THE BEACH BUM OUTDOORS SURF FISHING CLASSIC CONTROVERSY. HOW WAS IT RESOLVED?

The Beach Bum Outdoors Surf Fishing Classic was held on the Gulf waters stretching from Gulf Shores, Alabama all the way to St. George Island, Florida. This is roughly 200 miles of surf fishing real estate on the north end of the Gulf of Mexico. 538 anglers registered for the first edition of this tournament, a big number for the first year. Winning anglers would be determined by weighing in each anglers top three Pompano and Whiting catches during the eight week period. Fish would be weighed at five different bait shop locations along the Gulf Coast. It was a fantastic tournament and the prize money was substantial. Pompano payouts were $5000, $2000 and $1000 for the top three spots. Whiting payouts were $2000, $1000 and $500 for the top three anglers in that category. The competition was fierce. The tournament was not without logistical and weigh in issues which is to be expected the first year. This video is my overview of how it all went down from my YouTube Channel The Forgotten Angler.
