Welcome!
We would like to welcome all participants to the 2014 Texas Legends Billfish Tournament, August 6-10th. Last year’s event was a great success and we enjoyed another great year of fishing! A total of 49 boats competed for $675,000 in prize money! The Port Aransas location is ideal for this bluewater event with boats fishing the entire Texas coast. Last year’s champion was George Gartner's LEGACY, taking top honors and was awarded the perpetual Bob Byrd Memorial Trophy to keep for one year. LEGACY's Captain Kevin Deerman was awarded the Capt. Bill Hart Memorial Captain’s Trophy and mate Cameron Plaag was awarded the Stewart Campbell Memorial Mate’s Trophy. Dennis Pasentine on the FIRST CHOICE caught a 139.9 lb. Yellowfin Tuna, winning the Alfred Glassell Memorial Trophy, awarded to the boat weighing the largest fish in the tournament. Your entry fee makes you eligible for exciting new cash prizes! CASH PRIZES
$2,000
t
$1,000 to the boat releasing the most billfish!
This tournament is dedicated to Texas fishermen and we consider it a privilege to celebrate the lives of those who have excelled in saltwater fishing. Also, please take time to remember some of our old friends on the Texas Big Game Fisherman’s Roll Call - a tribute to those who have passed on in our sport. Our tournament is unique in that once you are registered you may leave from any Texas port. The weigh-in and memorial dinner party will be in Port Aransas on August 9th. The winners will be awarded on Sunday morning at the Awards Brunch. We have pioneered the concept of a video release format with points awarded for blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish. The Port Aransas weigh-in and awards allows fishermen easy access to the nearby rocks and rigs that this area is famous for. We would like to thank all of our sponsors and your patronage is greatly appreciated. Join us this year as we honor old friends, catch some great fish and celebrate our big game fishing heritage... Good Fishing! Capt. John Cochrane - Tournament Director

- Contestants will contact a committee boat on VHF Channel 68

billfish. It is
not necessary to call in hook-ups, only catch or release information. It
is also not necessary
to
call in tuna, wahoo or dolphin. For released billfish the committee boat
will also record the time of release. Be
sure the committee boat gets your information. - In the event that no contact can be made with a committee boat, have another boat relay the information to a committee boat for you or call Tournament Headquarters at 409-739-4817. If all attempts to reach a committee boat fail, another tournament boat can take your catch information, be sure to get the boat's name and make sure they record the time. If you are unable to contact a committee boat, but have telephone service, you may also call Tournament Headquarters at 409-739-4817 to report your catch. - All boats are required to have a video camera to verify release of billfish. NO EXCEPTIONS. Releases should be confirmed by nearby boats, if possible, and reported to a committee boat.
Jungle Rules! There are no angling rules other than the fish must be caught on an IGFA conventional rod and reel and boated by hand or gaff. Anyone may handle the fishing rod. No harpoons, shooting, explosives, poison, electric reels, electric shock, entangling devices, nets, longlines or other non-sporting devices may be used.
-Fish must be weighed in edible condition. This rule will be
strictly enforced. Remember to take plenty of ice and insulated fish
bags. All fish must remain in the weigh master’s possession until the
end of the tournament or until released by weigh master.
-Boats weighing fish will be responsible for those fish after

If the tournament is cancelled due to weather, entry fees will be refunded less tournament expenses.
- Regardless
of weather, the captain/owner of each vessel is responsible for
decisions made regarding the safety of their vessel.
-Conduct:
the committee will consider unsportsman-like conduct as grounds for
disqualification. Contestants are responsible for their crew’s
actions. Committee decisions are final. Protests: The only situation where a protest will be considered is in regards to a violation of the tournament rules. All protests should be substantial in nature, include documented evidence and must be submitted to the Tournament Director, in writing, before 7 pm, August 9, 2014.

exam will result in the disqualification of the boat, at the discretion of the
Tournament Committee
Scoring
Our
Tournament promotes the release of Billfish! This point system is designed to promote releasing all Blue Marlin under 500 lbs. All White Marlin and Sailfish must be released! Blue Marlin are the only billfish eligible to weigh in the Billfish and Blue Marlin Pools and must be at least 101” in short length - the Lower tip of the jaw to the fork of the tail. Blue Marlin, White Marlin and Sailfish are the only fish scored in the billfish pools. Swordfish are not scored in the billfish pools.
A
Blue Marlin release counts the same as bringing a 500 lb blue to the
dock!

-Highest aggregate score determines the winner(s). In the case of a tie
on weighed fish,
length prevails. On released fish, if the score is tied, the boat
catching the most blue marlin releases wins. If still tied, the boat
with the earliest release time wins. If there is a tie between boats
with weighed fish and released fish, the boat with the most weighed
points wins. Entry Fee and Boat Pools

Headquarters on or before July 15, 2014 to qualify for discounted

Last year there was a little confusion about the Blue Marlin Pools... The pools are NOT just for weighed blue marlin, but include released blue marlin points just like the Billfish Pools.. These new pools are for Blue Marlin Only and are for those participants strictly interested in blues.. Boats can enter any or all of the Billfish or Blue Marlin Pools they desire. All of these pools will pay four places in each pool. The Optional Boat and Fish Pools are exactly that... optional, and are not required or included in the entry fee. Entry into the Optional Pools is not required to be eligible for the Tournament trophies and awards. Payout on all Optional Pools is 95%. 5% Administrative cost deducted.
-All Billfish and Blue Marlin Pools use an aggregate point system. The boat with the most points wins.

Video Release All boats are required to have a video camera to verify release of billfish. All boats will be required to present their video at the Weigh-in Station for the Tournament Committee to review and verify. All boats must be able to connect their camera to a TV Monitor, Laptop or other device when presenting their video for verification at the Weigh-in Station. It is up to the participant to furnish everything needed to view their video! ***NO EXCEPTIONS*** -Releases should be confirmed by nearby boats, if possible, and must be reported to a committee boat. If no committee boat can be reached, another tournament boat can verify the catch. Releases can also be reported to Tournament Headquarters - Call John Cochrane 409-739-4817
-Only releases verified by video camera and verified by
Tournament Committee earn points.
-Each boat is responsible for it’s own video equipment
-It’s a good idea to film with more
than one camera in case of equipment failure. -After a catch, pan the cockpit. Confirming no other lines in the water.
Each release video
must show the following:
Angler fighting the fish showing the object of the
day. Entire fight is not necessary. Clear identification of species
Wireman with leader in hand AND
showing the object
of the day during wiring and release Wiring and release of fish showing hook removal or cutting of leader with the fish swimming
away, followed
by an immediate and complete pan of the cockpit.
The camera should not stop during wiring, release and complete
pan of cockpit. If the wireman has the leader in hand and the hook pulls, the fish still qualifies if all other rules are satisfied. If
the fish is only identifiable as a billfish, it will score 100 points. More
is Better!
The more video we
see, the easier it is for us to verify you have met all of the video
release requirements!

Letter to the Tournament: My name is Robert Veselka, I fished on the "Bottom Dollar" with Joe Frazer in the 2007 Texas Legends Billfish Tournament this past weekend. I wanted to compliment your group that put the tournament together. I fished the Poco Bueno for 26 years in a row on the "Satisfaction" with Edwin Hawn and on the "Ventura" with Dale Schrader; fortunate enough to be on the boat when we won first place in 1993 and second place in 1994. I then went to Bermuda in 2004 and 2005 fishing the July tournaments for the Bermuda Triple Crown. Of all of the tournaments I have been to in my 30 years experience, I found the Texas Legends was the most professional presented tournament I have been to. My compliments to your group. RMV. With the format you have, I feel you have the potential to become "the" tournament to fish on the Texas coast, with the largest payout within a year or two. I will be 76 in two weeks and am probably the oldest regular offshore fisherman around since Bill Hart passed away. However, I do know the difference between a regular fishing tournament and a "GREAT" tournament and this year's Texas Legends was just that. Robert Veselka Portland, Texas August 13, 2007
