This one's for Curt!
The local based sport fishing team of the Get Reel, who are fishing the Billfish Extreme Release Tournament for ESPN2 in the Caribbean, pulled off a first place win in Puerto Rico Wednesday, Sept. 8. After losing team owner Curt Johnson two months ago, the crew pulled together and finished fourth overall against the best bill fishing teams in the world. The first place win was a bittersweet ending to a phenomenal and tragedy-riddled season. They walked away with $101,000 in the final leg of the tournament. Capt. Brian Phillips, first mate Keith Banks, Alan Latham, Jason Nolan, Steve Orr and Ricardo Tomayo of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, make up the team.
