WESTERN OUTDOOR NEWS

Welcome to the official Yamaha/WON
Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Website!

What a great Cabo San Lucas event we had in November, with 104 teams from five countries, nine of which won money, topped by team Fisher Man that set a new Mexican tuna record of 383 pounds! Plan now for the 12th annual edition of the WON/Yamaha Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Tournament, slated for Nov. 3-6, 2010 with the tourney headquarters again the Tesoro Hotel where much of the tourney activities will be! Thew slogan this year is again Fish Hard, Party Harder.

"That slogan pretty much sums up our event," said Tuna Jackpot Director Pat McDonell. "We went up in team numbers this year, unprecedented in any event in the U.S. and Mexico. Many of the sponsors will be back, and while the venues may adjust for more angler convenience but we will make those announcements as soon as possible, but we were very pleased with all aspects of the tournament this year, so any changes will be brought about because we can make the tournament better for the anglers. We are looking at the site of the weigh-in, and also at ways we can streamline and shorten the awards ceremony."

The Tesoro Hotel will again play host to the captains meeting, and the venues for the Boardwalk Bash and the Rock and Roll Party will also remain the same, said McDonell.

For more information on the tourney as it develops, see www.loscabostunajackpot.com or www.wonews.com. There will be no changes in the basic rules, schedule and optionals, said McDonell. Look on this home page to the left in the 2010 PREVIEW section for the signup form that is downloadable and printable. See you in Cabo!
