First of all there is a lot of thank you’s that need to be said. The first one goes to my wife holly and my kids because with out their support I could not do what I do for a living. The next is to the owners of Chesapeake Angler Magazine Karen Jett and Laura Kelly for believing in me to get to job done. Some times the job is delivering magazine to a show or to a tackle shop the next could be go find the “Big Fish” in a tournament. I truly thankful for them picking me to be their Captain of the Chesapeake Angler Magazine fishing team. The next thank you goes to all who fish with me on the team. You guys make might my job a lot easier. Every one understands that Tournament fishing is a team sport. There is many that support our team even when there are not on the boat fishing. Our sponsors play major part in providing resources to compete at a higher level though out the tournament trail. The next is friends and fellow Competitors that share fishing info though out the tournament trail. It is not always your weekend to catch the winning fish but it was for us this past weekend in the 5th annual Mid-Atlantic Rockfish Shootout.
With in the first ten minutes on day two of the tournament we had a 56.2 lbs Rockfish in the tournament Bag. It only took a little while to place add another 37+plus lbs into the tournament Bag. The official time was 1:51pm when we landed the third fish 43+plus lbs. This was enough to place us on top of leader Board at 137.4lbs
Good Friends Capt David Nova and Greg Nunn both had me very scared of losing our lead on day three of tournament with a great three fish stringer of 131.40 lbs and131.04 lbs. It was a leader Board full of great friends and Top Notch Anglers and unbelievable Weekend of Fishing!
As always it was Great tournament. Mike Standing and crew a “Big Thumbs UP”!
Thanks Again Everybody!!!
