Scoring System 2022
The Showdown Crown is the most prestigious title in competitive meat fishing. The scoring format assigns a score based on where a team finishes in each tournament. A linear scoring system emphasizes performance and consistency, the benchmark of a true champion in any sport. And to the victor, goes the spoils, a custom set of Superbowl style championship rings. The scoring format for the series is as follows: 1ST place

The patented SeaVee Z cross-ventilated hull design with SpeedRail® technology is a game changer. Better fuel efficiency means you can go further, fish longer and save money at the pump. The SpeedRails improve handling and ensure the boat tracks accurately during hard turns. And the chines direct water down and away from the boat, resulting in a dry ride even in choppy conditions.

Showdown Champions
Tax Relief As we were getting ready for the 2021 Bluewater Movements Summer Series, we were coming off our most consistent summer yet. So with high hopes a team member said, “We could win the rings this year.” Clearly, that was the right mindset; however, Tax Relief’s best finish in a single tournament was 4th back in the 2016 Showdown. In these tournaments, you compete against the best fishing teams and captains in South Florida that are on the water day in and day out. So, heading into the Shootout last May, I suggested let’s focus on a “tournament win.” The Shootout morning bite was very slow; we came across a few dolphin which kept our spirits up. But after a few hours, we still had not found a king that would weigh. With time up against us now, we knew we had to make a move. Fish had to be hitting the deck somewhere with a hundred boats fishing. Yet, after switching spots, we still
had not caught a 10 lb. king. By now, it was almost 11am and we were thinking about moving again. Finally, a line went off and we knew this one was a good one. Twenty minutes into the fight, we finally got our first glimpse of the fish and saw it was a big king, but there was a shark right behind it. We quickly dumped the reel in free-spool to let the king outrun the shark. Chasing down the fish, a full team effort put the king on the deck. When the fish hit the deck, we knew we had a chance at the tournament’s biggest fish and potentially the ‘Pick 3’ since we only needed a tuna now. So we picked up again, and headed off to Palm Beach where we knew tunas had been caught earlier in the week. Not more than ten minutes into our first drift, we caught a nice tuna. Then the bite slowed as we watched other boats start to leave the area. We decided to make one last drift before heading south. But, on the Continued on page 10 www.bluewatermovements.com

Showdown Champions next drift, we landed a 25 lb. king. We were staying. Our emotions had completely changed from the morning and fishing was easier now. The next couple drifts during the afternoon produced two more nice kings and a tuna, the bite had turned on. With ten weighable fish in the box we moved south looking for an upgrade in the last couple of hours. At the scales, we thought we had a shot at it all but didn’t realize we had 235 lbs. in the box. With our first win in the books, the mentality of the team changed from we ‘could’ to we ‘can’ win the rings this year. In the Slam, we missed a few more fish than we would have liked. However with a top ten finish, we were still in the hunt. Now sitting in 2nd overall and only two points behind the top team heading into the final leg, the Showdown. We had never been this close before with a real shot at winning the crown. In August we weighed in 114.3 lbs., four kings and two tunas, but were still one point behind in the crown standings. Now, our only hope was having a boat weigh in between us, and the top team that had weighed in just below us with 108.8 lbs. As more and more boats weighed in, we still sat one point behind in the Showdown Crown standings. The phone rang and suddenly our emotions changed. The last team to weigh in weighed 0.7 lbs. less than us, putting us into a tie for the Showdown Crown. That was all we needed. We won the Bubba_SummerSeries_Magazine.pdf 1 3/12/2021 4:28:43 PM

tie-breaker by total weight across the three legs with 458.7 lbs. which ended up being a new series record. Our team’s take away from 2021 is “You’re always just one fish away.” Looking back on our season, the series changing fish was the first kingfish of the season. The 53.8 lbs. kingfish not only was the biggest fish of the Shootout, but gave us the needed weight to win the tie-breaker in the Showdown Crown. We are so fortunate to have a great team that is passionate about fishing. Billy, Blake, Francis, Jacob, Luke, Mac and Troy thank you for making it happen. Looking forward to this year’s series and the years to come! Catch ‘em Up, Marty Kidwell

“We found the special needs programs in the Broward Public School System to be severely under-resourced and we were able to work with 6 schools to provide the resources needed to provide the proper technology, tools, toys, and environment for the kids to thrive. We also found this to increase the morale of the staff as well give peace to the parents dropping their children off daily. We also made some dreams come true by giving people their wish lists for the holidays.” – Tony Davis 22 www.bluewatermovements.com

In addition to winning the KDW, they also finished in Third Place (188.5lb), Second Place Wahoo (14.2), Second Place Bluewater Bonanza and Second Place Ante Up for a grand total of $96,964 which was the second highest check of the tournament! Reel Synergy was the highest earning team and set a new record for the PBSC as the largest payout for a single team! Captain Chip Sheehan put his team on the fish, and big ones at that weighing in 175.7 lb of fish! Finishing in Fifth Place overall, Second Heaviest Kingfish (51.7), Third Place in the Bluewater Bonanza, Third Place in the Big Three, Second Place in Holy Mackerel, and last but certainly not least the Pick 3 Winners for a total pay out of $122,921!

Not only was our 53.8lb kingfish the heaviest of the Shootout, but it gave us the weight needed to win the tie-breaker in the Showdown Crown.” – Martin Kidwell, Tax Relief

Slam Results 2021 Recap Young Guns Wins the 26th Annual Saltwater Slam! 72 boats were rigged up and ready to roll for the 2021 Mercury/SeaVee Saltwater Slam with all eyes on the coveted Showdown Crown title. With COVID-19 regulations and restrictions lifted, the festivities for the Slam kickoff party started to look more like they did before the pandemic and it was easy to see that anglers and fans were excited to be back! The Slam kicked off at the Pompano Beach Civic Center with amazing food by Fort Lauderdale’s own Blue Moon Fish Company and bar hospitality by the South Florida Hooters girls. One of the most notable takeaways from the kick off party was its focus on charity. A ‘Darts for Dollar’s’ fundraiser was in play for tournament charity Mission Fishin’ and the anglers were all in all night long! The unique spin on the traditional carnival balloon game was a hit with the anglers. Their contributions went directly to Mission Fishin’ while anglers had an opportunity to win some really cool prizes from Bass Pro Shops, Bubba Blade, E-Sea-Rider and Clarion Marine just to name a few. The fundraiser raised over $1,800 for Mission Fishin’. When the last fish hit the scales on tournament day, only 3 pounds separated the top 3 overall teams and it would be team Young Guns that came out on top. Their total weight of 158.5lbs would hold on to secure them the title of Saltwater Slam Champions 2021! The Mercury Pro Staff squad started their morning off Jupiter and were able to find their kings, but knew they needed more. So they raced south to the opposite end of the boundary and struck gold with four blackfin tuna to seal the deal and celebrate with a champagne shower on the stage at Sullivan Park with a hefty payday of $18,460! Finishing in second place was three time Showdown Crown Champs, Blue Moon. They weighed in a total of 157.2lbs of fish and snagged a $8,806 payday! However, the biggest payout of the tournament went to team Gator One who finished in third place overall weighing a total of 155lbs of fish, including the Top Kingfish (38.5) and Bluewater Challenge, third place in the Bluewater Bonanza, first place in the Big Three, and first place in Holy Mackerel for a grand total of $19,749!

“As we prepared for the Slam and with new boundary rules in place it was the perfect time to try something never done before. We knew this was going to be a very tight finish with multiple boats having 8 fish to weigh. We were fortunate enough to squeak out another Slam win. My team had an amazing year with some big wins on the road but putting it all together against the best here at home is very special to us!” – Captain Lance Irvine, Young Guns

Showdown Results 2021 Recap
SeaVee Boats Win Top Small Boat of the PBSC Circuit & Claim Third Straight Showdown Crown Title! The third and final leg of the Mercury/SeaVee sponsored Pompano Beach Saltwater Circuit crowned two champions. The tournament which was originally scheduled for August 14th was postponed due to the impending tropical storm. So on August 22nd, 2021 55 boats rounded out the fleet for the last leg of the summer series with a total purse of $96,682 up for grabs. Weighing in 124.8 lbs of fish including a first place tuna (23.6) and tying for second place tuna (20.2) was enough for team Living Water/Makin’ Time to get ahead of the pack and finish in first place overall and earn the title of Saltwater Showdown Champions! Tax Relief won the first leg of the 2021 PBSC, the Shootout in May and were sitting in second place (52 points) for the Showdown Crown going into the Showdown. Seapremacy was in first place with 54 points for the Showdown Crown. Seapremacy brought 108.8 lbs of fish to the scales and Tax Relief weighed 114.3lbs, bringing each team’s total points for the series to 81. For just the second time in the history of the PBSC there was a tie! The tie breaker was determined by total weight for the season. Fishing on board their 39’ Contender, Seapremacy had a total of 420.4 pounds for the season while Tax Relief posted 458.7 pounds on their 34’ SeaVee to claim their first ever Showdown Crown Champions title!! In addition to taking home the coveted crown title, they finished in second place overall, second place in the Bluewater Bonanza, second place in Ante Up for a grand total of $9,344. Lenny’s Luck swept the Small Boat category on their 26’ SeaVee, finishing in first place overall for the series, first place Small Boat Bonanza and Division, ninth place overall and Heaviest Wahoo for a grand total of $4,673. Congratulations to Cheyenne Considine for claiming the Top Female Angler title on board Miss Michelle with 62.7 points. Brother’s Chris Miller and Brian Miller weighed 62.7 pounds to earn the Top Family trophy. In the Pee Wee division, Gracie Johnston earned the Top Pee Wee title with 68.9 pounds on Finsanity II. James Demarco caught one of the heaviest kingfish of the tournament at 38 pounds to earn him the Top Junior Angler title on board Native Son.

“When you pick at fish throughout the day in a tournament and check the box and think to yourself we’re definitely in it, that’s cool too. But, just like 2020 when we picked up a wahoo at the buzzer to take the overall crown, this year was another one of those insane team celebrations in the last hour where everyone is jacked on adrenaline after we picked up the fourth-quarter tunas. It’s something you only experience in team sports and one of the reasons why we love tournament fishing!” Mark Miller - Team Living Water/Makin’ Time
