After five years, the last piece of the championship puzzle is in place.

The Venezuelan International "Grand Slam" Billfish Tournament finally has a beautiful venue to call home. We are honored to have the elegant ­ five star - Hotel Ole Caribe as our new official host resort.

Now the "Grand Slam' Tournament will have the world-class hotel to compliment the world-class billfishing and anglers who troll on and around Venezuela's famous "La Guaira Bank".

A wonderful tournament is planned this year.

I know with the help of the Hotel Ole Caribe's General Manager,

Mr. Francisco Jimenez Bravo, we will live up to our own high expectations, to produce and provide the finest all-release billfish tournament fished anywhere in the world!

Join us in October and see for yourself.

Sincerely,

Richard Gibson

Tournament Director
