Tournament #5 Recap

What a weekend it was for fishing! With serious doubt if the weather would cooperate or not, tournament #5 turned out to be beautiful weather. The anglers going out on Saturday were rewarded with multiple billfish per boat. 


Pulling in at 7:45 pm Saturday evening, the Aly Gator & Wired Up had a lot to celebrate. Wired Up released six sailfish and one white. Ashleigh Pundt reeled in three of those sails and the white, while anglers AJ Hecker and Lan Ingram reeled in the rest. Aboard the Aly Gator junior Marlin Johnson released two white, Aly Gerloff & Gary Edwards released one more white each, totaling four white marlin for the boat. 


The Fin Stalker released two sailfish (caught by Laurie Soechting & Claudette Jordan) and one white marlin. Laurie also weighed in a dolphin at 21.25 lbs. which put her in second place in that division. 


Todd Hester made a solo trip aboard the Double Trouble and it paid off! Todd released the only blue of this tournament. He also released two sailfish. 


The Wildcatter gang reeled in three sailfish with D.A. Hughes III & Matt Jones on the rods. D.A. also weighed in a wahoo at 13.6 lbs. which landed him at third place in that category. 


Fishin Impossible and Tico Time also released one sailfish each.
