Weather was great, bathtub-like seas, 28 boats, 69 lady anglers, and many fans & supporters made this another great tournament, though fish were scattered & few. But fun abounded. (See Stuart Sailfish Club Pictures for an album of 185 pictures.)
A few dolphin and kingfish weighed in, and a cobia...no wahoo. One sail couldn't escape the fight put up by Rachelle Creech. Mandy Price caught the only cobia and the heaviest kingfish. (Where were those catagories for bonita and amberjack?)
