The 2013 Bermuda Billfish Blast participants enjoyed perfect weather and a great blue marlin bite. Representing the first leg of the Bermuda Triple Crown Billfish Championship series, the Blast fishing began on the Fourth of July and is designed to support the teams also fishing in the Blue Marlin World Cup Championship tournament. Teams are allowed to weigh a fish on July Fourth, but are required to release all billfish on the second and third days of fishing.
