Los Sueños 2021 Signature Triple Crown competitors complete Leg II
As the fishing tournament season moves forward, we are excited to announce the winners of Leg II of the 2021 Los Sueños Signature Triple Crown - in full swing, as usual, despite COVID-19 social distancing measures.
Of course, a few exceptions have been made to the usual party atmosphere here at Los Sueños Resort & Marina. Awards are presented at the winners’ boats, rather than in a big ceremony and much is being handled virtually.
The Los Sueños Signature Triple Crown takes place each year as it has since 2004- everyone loves it and this year is no exception.
After almost 20 years, this phenomenal billfish tournament event has become one of the most highly competitive tournaments in the world, and continues to draw professional angler teams from across the globe.
Los Sueños’ fishing is quite exceptional. Between the warm Costa Rica weather and the calm blue waters off of Central America’s beautiful Costa Rica shoreline, you can’t pick a better place for an exciting fishing adventure.
When the incredible fishing comes together with the green rainforest backdrop of the luxuriously master-planned Los Sueños Resort and Marina, it’s an experience that can’t be beat.
Attracting angler teams from all over the world, this year’s Signature Triple Crown Billfish Series event hosted 38 teams, each participating in a grand contest to win prizes totaling well over $100,000.
It all starts with the Ladies Only tournament...

The Ladies Only tournament results are in and boy oh boy are they impressive.
