Cabo San Lucas (Mexico)

Where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, Cabo's warm waters host the densest population of billfish on Earth. Striped marlin are so abundant that 20-fish days are documented. The annual Bisbee's Black & Blue tournament offers over $4 million in prize money — the largest payout in sportfishing. Cabo is where serious offshore anglers go when they want guaranteed action with world-class marlin, dorado, and roosterfish.
