Incredible discovery from the Gulf: a tagged yellowfin tuna, released in May near Venice, LA by the LA‑Tex Tournament, was later found in the stomach of a 595‑lb blue marlin sampled at the Cajun Canyons Billfish Classic, marking the first-ever recapture of a tagged fish from inside another fish.

This moment underscores how every tag tells a story and why your participation matters.

Anglers, captains, and tournaments: start tagging today.

When BTT announced that the late Captain Jose Wejebe would receive the 2026 Curt Gowdy Memorial Award, his daughter Krissy Wejebe shared that it was a fitting tribute to her father:

"Jose lived conservation long before it became a talking point. He loved the fish, the flats, and the future—and he taught reverence through example. This recognition matters because it reinforces something important: Jose didn’t just entertain us. He elevated the standard. Honoring his legacy means continuing to do the same."

Join us on April 16 at BTT's 13th Annual Florida Keys Dinner, where Wejebe will be inducted into the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust Circle of Honor. For tickets, visit https://www.bonefishtarpontrust.org/btt-events/13th-annual-florida-keys-dinner-circle-of-honor-inductions/.
