2006 NC Governor's Cup Final Standings

The NC Governor's Cup, an annual series of seven major billfish tournaments held along the North Carolina coast, is now finished for 2006 and final standings have been compiled. The Frequent Flyer of Morehead City ended the series with a dominating win and tallied 3275 points for the year, 825 points ahead of the second place Desperado from Carolina Beach. While they only finished 6th overall, the Job Site of Morehead City did manage to win the circle hook division by a narrow margin. In all, 56 participants caught 227 billfish this year including 47 Blue Marlin, 103 White Marlin, and 77 Sailfish. As the primary purpose of the tournament series is to raise awareness for billfish conservation, 98% of all the billfish landed were released. Now in its 16th year, the Governor's Cup has had 735 participants which have released 1,818 billfish. Complete 2006 standings for the NC Governor's Cup have just been updated in our tournament section. Our congratulations go out to Frequent Flyer owner Gary Joyner and captain Glynn Loftin for their outstanding year.
