TAG 'EM WINS IFC DOLPHIN 2001
Takes home $25,000 winner take all prize!
Islamorada, FL-- Despite a rainy start,
the day turned sunny for the Tag 'Em fishing team June 7, winning the
Islamorada Fishing Club's Dolphin 2001. The highly competitive field of 25
boats was dominated by anglers Terry Caulder and Rusty McClam with Captain
Greg Pope and Mate Matt Grynewicz taking top honors with 88.34 pounds of
fish--the combined weight of three Dolphin, as well as the largest fish
caught at 36.92 pounds.
The winning catch set a new record for
the IFC event, beating out the father son Joe Roth team, last year's
winners with 82.54 pounds of fish. Everyone was sure at least one 40
pounder would be weighed, especially since Capt. Skip Bradeen on the Blue
Chip Too had boated a 45 pounder the day before the IFC tourney. But it
wasn't to be and the 36.92 catch was the biggest fish of the day.
Second place honors went to anglers
Jeff Parish and Campbell Kreps, fishing aboard the Relentless with Captain
Paul Ross, with a 75.68 pound catch. Third place went to anglers Mike
Myers and Reinaldo Diaz fishing aboard Sandy Cove with Captain Brett
Wilson and Mate Ben Ekblom with a very respectable catch of 74.86 pounds.
Contender Boats and Yamaha Outboards
were the primary sponsors of the event with associate sponsors including
Homestead Gas, Ivory International and Regan Insurance, as well as
American Specialty Company, caribee Boat Sales, Cheeca Lodge, Hawk
Associates, Hooked on Books, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Mull and
Associates, PA, Plano, Clear Channel Broadcasting (Easy 96, Sun 103 and
Thunder 100), TIB Bank of the Keys and VillageSun.com.
Now in its third year, the IFC Triple
Crown Series continues to grow in popularity. Next year, the series will
go all offshore, with Sailfish,
Kingfish and Dolphin. The Club has already received entries for the
Sailfish 2002 scheduled for January. For more information contact Club
