#Cabo #Unstoppable #Imparable #TendenciaBcs

Fishing with great weather expected, tournament ended up with 133 teams, making this the biggest tournament in Cabo this year, again. A fantastic turnout,only two teams off last year

The yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) marketed as ahi, from its Hawaiian name ʻahi although the name ʻahi in Hawaiian also refers to the closely related bigeye tuna. The species name, albacares ("white meat") can lead to confusion. The tuna known as albacore in English, is a different species of tuna: Thunnus alalunga. However, yellowfin tuna is officially designated albacore in French, and is referred to as albacora by Portuguese fishermen. Also known as Allison tuna.
