Party Boat Angler contest winner doormats and limits

[captain george angler]

Three of the last five days have seen great fluking on the Angler and the other two days have been OK. Four doormats in three days with a lot of limits.

Today started off will Tom Karg from Millington catching a couple of keepers with the biggest around 8 pounds. His brother bill then lands a real beauty that tapped 29 3/4 inches . It was over 10# on the Boga looking like the winner in our big pool. A fluke over 10 pounds gets 1/2 the pool up till Labor Day. A little while later Jack Tamburello lands another beauty that tapped 27 3/4 but was very fat.

Jacks fish was heavier scaling 10 # 8 oz. and winning $1710 plus the daily pool.

Contest restarts tomorrow with the other $1710 and no one in it. Bring down your $10.

I know Condo Bob limited and some others may have. Bait has been best.


7:00 AM first boat out. We sail early so you can catch more fish and the results are there.

No Galley till Friday.

Thanks Captain George

More Fluke

With no fish in the fight and really just asking out of curiosity

If the rules are any fish over 10 pounds gets 1/2 the pool why didn't the first fish win $1,710 and the 2nd $855 with the other $855 rolling over?

I know getting 2 tens in one day with both being in the pool is very rare so it seems that would be fair

Might be wrong here but I think in the case of the 50% pool it's the biggest fish over ten pounds on that trip... In other words, there can be only one 50% winner per trip.

BTW I'm pretty sure the rules are posted in the cabin

[olbarneybasser]

I had the same thought or question as Taxman on this one

[jiocg1181]

The rules are if two people catch a ten plus on the trip the larger of the two gets 1/2 of the prize money. In that instance it works the same as the daily pool. Largest fish takes it.

Some real nice fish!

We have had this happen before and have it in the rules that the biggest wins. I did give Billy a free trip next time. Captain George
