Triumph on the High Seas: Our 2017 Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Adventure

In the sun-drenched waters off Los Cabos, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, fishing legends gather annually for the world-renowned Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot. This multithousand-dollar tournament draws elite anglers from across the globe, battling massive Yellow fin fin tuna in a high-stakes test of skill, strategy, and endurance.

In 2017, Exotic team embarked on an exciting journey to compete in the prestigious Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot. After days of intense fishing and friendly competition, our team secured a respectable 9th place finish, showcasing their skills and sportsmanship on the international stage.

Our journey began at dawn on day one, with the boat slicing through glassy seas under a fiery sunrise. Captain Lalo, a Baja veteran with decades of charters under his belt, scanned the horizon for signs of feeding frenzy—boiling water, diving birds, and those telltale dorsal fins. Armed with top-tier gear Shimano, live sardines, and cutting-edge electronics, we trolled relentlessly.

The first big strike came mid-morning: a41 -pound wahoo that tested our mettle for two grueling hours. Lines snapped, hooks pulled, but persistence paid off with a 90-pounder YFT boated by midday. Days blurred into a rhythm of chum slicks, kite fishing, and nighttime glow-stick runs. We dodged storms, outmaneuvered rivals, and celebrated each weigh-in at the bustling marina, where crowds cheered monster fish hoisted onto scales.

Landing 9th among 150 teams wasn't just a placing—it was a testament to teamwork, local knowledge, and the unbeatable thrill of Cabo fishing. Today, our San Jose del Cabo charters invite you to chase your own jackpot. Book now and hook into the adventure!
