Well, Curt Whiticar turned 100 yesterday, and an estimated 400 people turned out at Indian Riverside Park to help him celebrate. Quite a tribute.
.
Curt was named Honorary SSC Membership for his many years of service and support to the Club and the fishing industry in the Stuart area. Curt is credited for being a leader in promoting sailfish release. He designed the coveted gold SSC sailfish release pin and certificate for releases in the 1940's. Father Add, Curt, and brothers Johnson and Jack were early captains of the Whiticar fleet which fished early tournaments in the 1930's, '40's and '50's and thereafter. Whiticar boats built by Curt and Whiticar Boat Works still fish in the tournaments today.
