If you thought nothing goes on in August in Los Cabos, you are mistaken. Mercedes-Benz held a golf tournament at Puerto Los Cabos and the Yellow Fin Tuna are running within 3 miles of shore — making for incredible fishing.
The Golf Tournament featured over 70 golfers, all playing to win the Mercedes Trophy, which qualifies them to play in Cancun in September. The winner in Cancun will then go on to play in Stuttgart, Germany for the Mercedes Trophy World Finals.
When it was over, Mike Miller of Team Snell, beat the rest of the field with a Par 73 and team member Greg Filardi placed 3rd overall. Fellow Team Snell players, Chris Snell and Andy Lemke, were credited with moral support and showing Mike and Greg where “not to drive” and how “not to putt.”

The next morning, Team Snell boarded the ADIOS out of Club Ninety Six in Palmilla and by 11:00 am they had landed 4 monster yellow fin tuna. Mike battled his 150 lb. tuna for 1 hour and 45 minutes before finally landing his first ever tuna weighing over 100 lbs…..
“Where else in the world can you catch huge tuna while looking at the golf course where you just won the Mercedes-Benz Trophy?” Mike said. “There is no place like Cabo and that is why I love to live here.”

Mike is now off to an all expenses paid trip to the Moon Palace in Cancun in September to play in the Mercedes Trophy Finals, in hopes to qualify for the Mercedes Trophy World Finals in Stuttgart, Germany.
The Mercedes-Benz Trophy Golf Tournament is hosted by Mercedes-Benz in over 45 countries. The Tournament is for amateur golfers and over 60,000 players tee-off each year in hopes of qualifying to play in the World Finals in Stuttgart, Germany.
Congratulations to Mike for winning the Mercedes Trophy and for catching his first yellow fin tuna weighing over 100 lbs.. What a weekend!
Best of luck in Cancun and we hope to see you in Stuttgart.
