On the very first day, the boat Nakupenda landed an impressive 115,1 kg tuna, immediately setting a formidable benchmark for the rest of the fleet. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite excellent fishing conditions on the subsequent day, including calm seas and abundant tuna, no-one could surpass the day 1 monster catch.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the boats returned to shore on the final day, the scales closed, confirming Nakupenda&#8217;s initial catch as the winning fish. The spirit of camaraderie remained strong throughout the week, culminating in a celebratory prize-giving ceremony on Friday 2 May, where top anglers and teams were recognised.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GBBAC deemed the 2025 Airmar Offshore Classic a resounding success, highlighting the enthusiasm and competitive spirit of the anglers. Organisers are looking forward to building on this year&#8217;s achievements for the 2026 edition of the popular offshore fishing event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/18e827ed-cc58-44cf-b_54781.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Team Bad Romanzz finished in second place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cd93d73a-2637-4cc5-a_54761.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Team Maverick were all smiles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/71fdcd32-526e-4671-8_54865.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members of the team Gotcha.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"156352\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/airmar-offshore-classic-hailed\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;The overall winners of the 2025 Offshore Classic, fishing from the boat Nakupenda, pictured from left is Wilana Oosthuizen (sponsor), Warren Wood (angler), Mickayla Language (angler), Grant Crighton (sponsor), Jomari Groenewald, George Language (angler) and  Michael Language (angler).&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The overall winners of the 2025 Offshore Classic, fishing from the boat Nakupenda, pictured from left is Wilana Oosthuizen (sponsor), Warren Wood (angler), Mickayla Language (angler), Grant Crighton (sponsor), Jomari Groenewald, George Language (angler) and  Michael Language (angler).&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a3da326e-cb88-41a2-a_54717.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The overall winners of the 2025 Offshore Classic, fishing from the boat Nakupenda, pictured from left is Wilana Oosthuizen (sponsor), Warren Wood (angler), Mickayla Language (angler), Grant Crighton (sponsor), Jomari Groenewald, George Language (angler) and  Michael Language (angler).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gordon&#8217;s Bay Boat and Angling Club (GBBAC) has hailed the 2025 Airmar Offshore Classic, held from Saturday 26 April to Friday 2 May, as a resounding triumph.
