Congrats to all! Beto the man.Not mentioned but Harry and Inta throw this event for the locals each year. Toddy
Sounds like a great party! And of course Beto won Mate of the Year!!! Hopefully we can come next year. Maybe there can be a new category like Best New Fisherman and Niko will get nominated!
Beto…congratulations on the award. You’re “right on the money”. There is a surprise package that is going in the mail tomorrow (Fri, April 29) and headed to you at the address you provided by email. I have no idea how long it takes for a package to get from the USA to Golfito…but the surprise is headed your way. Another will be headed that way shortly, for next year’s action…Skip
Congratulations to Beto! It’s great to be recognized by your peers! I am very excited that I got to crank in one of those marlin. Let’s go for two years in a row! Bob.
