Most of the Governor's Cup fleet is electing to fish back-to-back and Day One was a good one both at the scales and for release tallies. Benchmark leads with 1000 points for the five sailfish they released. One sail was handled by mate Will Thornhill who said, "The sailfish like naked ballyhoo rigged up on light tackle with a 60-pound leader and a cricle hook." Can't Complain is in second place with 800 points after releasing a sailfish and a blue marlin, and owner Mullins McCloud said, "I can't complain!" All tallied 46 billfish were released on Day One with four blue marlin (Can't Complain, Petrel, Big Sky and Big Kahuna), one white marlin and 41 sailfish. Boats with three sailfish released were Daymaker, Full Pull, Secontan and Reel Jim. Angler Kara Smith released a sailfish on Rock'N'Reel and is in the lead for Lady Angler honors. The leading dolphin is 37.4-pounds caught by John Floyd aboard Full Pull. Top tuna honors go to James Lucas for his 12.2-pound blackfin caught from Gusto IV. The wahoo leader is Carter Smith with his 42-pounder caught from Mindset.
