Experience and Teamwork Paid Off Big in the British Virgin Islands

Team Mon Chari, fishing aboard a Louisiana-based 68-foot American Custom Yacht, led by owner Damon Chouest with Capt. Matt Coppoletta and teammates Dustin Pinckney, Davon Laurent and Jorge Moore, has been fishing the North Drop for many years. Their experience and teamwork produced amazing results in the Scrub Island Invitational Billfish Series, hosted by Scrub Island Resort and Marina in the heart of the stunningly beautiful British Virgin Islands.

Mon Chari won both legs to take the overall series championship, scoring 9,000 points from 22 billfish releases, including 17 blue marlin, three sailfish, one white marlin and one spearfish over the six days of fishing. Mon Chari earned $90,150 for their accomplishments; angler Damon Chouest won top angler awards and received the Bodo Muche stainless steel series trophy, King Sailfish Mount trophies, Yeti coolers, Costa sunglasses, Carey Chen artwork, Papa’s Pilar rum and an invitation to the 2023 Costa Offshore World Championship.
