Tres Arroyos Fishing Classic Crowns Gago as Video Leads to Runner-Up Disqualification

The organizing club says the ruling followed the rulebook to protect fairness in a 5,700-angler event.

Overview

  • Leandro Gabriel Gago won the 64th Las 24 Horas de la Corvina Negra with a 2.853 kg corvina negra taken at 01:26 in La Zaranda, earning a new 4x4 pickup.
  • Club Cazadores cites video and a witness indicating Fabián Espíndola’s fish was lifted from the rocks with a prohibited net, resulting in the piece being voided under the rules.
  • Espíndola, from Bahía Blanca, had provisionally placed second with a roughly 2.5 kg catch and later called the decision a “disgrace” on social media.
  • With the disqualification applied to the fish, the final podium places went to Martín Fauret (2.486 kg) in second and Martín Testa (2.323 kg) in third.
  • Organizers report about 5,700 entrants across a 43-kilometer coastal field, with municipal and provincial authorities assisting in security and operations.
