Just like Thursday's Captain's Meeting, the weigh in on Saturday was great. Almost all the boats that were entered in the tournament weighed fish. Mike Alstott & the McKenna Family (the winning bidder)decided to fish inshore so they took a Hydra-Sports 23 Bay Bolt & hit the flats. Although they didn't place in the top three, it was a memorable day. The winning inshore team was Ian Dougherty & crew who came in with a 54 lb. cobia as part of their haul. On the offshore side, the James Gang beat out Mike DeOliveria's team with some nice size grouper, snapper & amberjack. The ladies winners were Brittany Kelling & Jean Gifford and the youth division winners were Parker Ferris and Karissa Cobb. Karissa and her dad Kelvin also took home the family division award. Everyone had a good time and as the saying goes "A bad day fishing on a boat is better than a good day at the office". Thunder Marine thanks all the anglers, spectators, sponsors and volunteers who helped make this event a success. We will be proudly presenting a check for $16,000 to the Mike Alstott Family Foundation next Saturday after the Old Salt's Kid Fishing Tournament at the Pier. We hope you can join us.
