Welcome!
We would like to welcome all participants to the 2013 Texas Legends Billfish Tournament, August 7-11th. Last year’s event was a great success and we enjoyed another great year of fishing! With total prize money topping $500,000, 48 boats released over 150 billfish! Last year was Bobby Byrd's final tournament with us as he has taken on new commitments that take up much of his time now. We would like to thank Bobby for all of his service over the years and wish him well in his new endeavors. NEW! Blue Marlin Pools! This year we have added the Blue Marlin 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. Due to lack of participation, we have also closed the $10,000 Billfish Pool. The Port Aransas location is ideal for this bluewater event with boats fishing the entire Texas coast. Last year’s champion was Ken Porter's DONAKEN, taking top honors and was awarded the perpetual Bob Byrd Memorial Trophy to keep for one year. DONAKENS's Captain Dave Noling was awarded the Capt. Bill Hart Memorial Captain’s Trophy and mate Jacob Dawson was awarded the Stewart Campbell Memorial Mate’s Trophy. Marsh Miller on the NOTORIOUS caught a 142 lb. Swordfish, 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. The Texas Saltwater Fishing Hall of Fame - is now under the management of the Houston Big Game Fishing Club (www.hbcfc.com). Please check their website for more information. 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 10th. 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

Tournament Rules 2013 This year we have modified the rules slightly and changed some categories.
Please read the rules carefully
and give us a call if you have any questions. -By entering this tournament, participants agree to abide by all rules and decisions. All committee decisions are final. Contestants are boats.
There may not be any pooling of catch or transfer
of catch from one boat to another. In the event of a mechanical failure that disables a participant’s boat, a substitute boat may be used at the discretion and coordination of a tournament director. Any substitution must take place at the dock, not offshore.
-All boats must be registered and all fees paid before
leaving their respective ports. A committee boat will be stationed in
each port to supervise boats leaving on Thursday, Aug 8th. Boats may
depart anytime after 5pm.
-All boats are required to return to Port Aransas, Texas to weigh
any fish or submit release tapes, regardless of departure port.
-Fishing time starts at 12:01 am on August 9, 2013 and ends at 6
pm
August 10, 2013 at the close of the weigh station. Stop fishing
in time to make the 6 pm deadline if you boat or release a fish.
Boats must be inside the breakwater at Port Aransas Municipal Harbor
Breakwater (not

or submit videos inside the Port
Aransas Harbor at 6 pm will be considered on time. All times are local
CDST and available on your GPS (corrected from Coordinated Universal Time)
Use
your GPS for correct time.
- Contestants will contact a committee boat on VHF Channel 68 immediately after boating or releasing an eligible
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. If all attempts to reach a committee boat fail, another tournament boat can take your catch information, be sure t 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
weigh- in. This includes Blue Marlin -No mutilated or frozen fish accepted!
-A boat may fish as many lines as desired. -All fish must be caught in accordance with State and Federal Laws. -A weather committee comprised of the tournament committee and selected registered participants may decide to postpone the tournament in case of bad weather. Sunday, August 11th may be used as a weather day, if necessary. One day fishing constitutes the tournament. 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 a Tournament Director, in writing, before 7 pm, August 10, 2013. A $500 cash deposit must be included with the protest. The deposit will be returned only if the protest is upheld. The Tournament Committee will resolve all disputes and their decision is final.
POLYGRAPH: All participants (including captain, crew or guest) agree to submit to a polygraph test
if requested by the Tournament Committee. Failure to submit to such an
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.

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
