The 9th Annual Roatan Fishing Tournament held in West End turned out to be a record breaking event! On Saturday, September 13, 2008 the Mad Max boat arrived in West End with a 708 lb Blue Marlin after 4 plus hours of work reeling it in. Congratulations to Gary, Claudio, Pasquale, Robert, Collin and Mario! This 708 lb Blue Marlin has broken the Caribbean Central American World record.

IX Torneo De Pesca, Municipalidad De Roatan offered cash awards as well as Clock trophies to the winners in a variety of categories Sunday night at the grand Fishing Tournament festivities. There were lots of booths set up with authentic island food to feed the hundreds of people who came to see “The Big One” that didn't get away! It was also Independence Day weekend for Honduras, so there was an added flare to the parade, floats, bands, marching kids and cheering crowds that filled the sandy road of West End Village.

 
   
     
 

The Roatan Women’s Club drew the winner of the new 2008 Harley Davidson Motorcycle Raffle Sunday night as well, which brought loud applause for Jose Francisco Lovo! All proceeds go to funding better health care on the Island of Roatan. Susan Jensen, the President of Roatan Women’s Club thanked everyone for their generous participation in the event.
