Congratulations to Team Reactor watch. They pulled off a last minute upset by pulling in a 135 lb tarpon, in the final minutes of the Ladies Day competition at the Miller High Life Professional Tarpon Tournament Series in Boca Grande Pass Florida.
To reel in the prize, Team Reactor and the other teams battled high winds, murky water and even sharks, yikes!
We know the Reactor tag line is "the best built sport watch, period." Once again they live up to the claim.
A 134-pound tarpon catch was in the the lead, but with only 10 minutes left in regulation time, Capt. Jay Wither's Team Reactor Watch radioed in with a hook up.
Within 20 minutes, Team Reactor Watch landed the fish and headed for the Ale House weighboat. The fish tipped the Tires Plus scale at 135 pounds.
"It was awesome!" Team Reactor Captain Jay Withers said. "The girls did a great job hooking and fighting the fish. The teamwork was unbeatable."
With the victory, Team Reactor received first prize of $10,000. Second place went to Team Sign Zoo/GiantTarpon.com, who received $5,000. Team CaptainWillBurbach.com, Yamaha F350, and MyEls.com finished 3rd, 4th, and 5th, respectively.
The Miller High Life PTTS presented by Century Boats is the largest and richest live-release tarpon tournament in the world, featuring five regular season events and one championship event all held in Boca Grande Pass, Fla.
My personal sports preference doesn't include exposing my my watch to 135 pound writhing objects and scrubbing fish scales out of my Reactor links, but I know Reactor watches sure can take it. Of course, you can shop Princeton Watches for a complete selection of Reactor watches, and get free shipping and a free Reactor Pen, good while supplies last.
So cool
