If interest in tournament fishing is waning, organizers in Bimini might have found the perfect bait to lure more participants: Playboy playmates.
The Bimini Big Game Club's recent Wahoo Smackdown was successful, at least from a fun standpoint, largely because of the presence of Shawn Dillon, Miss February 2013, as hostess.
Next up is the Billfish Bonanza, which will feature a meet-and-greet with Shelby Chesnes, Miss July 2012 (pictured at right).
The Bonanza is scheduled May 15-18, and teams are shelling out $1,450 per boat.
Said Big Game Club GM Michael Weber in the online publication, FishTrack: "Fishing and Playboy just seem to be great combination. And Bimini is the perfect scenic backdrop that completes the picture."
A little research reveals that Chesnes, 21, is from Jupiter, Fla., She's a minnow of a girl, standing 5 feet 3 and weighing just 100 pounds. Her measurements, for those who are interested, are 34c-25-34.
Presumably, she'll stick around the waterfront for the entire three days of the tournament, representing a sight for sore eyes for those who get skunked out on the fishing grounds.
