Six tagging events helping to deploy 23 satellite tags in blue and black marlin in three oceans. A total of 11,484 nautical miles (nm) have thus far been tracked from the tags on these majestic game fish, but one tag alone accounts for 41% of that distance - that which belonged to team Texas-Scot Connection, sponsored by Trevor Somny, Bruce McKee, and Bill Crawford during the Club Nautico de San Juan 58th Annual Billfish Tournament that was held in Puerto Rico September 5-11, 2011. Traversing the Atlantic Ocean and covering 4,776 nm, this tag, placed in a 260 kg (575-pound) blue marlin, has officially won the first year of the IGMR. It also represents the longest track ever recorded from an electronic tag in a marlin.
