Mexican coastal town played host to the 25th anniversary of the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament, a landmark event that brought together anglers from across the globe. While developing Hurricane Norma took aim at the Los Cabos region, anglers’ spirits soared as the striped marlin bite blazed hotter than ever before. Over three exhilarating days, the tournament record for billfish releases was shattered as 42 teams released a staggering total of 583 striped marlin, seven blue marlin, and three sailfish. This number nearly quadrupled the previous tournament release record of 150 in 2018. The Cabo spirit—a unique fusion of daring adventure and languid relaxation—came alive once again, reminding us all why this tournament remains a beloved tradition for big-game anglers and a true celebration of billfishing.
