Spiced Rum III Wins

By Bill Wummer - Team Spiced Rum III

The Spiced Rum III Fishing Team fished the AGC Contractor’s Tournament, and came in 1st Place, Big Fish. We started out fishing off Juno Beach in about 120ft of water and we caught 4 kingfish up to 20lbs and had a few get eaten by sharks. I talked with my close friend Alex from Seapremacy Fishing Charters, and he told me he had got a good fish at Loran Tower, so we decided to run up there. When we got there, we fished for about an hour and caught a 30lb kingfish on our Cannon Downrigger. We kept fishing and about an hour later the top line went off with a goggle eye on it and the fish took off. We chased it down and gaffed the fish within 5 minutes and luckily, we did because there were sharks around. The next fish we had on got sharked within 2 minutes.

Our winning fish was a 36.4lb king. We also took overall Top Aggregate of 129lbs for 5 kingfish. We could not do this without help from our Cannon Downrigger by always putting us to the depths to catch the fish, and Solix G3 from Humminbird Electronics for keeping us on our marks and finding the fish with our down and side imaging. Thank you so much for all you do for our team.
