10th Annual Riviera Zane Grey Invitational Tournament Final Results
 

We have reached the end of the 10th Annual Riviera Zane Grey Invitational Marlin Tournament and it was an exciting finish that went right past the lines out call with the Gambler fighting a fish that could have potentially put them over the top of the competition. As it happened the fish was not big enough to qualify and therefore change up the standings but it did ensure that they would win some money by taking the daily jackpot with 500 points for the day. Some teams picked at fish to make sure that they ended in the top three and took some money while other boats worked hard and finished with a bit of pride. Of the 14 boats entered in the tournament all but one managed to release at least one striped marlin and collect some points.

The big mover on this day was Bad Company who kept consistent and put up another four releases to take over the lead on points. They also took the daily jackpot for day two with two more releases than any other boat. Good Karma who led after the first day is still holding in second place though they were not able to hook a fish on day two. Another boat that maintained a spot in the top three was Ohana despite also going without a fish through the second day.
