Rosales won first place thanks to a double fishing on the opening day of the event by working a marlin from 280 to 300 pounds and a sailfish of 80 pounds.
“This time there were not many billfish. On this occasion it hit at 7:45 am, we filmed and released it at 8:45 am” recalled Rosales, Bill fish champion, as he did for seven years ago.
Rosales shared his boat with Chris Rosales, Raul Bodden, Edwin Bush, Ivy Byrd and Greg Ebanks.
Rosales did not think that the achievements of the first day were enough to take the top honor and the check for Lps275, 777.60 (roughly $13,985.00 US Dollars)
” From the money, Lps123,000.00 ($6,237.00) are for expenses. Then I will donate 5,000 ($254.00) to two churches of Roatan” added the athlete.
