For the 14th year in a row, boats have cruised into Oualie Beach in hopes of capturing the title of "Champion" of the Nevis Fishing Tournament. Fisherman travel from as far as St. Croix and St. Maarten just for this event. This year, the Black Fin boat, manned by local Nevisian fisherman, hauled in over 600lbs of assorted fish, including Wahoo, Tuna, King and Dolphin fish to earn the title of Champion. The Black Fin fisherman also managed to bring in a 5 1/2 foot long Reef Shark.
Submerging myself into the local culture by attending events such as this tournament is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of living in the Caribbean.

It wouldn't be a true Nevisian event without Carib and BBQ
