Cabo Magic 213# Yellowfin Tuna wins Western Outdoor News Tourneo

CaboMagic - 11-4-2011 at 10:22 PM

"Tournament Director Pat McDonell called today the best fishing day in the history of the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot, as three cows hit the scales to go with a parade of 100- to 190-pound fish.

The big fish of the event went to the Cabo Magic with a 213 that wasn't in any of the jackpots; but the Pennsylvania based husband and wife team could care less--Orville Henseler fought the cow tuna for an incredible 4.5 hours on 50-pound mono to 150-pound Seaguar while his wife, Cindy, looked on. The catch will give them 80 percent of the $43,500 in the overall jackpot."

Tommy & Lori Garcia's Team CABO MAGICŪ extends hearty CONGRATULATIONS to Orville and Cindy, Captain Hector and Co-Captain ChaCha + all participants ..

Thank you for your kindnesses .. We are proud of the efforts put forth by all crews and add that Captain Hector was nicknamed "Fish Collector" by VIP guests in 1998 when we first offered "CABO MAGIC" as a charter boat - He is very deserving of this special place in Cabo San Lucas fishing history.

Heres another photo of the 213# Yellowfin Tuna ..

Magic best wishes to all.

Some day I hope to be technology proficient - in the meantime thank goodness for patience!
heres another try at adding the photo ...
