As a Canadian living in the province of Ontario, I’m pretty far removed from the saltwater fishing scene. I certainly know my way around a bass boat, and have fished plenty of freshwater tournaments back in the day, but will sheepishly admit that billfish and the Caribbean Sea are certainly not my strong suits.
So you can imagine my intrigue and delight when I was invited this October to visit the Dominican Republic, and more specifically the region of Cap Cana, to attend and take part in the 2025 Cap Cana Classic and its 21st International Billfish Tournament, running October 10th and 11th.
The Cap Cana Classic International Billfish Tournament is a prestigious event that focuses on friendship and family, exemplifies sportsmanship and skill, and brings together a cast of international saltwater anglers with a passion for catching the mighty blue marlin.
