2012 Billfish Release Board

 

Welcome to the most comprehensive listing of SoCal billfish releases available anywhere. Our goal is to highlight every marlin, swordfish or spearfish released by the local sportfishing community. If you are the angler or captain for a billfish release, use our Release Submission Form to get your release listed. You can also file a Trip Report, as we harvest the releases from the reports as well.

$$$ - indicates angler won the prize drawing.
