Congratulations (again) to SSC Member Lorraine Francis for winning the International Women's Fishing Association (IWFA) Kay Rybovich Trophy for catching and releasing the greatest number of species for the year, 2012. Count 38! This is the 2nd time for her. She has also been the winner of the Ginny Sherwood trophy for accumulating the most weight points for a year. The Kay Rybovich, along with the Crowninshield and Sherwood trophies are to honor the members who founded the IWFA in 1955.
You may recall we reported on Lorraine in February, 2010 for taking 1st place honors at the 2010 International Women's Billfish Tournament in Guatemala. Lorraine caught 21 pacific sailfish. She also was High Angler on day 2 releasing 10 sails. On day 3 she caught 8 fish on "Rum Line", formerly the "Outlaw" from Stuart.
Again, congratulations, Lorraine. Your represent yourself well and we are proud to recognize you as a member of the Stuart Sailfish Club and call you our friend.
