Living Water / Makin' Time A Champion’s Story Last year was a wild ride for the Living Water / Makin’ Time team. But, to be completely honest, winning our 2nd Showdown Crown in 2020 was a relatively stress-free victory when compared to 2014, because none of us expected to pull it off last year. Prior to our 1st overall title in 2014, we had been close a few times with several top 3 finishes, but the Showdown Crown had eluded us. The 2014 Crown started with a bang in the Shootout when we broke the overall total weight record for the series with 253 lbs with only 8 fish… 4 solid
kings and 4 nice tunas. We had the lead right out of the gates in 2014 and put a ton of pressure on ourselves to hold that lead wire to wire. When it was all said and done, we finally captured that elusive first Crown while simultaneously getting that giant monkey off our backs! On the other hand, our 2020 Crown felt more like a half-court shot at the buzzer that nobody really expects to make. Realistically, I think most of us thought that Gator One’s lead after the first two legs would put the Crown out of reach for those of us sitting in positions 2-5. But, we all know that fishing is an unpredictable game. In the spring, with COVID raging full steam ahead, the Living Water /Makin’ Time team was stoked to hear that Jamie and the staff at Bluewater Movements were working hard to overcome many obstacles in order to keep the series in play for their anglers. As we all know, once the dust settled, the Shootout was moved to July, so the Slam in June was the first order of business in the series. And, after finishing 3rd in the Slam in 2019 and taking 2nd place in 2015 and 2017, we were hoping to stay consistent in this tournament and start the year off with a solid finish. As always, bait was priority one and pre-fishing priority two! One advantage for us is that we typically fish two boats on pre-fish days and cover different areas, which is what we did in the Slam. Unfortunately, Friday was somewhat slow for both Living Water and Makin’ Time on our Mercury powered 39 and 32 SeaVees. Each boat

only caught a handful of kingfish in the 10-15 lb range fishing from Jupiter to Boca. Come Saturday morning, we had our team meeting to decide where we should fish. We decided to start fishing north of Boynton inlet where we had a few of the kings the day before. We set 3 kites out and a few flat and deep lines and caught a decent tuna and king on the first drift. The bite wasn’t great for us, but we picked at em all day in the same general area. One of the lessons we’ve learned over the years is, “don’t leave fish to find fish”. With that game plan in the Slam, we added another tuna and 4 decent kings from 14-28 lbs. to the box. We ended up with a respectable 6th place finish with 129 lbs. just behind Art and team Native Son who finished 5th. This neck-and-neck battle would become a theme for us over the next two legs as well... against the 5 time Champs. The Shootout, which was moved to July, proved to be the most challenging of the 3 tournaments for us. The storms were raging throughout the day and the electricity in the air was snapping the braid on our kites all day. Fortunately, Kurtis, Chuck and Chris were able to rig a few kites with mono leader and some extra clips so we could keep a few kites up. Fishing was really slow as we picked at snake kings from Boynton to Lake Worth all morning. At about 1:30pm, we only had 1 weigher king and a tuna in the boat and I told the guys to bring in the lines because we had to make the run to Jupiter and take our chances there. The weeds and sharks were thick there the day before but a captain I know called us with a decent mid day report so we made the run.
kingfish. But, it was August, so we decided that it was time to gamble and set our sights on a wahoo. There were only a few caught in the Showdown, but a Captain I know, that wasn’t in the tournament, had caught two near Lake Worth earlier. For some reason, we’ve always managed to do well with the Hoos in the series. And, after pulling off the KDW jackpot in 2019, we liked our chances of finding one in the Showdown.
The first two drifts produced a few decent 20+ lb. kings that we had Unfortunately, when we arrived at Lake Worth, the water was a dirty to wrestle away from sharks. It was a tough day for most teams but green out to 400 ft. and obviously not the color we were looking that move north allowed us to pull off an 11th place and keep us for... so we kept running. A little further south, we noticed really in the hunt for the Crown. We finished one clean blue water north of Boynton near the place ahead of Native Son, who ended old Ritz, so we set up in the clean water up 12th. After the Slam and Shootout, and started praying for stripes! Within 10 Team Name we were tied for 5th overall with Native minutes, Ryan had what would end up Son heading into the Showdown.

After a brief battle, Crew and had a commanding lead after their we saw color, but a large bull shark was incredible start and back-to-back wins. right behind our fish and making his move. We opened the fish box as fast When the Showdown came around, as we could and started tossing Bonita we were missing a few key guys and I to the shark. After feeding the guy in the was buried at work and couldn’t prefish brown suit, Ryan put the heat on the hoo Friday. However, thank the Lord we had and Mike Fishman put a solid gaff shot Steve “Kingfish” Fishman on the job! He in him and put him on ice. At that point, Boat put in the work and found a few kingfish we knew we had a solid bag but, we all just north of Palm Beach inlet Friday looked at each other and said, it’s KDW morning. The kings weren't big, but time! So, we put Ryan and Mike Fishman, Power August is always challenging.

"Our 2020 Crown felt more like a half court shot at the buzzer that nobody really expects to make". in 2nd place in the tournament (this was our third 2nd place in the Showdown tournament). But, we started to hear rumblings that the Showdown Crown was in play for us. We knew that Art and the crew on Native Son finished 3rd right behind us, and that we held a narrow 1 point lead over them in the point standings after being tied going in, but we didn’t know where Gator One had finished yet. Well, shortly after all the final teams weighed in, we got the call from Jamie that we had pulled off the 2020 Showdown Crown victory. We were pumped to pull off our second crown and we’re definitely looking forward to the 2021 season. Last year we made a conscious decision to make sure our team worked just as hard as we always do, but that we also wouldn’t lose sight of the importance of having some fun in the process. There’s

a balance that we try to find, and it can be elusive, but time on the water is a gift and we can’t lose sight of that fact...even in competition. We appreciate every guy on our team and they all play a huge part in any success we experience as a “team”. This series is by far the best spring/summer tournament series in this great state. Special thanks to all the teams that push us to improve every year and to our entire team; Steve “Kingfish” Fishman, , Kurtis “Deep Jig” Schuttler, Chuck “Shockwave” Fischer, Michael “Set the Steel” Fishman, Ryan “The Golden One” Goldman, Chris “The Silent Killer” Fishman, Kenny “BKG” Steinmueller and Mike “Black Hawk” Benson. We also need to thank our incredible sponsors, Seavee Boats, Mercury Marine, Garmin, JL Audio, Custom Rod & Reel and Gov. Ron Desantis for not shutting down our state.

BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS, TEAM GATOR ONE DOES IT AGAIN!
The weather was wet, and the fishing conditions were tough, but that didn’t slow down the 77-boat fleet at the 22nd annual Mercury/SeaVee Saltwater Shootout, July 16-19! Leg 2 of the 2020 Pompano Beach Saltwater Circuit was flip-flopped with the Saltwater Slam from pushing the start of the series back due to the COVID-19 shut down. With fishing deemed one of the few activities to participate in safely these days, the tournament anglers were ready for some good old fashioned competition and that’s just what the Shootout delivered. Over 450 anglers were registered and competed for the $236,747 meat-fishing purse and the tournament was nothing short of action packed! With clever and creative execution, the 2nd leg of the PBSC series was a socialdistancing success! The Saltwater Shootout began the tournament week with the annual Kick-off Party and Captains Meeting hosted at the Pompano Beach Civic Center Thursday, July 16th. As always, the incredible, Blue Moon Fish Co. served anglers menu favorites including oysters on the half shell, peel and eat shrimp, swordfish jambalaya, melt in your mouth prime rib, and more. The remote bars were flowing courtesy of Landshark Lager, Rabble Wine, Tito’s Vodka, and Bacardi. PBSC series sponsors like Bubba Blade, Bass Pro Shops, Grizzly Coolers, and White Water apparel kept the Spin-to-Win wheel, raffle, and auction areas stocked with great prizes to win. As luck would have it, the weather conditions declined just before the morning checkout on tournament day. Foul weather gear was standard uniform for the teams on their way out the inlet for the 7am start. There were 2 optional categories on everyone’s agenda this day. The “Pick 3” had a whopping $89,820 up for grabs, and the 3 target species were kingfish, tuna, and wahoo for the chance to win the massive jackpot. The “KDW” jackpot boasted a stout payout reached $63,720, with teams having to catch the heaviest combo of kingfish, dolphin, and wahoo. As the fish hit the scales, it looked like the top contenders from the Saltwater Slam we’re lining up to be the ones to beat yet again. Unfortunately, there were no dolphin weighed at the Shootout, which meant the “KDW” jackpot would rollover to the final leg in August. The first and second place spots in the Shootout were separated by only 2.5 pounds with Gator One taking the top spot over Hot Suppah. Captain Ryan McBride and his Gator One crew delivered back-to-back tournament wins with a total weight of 145 pounds in the Shootout! They won five categories and angler Corey McBride was the Top Male Angler with a total of 78.6 points. Gator One has racked up over $44,600 in winnings over the past two tournaments. Their biggest rival, Hot Suppah, cashed the largest check in the Shootout, which included the heaviest fish overall and a second place finish with a total of 142.5 pounds that earned a check for $27,471!

By partnering with local anglers, businesses, and organizations, Mission Fishin’ provides these families and their children an unforgettable marine experience. 50
www.bluewatermovements.com
Bluewater Movements is proud to announce the partnership with Mission’ Fishin as the charitable beneficiary of the Pompano Beach Saltwater Circuit. Mission Fishin’ is a non profit organization in South Florida dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with special needs and their families. By partnering with local anglers, businesses, and organizations, Mission Fishin’ provides these families and their children an unforgettable marine experience. The children and their families have a once in a lifetime opportunity to do a variety of fishing with some of the best boat captains and charters in the South Florida region. Mission Fishin’ was inspired by founder Tony Davis’ son Joshua. Josh is the youngest of three boys, in a family who is obsessed with the outdoors and being on the water. So naturally, Tony was excited to do more father son bonding with his youngest boy. However, his dreams quickly shattered when Josh was 10 months old. He was diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, Cortical Vision Impairment, Epilepsy, and Gut Motility Disorder. Which meant Josh wouldn’t be like his brothers, and would have difficulty talking, would never be able to walk, he would require a wheelchair to get around and would need a feeding tube for nutrition. This was devastating news for the Davis family. Their
hearts broke over the sudden realization that Josh would have a hard time fitting in with his older brothers and wouldn’t be able to partake in all of the same activities as them. A call from artist and fisherman RJ Boyle, changed their lives. RJ wanted to give back to the community of people who do not have the same opportunities and ability that he has. And Tony Davis and his family were the perfect match. RJ wanted to bring the family out for a day on the water, which raised many questions. How would the wheelchair work? Would Josh enjoy it? Would this even be possible? “I had no idea how the wheelchair would work on a boat, how Josh would do on the water, etc. My other boys and I would fish every chance we had but we always had to leave Josh at home. The trip went great and Josh loved it! He is at total peace and relaxes like no other time when he is out on the water. I felt like my dreams had come true as I was able to share this experience with my son. “Tony recalled. From there the inspiration to start Mission Fishin’ was born. Since their inception in 2014, the organization has given over 100 families a once in a lifetime opportunity to go cruise on a boat for the day and catch some fish! The experience on the water is a place where all of their worries can go away for a little while and the families and kids are able to relax and have fun.

GATOR ONE GRABS THEIR FIRST WIN AT THE 25TH ANNUAL SALTWATER SLAM
With a fleet of 95 boats, the 25th Annual Mercury/SeaVee Pompano Beach Saltwater Slam was the post-pandemic tournament anglers have been craving. Despite all of the “social-distancing” guidelines in place, Bluewater Movements collaborated with the City of Pompano Beach to establish a safe and fun environment for anglers to enjoy themselves in! For the first time in 25 years, the kick-off party was limited to registered anglers only. Although the guest list was limited, these meat-fishing teams reminded us they still know how to have a good time, face mask’s and all! DJ Select hosted the party outside while anglers won fabulous prizes from tournament sponsors on the “Spin-to-Win” wheel. Blue Moon Fish Company delivered another extravagant food experience and the free drinks were flowing from Landshark Lager, Rabble Wine, Tito’s Vodka, Bacardi, and Appleton Rum. The pandemic altered the format of the weigh-in as well, but it didn’t slow down the fishing! With Captain Ryan McBride behind the wheel, Lonnie Bergeron and his Mercury powered Gator One won their first ever tournament in the PBSC series, weighing in a total of 185.3 pounds for a grand total $27,059 in earnings. On top of winning 1st place team and $10,000, they caught the heaviest Cobia (30 lbs.), and 2nd heaviest Kingfish (34.9 lbs.), and John Bassett Jr. was the Top Male angler catching 105.1 lbs. of fish himself! Not far behind, in 2nd place was Captain/Owner Mark Lamb and his notoriously consistent team Doing It All/Hardway with a total of 164.4 lbs. of fish to secure 2nd place and $9,850 in prize money. Off the Wall claimed 3rd place with a total of 159.4 lbs. that was good for $3,620 and teammates Jimmy and Buddy Tight won the top family award with a combined weight of 99.8 pounds. Boat after boat, the fish bags could barely zipper shut for the Landshark Lager sponsored weigh-in at Sands Harbor Resort. The Heaviest Fish of the tournament was a 49.1-pound Wahoo caught by Kyle Senkowicz from team Hot Suppah who weighed a total of 132.6 lbs and took home the 2nd largest check of the tournament for a total of $18,610! Captain Nick Carullo and his Lenny’s Luck fishing team cashed in big on their 26’ SeaVee with 92.9 pounds to win first place in the small boat division, plus they had the heaviest kingfish of the tournament (36.7 lbs.) that won them several other categories for a total of $11,135 in tournament winnings! The 25th Annual Saltwater Slam delivered a purse of more than $200,000 including an $80,280 winner-take-all “Pick 3” (the target species pulled during the random drawing were tuna, dolphin, and cobia) that was not fulfilled. The highly anticipated “KDW Jackpot” (catch a weighable Kingfish, Dolphin, Wahoo) rolled over as well, leaving both calcuttas up for grabs heading into the final leg of the series in August.

REEL SYNERGY OWNED THE SHOWDOWN AND LIVING WATER/MAKING TIME CAPTURED THE SHOWDOWN CROWN!
The 22nd annual Mercury/SeaVee Pompano Beach Saltwater Showdown was an unforgettable tournament to end the meat-fishing season. A total of 78 boats showed up at the Showdown and competed not only for the Champions title of leg 3, but also to determine the overall winner for Showdown Crown series Champions. The calcutta payouts rolled over to the largest purse in PBSC history with the “KDW” calcutta sitting at $75,060 and the “Pick 3” at $100,080! A substantial $256,718 In total was up for grabs for the top teams in the Saltwater Showdown. The fishing conditions were perfect, and the competition was neck-andneck, but it was Captain/Owner Ryan Davis and his Mercury powered team, Reel Synergy who took home the gold at the Saltwater Showdown with a total of 135.6 lbs. weighed, winning 1st place Overall and 7 other categories for a grand total of $21,677! SeaVee/Mercury powered Team Living Water/Making Time secured 2nd place with 131.3 lbs which bumped up their series points to earn them the prestigious title of 2020 PBSC Showdown Crown Champions!! Captain/Owner Mark Miller and his team missed 1st place by 4.3 lbs. but secured 4 categories including 2nd place wahoo (36 lbs.) for a grand total of $10,280. Not far behind was the 5x previous PBSC champions. Captain/Owner Art Sapp and his SeaVee/Mercury powered team Native Son took home 3rd place, with 115.3 lbs., winning 8 categories in all including heaviest kingfish (43.7 lbs), and 1st place in the Bluewater Challenge. With a 3rd place finish in the Showdown, they jumped up to 2nd place in the Crown standings as well (1 point behind “Living Water/Making Time”) and their winnings totaled $21,603! In a year full of new changes, the Showdown had a new weigh-in location at Sullivan Park in Deerfield Beach! Unfortunately, the kick-off party and awards had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 county regulations, however, teams were still excited to be able to get out on the water and fish! The gorgeous new waterfront park features several finger docks for multiple boats to tie up and a spacious property that allowed teams to stay socially distanced during the weight-in. Captain Christian Rec and his team The Program won the SIMRAD sponsored small boat division with a total weight of 74.5 lbs. They also came out on top as the top small boat of the series to earn a bonus $1,000 and a multifunction unit from SIMRAD. Top Non-Pro team went to Finsanity II. Comprised of mostly junior anglers, they finished the season strong, weighing a total of 77.6 lbs. at the Showdown and winning $3,673. Junior Angler, James DeMarco of team Native Son” claimed the Junior Master Angler title of the series with a total of 109.3 lbs. weighed during the 3-tournaments. Despite the onset of a pandemic only 2 months prior to the start of the 2020 Pompano Beach Saltwater Circuit, we were still able to persevere and bring our fishing community together for three great PBSC tournaments over the summer. Thank you to all who participated! 2020 will definitely be a season we will never forget.

"We are so humbled and fortunate to get a win fishing against the best crews in South Florida. A lot of time and effort goes into fishing these events and it’s so nice to see that all of the hours bait fishing, making rigs and pre-fishing has paid off. We look forward to next season and hope to put more consistent finishes together to have a shot at the rings." – RYAN DAVIS
