2010 TYD Tournament
After a false start, the 2010 Beyond The Breakwater TYD Tournament was held on September 11, 2010. Ten contestants in four teams fished the offshore waters surrounding San Diego and northern Baja California. Thanks to the coldest summer in 75 years, fishing was tough, but a few fish were hooked, and two outstanding fish were landed.
