Prize-Winners and Fish at the Fujairah Fishing Competition 2010

Family Fun Day
It was a productive day at Fujairah’s Fishing Competition yesterday (26 November 2010).

Addressing contestants and their supporters at the prize giving ceremony Major Ahmed Ebraheim Alblooshi said, “This is primarily a family fun day out which is more important than who wins the competition.”

The water conditions were calm and contestants returned contented after a great day on the Fujairah seas. Two boats did not return at the appointed time—obviously they were enjoying things so much that they gave the weigh-in and award ceremony a miss.

Here are the winners according to the various categories, as given by the FIMC Organizing Committee:

Heaviest Fish
1st Chris Brand
2nd Andrew Ross
3rd John Fish

Longest Fish
