What makes the OWC such a competitive international fishing tournament? First, teams must rotate boats each day, fishing with a different captain and crew. The playing field is as level as it gets, with four days of head-to-head competition on the water. Teams must also capture on video their releases of marlin and sailfish, along with a video qualifier that changes each day. The location in Quepos, Costa Rica, also provides plenty of opportunities for the anglers to capitalize on a hot bite offshore, with good numbers of billfish expected throughout the tournament. The Offshore World Championship concludes with a celebratory awards presentation with dinner and entertainment Friday evening. The event is also filmed for a three-part television series which will air later this year.
