SISA Tournament

John was not in the fishing tournament today...but he wanted to go down and see what was happening at the weigh-in. Plus we had a $50.00 gift card from Captain Hiram's...so we could get a bite to eat in the process.
Things were winding down when we arrived...but we noticed our friend Mike's boat on the board - DEAMBRICO with the 2nd place King fish.
We also saw Al (Longdogger's Al) from the Johnny H20 with the 3rd place dolphin....eventually he was bumped up to 2nd when the 2nd place winners were disqualified for not weighing in on time.
They told us they got caught in a terrible storm while offshore...50 mile an hour wind gusts...pouring rain and LOTS of lightning. NO THANKS! I guess it didn't seem so bad when they realized they had won some $$$$$!
Meanwhile Ron & Ben were still out on the water getting towed in by Boat Tow-USA...and the Coast Guard. They had engine trouble, got caught in the same storms AND lost a couple of fish! Needless to say...they did not have a good day! Oh well.....some day it will all make a good fish story.
Courtney was smiling because not only did they place 2nd in the SISA tournament...the same fish got second in the Strike Zone tournamnet going on up the river a bit. (SISA was postponed from two weeks earlier...decided participants could enter both on the same day...so the king fish won 2nd place (we think) in both tournaments! Not bad. Courtney was also smiling because they also won their bet with Al...for biggest fish. (They beat him last year too) and last but not least...she was smiling because we offered her a ride home (in the car) with us...so she wouldn't have to go by boat through more storms still in the area. :)
