With 39 boat captains registered and 24 boats returning to the dock for weigh-in, the eighth annual SJBC Fishing Tournament landed a prize winner.
The tournament, presented by Sterling Specialties, began with the captains’ meeting at the Northeast Florida Marlin Association on Friday evening.
Following a full day of angling competition, fun, games and excitement, the winners took home prizes and cash awards.
The Prime Lending boat took the triple challenge: the total heaviest of all three species weighed in.
This is a difficult category because not everyone catches all three. Voradet Thepsovanh of Prime Lending also won the 65-quart Yeti Cooler.
Proceeds benefit Home Again, a nonprofit in St. Johns County committed to alleviating the challenges facing the homeless population, including funding a service center to provide housing, food and assistance to help the homeless become reintegrated into society.
