| Ted Glasrud Perpetual Outstanding Junior Angler Award was won by Thatcher Fawcett |
The day started with some early off shore storms causing a 1 hour delay for the start and the lines out time was extended until 2 p.m. With a total of 76 anglers, 31 anglers ages 8 to 18 hung in and fished all morning aboard the Safari I charter boat. Another 45 children fished on private boats. All were participating in The Stuart Sailfish Club’s 37th Junior Angler Tournament out of Sailfish Marina Saturday morning. Most of the boys and girls on the Safari I were from the Florida Sheriffs Youth Camps from around the state for the third year in a row. 6 anglers were from Hobe Sound Scout Troop 888 and 10 children from Lahia House, in Port Salerno, joined in the fun.
Back at Sailfish Marina each fish was weighed, photographed and displayed by the happy anglers. After a BBQ lunch prepared by “Southern Pig and Cattle Company” each angler received the traditional rod and reel from the Club as well as dozens of sports and fishing prizes won in a raffle including 5 bikes! Every angler won something. After lunch the trophies covering offshore and inshore categories were presented. The nearly 40 lb and 3’ high, Ted Glasrud Perpetual Outstanding Junior Angler trophy was won by Thatcher Fawcett as the Club Junior angler with a 38# Amber Jack. Diana Johnson of Port Salerno won the Yamaha motor donated by Manatee Marina.
