Queen K worth $10K for Magallanes
By Jim Rizzuto Monday, July 5, 2010 7:01 AM HST
After a year of dominance in monthly fishing
tournaments, David Magallanes won the Queen K. Tesoro Cup with its $10,000
cash award.
David led from start to finish. He persevered through
18 sanctioned tournaments and against 208 other teams at some time or
other.
David's final test was the Wee Guys Tournament on June 26
and 27. He had a comfortable lead over his closest rivals, Mike Oshiro and
Kenny Fogarty. Mike and Kenny are both outstanding fishermen, so David had
to score points in the Wee Guys to hang on.
Mike made it very difficult by winning the Wee
Guys ahi division. But David placed second in the mahimahi division to
close the door, according to Capt. Al Gustavson, owner of Queen K. Tesoro.
Al runs the monthly Dirty Dozen fishing tournaments and established
the Queen K. Tesoro Cup as a boost for the small boat fleet and a draw for
the dozen Dirty Dozen events. The DD competitions now average 25 boats,
and Al hopes to see them grow to 30 or more.
"I don't think there
is another competition like this one in the world for boats under 25
feet," Al said.
The Queen K Cup and its $10,000 prize has had a
significant effect on other tournaments in the series besides the Dirty
Dozen.
"The Wee Guys Tourney, of which we are the major sponsor
($10,000), went to the next level when we awarded the Cup Series to Dave,"
Al said.The 2011 Queen K Tesoro
Cup Series starts on Aug. 7 with the Queen K Tesoro Dirty Dozen hosted at
the Bite Me Fish Market. The Weigh-ins and bragging location will be at
the Fish Market Restaurant from now on, Al said. Sign-ups will be at Queen
K Tesoro before the tourney day and at Bite Me Fish Market from 6 a.m. to
8 a.m. on the day of tourney.
The top ten finishers in the Queen K
Tesoro Cup with boat names, team captains and final point totals were:
1. Kona Pearl II, David Magallanes, 1,243 pts. 2. Krista O, Mike
Oshiro, 958. 3. Makana Lani, Kenny Fogerty, 675. 4. Hei Mana, Gary
