The Inaugural Bull and Cow a Smash Hit

by Cal Sutphin

First-year event. Eighty-five boats. Three-hundred seventy-one anglers. Two days of fishing. $10,000. In Marathon.

Something just looks a little strange there. It could be the Marathon part.

The Middle Keys are not particularly known for hosting mega-tournaments. Or it could be 371 anglers participating in a first-year tournament. Most tournament organizers will tell you that to get to those numbers, you must think decades, not months. Read More>>

Word On the Street

Cal Sutphin Keys TV/Radio Host

"When I first heard about the Bull & Cow, I thought to myself, "Not another dolphin tournament!" When I witnessed the buzz the week prior, I realized something special was going on. In a town like Marathon that historically has not been the model for large tournaments, the Bull & Cow fielded 371 anglers. That alone makes this tournament an "Instant Classic".

“This is just awesome. I haven't seen this type of summertime excitement for a tournament since the old Dolphin Dash days of the '70s, I'm stretching my imagination thinking of a tournament that is larger than this ever held here in Marathon.”

Marathon City Mgr. Mike Puto
