Miss Annie CL A I MS L A RGE ST PAYOU T I N SA IL FISH HISTORY In January 2020, history was made when the single largest payout of any sailfish tournament was handed out at Operation Sailfish. For a period of five years, the Release Roundup had rolled over with no winner and ballooned to an astounding $371,700 jackpot! With just a $1,000 entry fee to play and a return of nearly 400X up for grabs, the Release Roundup had the undivided attention of every Quest for the Crest team and followers around the country. Two things were guaranteed. The jackpot would ultimately be paid out and there could only be one winner. Who would it be?? Enjoy the story. The 2020 Operation Sailfish tournament got off to a great start for the Miss Annie team. Following a fantastic kickoff party, we set out early Thursday morning for the eventâ€™s annual Take A Hero Fishing Day. We had the privilege of hosting an Army veteran, representing the charitable

organization Operation Homefront to celebrate their service to our country. Fresh off another tournament, disappointed we were unable to fish the last day due to a mechanical issue, the crew was motivated to get the monkey off our back during the Take a Hero day. The mood was upbeat and the forecast hinted at the possibility of decent fishing as we spooled the reels and rigged up. Bait had been tough to come by, but we had some decent herring penned up and our bait guy came through with some fresh goggle eyes last minute, as he always seems to do! A quick camera check and a run to get some lucky cold ones for the crew and we were ready to go. After somewhat of a late start waiting on a team member, there is always that one guy, we tossed the lines on the dock and headed up about 15 miles north to scout for the prime location. We bounced around to a few different spots and managed to release 5 sailfish that was good enough for first place on the Continued on page 14

Take a Hero Day! The monkey was officially off our back. Now we just needed to see if we could make it count on tournament day.

DAY 1

CREW LIST MARK DONAHUE GREG BOGDAN SCOTT ADAMS

we were able to fill his spot with an eager youngster, so crisis averted. At this point we heard that the Miss Annie was still in the Release Roundup but had no concept of how much money was at stake.

Day one started out decent for us. The RUDI HASSELLBAUER weather was calm for the ride out but DAY 2 JAMES BARNETT definitely started to pick up quickly. The Day 2 arrived, and it was definitely a bites seemed to heat up in places and shut bit sporty on the way out. Miss Annie BARRY WESHNAK off in others with the usual suspects calling weather for sure. I headed up to the Loran FRANK NAPURANO in releases up and down the coast. We had tower hoping for a good day, and we a tough average in the morning and my started picking at them fairly early. I was BLAIR BRANCHESI crew took full liberty to harass me about the concerned about the boats that had a lead lack of bites. With the clock ticking, it was on us, as it is tough to play catch-up. When time to turn up the tournament pressure, the noon report came out over the radio, so mid-day we made a big move up to a bite we were shocked that Miss Annie was one that vanished as soon as we got there. With no other choice we of three boats still in the Release Roundup. Five minutes after had to run back south, which burned valuable time, but got us twelve, we hooked a double and they burned each other off! My back into a bite again. In the midst of catching fish, jamming out phone had been ringing while we were losing that double, so I and enjoying the day, we missed the radio announcement about returned the call to one of the other captains to find out we were the roundup. The Release Roundup was up for grabs and the Miss fishing against two other boats for over $371,000! I said to the Annie was still in it! It was tough for us going 7/12 but the mood other captain, I guess I should put the phone down and try to was still good and I promised the boys that I would get the lucky catch a couple sails then! At that point the true magnitude of lunch for Day 2 (No, I am not telling). Then we suffered a set the situation set in and I realized the position that we were in! back as one of our star anglers had a work priority and could not $370K in a three-boat tournament! I decided to share the news fish the second day. The only upside of this would be slightly less with the team in hopes it might keep the captains abuse from verbal abuse for the captain from the cockpit. After a few calls, the cockpit to a minimum (Nope!). Continued on page 16

Quest for the Crest

The fishing dried up in our location, so we moved around a bit and got lucky on a couple moves catching a pair on one and a single out of a double on another. Any captain in these tournaments knows how quickly boats can start getting on them so obviously the stress level was high, and our competitors were some of the best in the business. As the afternoon went by, the bite shifted to the south and picked up a bit. We were way out of position and needed to get there ASAP. About ten miles and thirty minutes later Miss Annie and a drowned and beaten captain made it to the bite just north of Jupiter Inlet. It was a parking lot but fish were being called in on the regular. At this point we needed some sailfish badly to hang on and the competition was in sight. All of the boats were lined up, so I chose to push offshore a bit where I saw a boat up the line fighting one a bit deeper. As we pushed offshore, we hooked a single that slowly became a quad. Four sailfish on at once at the best of times is a challenge, but with that kind of money on the line it was stressful to say the least. We managed three out of four with one pulling off one inch from the leader. This put us in a great position but with fifteen minutes left anything could happen. Time felt like it came to a standstill and it was a long last few minutes of the tournament with one of the other boats in the Roundup hooked up. Any crew can understand the slow tick of the clock at that point! In the end it was our day going 10/14 wining the Daily, Second Place in the tournament, and of course the Release Roundup! Total winnings of $474,130! We all feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to fish these tournaments, and are humbled by the level of competition. It is an awesome feeling when it is your day. I guess that’s what keeps us coming back. I cannot say enough about my team and the hard work they put in, and the camaraderie that we have built over the years. And a special thanks to Jamie and the whole Bluewater Movements team for putting on an amazing tournament series.

Looking forward to the 2021 Sailfish Series and some good fishing!

Criteria 1: Two or fewer paid crew members on board (including captains, mates, and anglers). Criteria 2: There can not be anyone on board that has placed in the top 8 of a Quest for the Crest tournament within the past 8 years. 26. Billfish Release Criteria: All billfish in each event must be properly released in order for a point to be scored to the registered angler and his or her team. The requirements for a release are as follows: (1) The double line and leader must leave the tip of the rod once a strike occurs, unless they have already exited the tip of the rod. (2) At the conclusion of the fight the fish must be brought close enough to the boat for a mate or crewmember to touch the leader, not the double line. (3) In a continuous sequence, video footage must clearly identify the fish as well as the leader touch by a crew member. (4) Evidence on video of the leader being cut at the time of release. (5) The proper color card and confirmation # should be displayed on video to mark the completion of a catch. 27. Video Requirement: Every billfish released in the tournament must be verified by video footage clearly identifying the release. Each team is responsible for providing their own video camera and the appropriate media to record video footage that documents the releases on their boat. Video media will not be provided to teams by the tournament committee. Acceptable video formats are SD cards only. The first video clip to be shot by all teams should be of time, date and GPS location at the start of fishing. If you fill your first video and need to switch to a 2nd video during fishing please contact the radio room for an establishing shot to begin your video. A secondary video source is highly recommended. 28. Continuous Video Sequence: To ensure the authenticity of the releases, each team will be required to maintain a continuous video sequence from the time video evidence of the fish is established up to the time that the leader touch and cut is verified on video. If a break in the footage should occur, the team must reestablish video evidence of the fish again with a continuous video sequence up to the leader touch and leader cut. 29. Break Image: Once a release has occurred, the captain must contact the radio room for a confirmation # and instructions on which color card to shoot in order to complete the release on video. If a team is hooked up to multiple fish, a crewmember should state that on camera with video evidence to support it. In the case of a multiple, if necessary, one color card can be used for the break image, provided the video evidence can clearly distinguish multiple sailfish and anglers fighting those fish and the necessary criteria referenced above for qualification of the release on video. 30. Release & Catch Verification: All billfish releases must be reported to the tournament committee immediately following the release. Individuals calling in a release must include the boat number and angler name in their report. A release will be official once the radio controller responds to the respective angler with a confirmation number and color. That confirmation number and color should be recorded on the registered angler’s release card. Any boat unable to contact the committee should contact another boat for a relay. A tournament cell phone # will also be provided to teams at each Captain’s meeting. Boats that intend to fish in areas with poor cell phone coverage are still responsible for maintaining communication with the tournament committee on all releases. 31. Winnings: All winners are required to complete a W9 form prior to receiving any awards for each tournament. Awards and prize money will be withheld as required by law if a W9 form is not presented in advance of the awards presentations.

To Benefit

ABOUT THE ARTIST Peter Agardy is the featured artist for the 1st leg of the Quest for the Crest Series. As a 4th generation Floridian, Peter is influenced by his natural surroundings from the ocean to the great outdoors. Growing up an avid fisherman on the waters of Florida, Bahamas and other exotic locations, Peter gained a lifelong passion for nature, the sea, and its beautiful predators and creatures. Coming from a family line of fishermen, artists and painters, he felt naturally driven to pursue and explore marine art as part of his career.

SAILFISH CATEGORIES FISH FOR CHARITY

RELEASE ROUND UP

 50/50 SPLIT 

WINNER TAKE ALL  $57,600

Prize money in this optional category is awarded to the high point team overall. Entry fee for the High Roller’s Club is $1,000 per boat. Prize money is based upon 35 registered boats. Prize money will increase or decrease based on number of boats entered.

This optional entry category is divided into 4 rounds over 2 days of fishing. Hours of fishing in morning rounds are from 8:00am to 12:00pm. Hours of fishing in afternoon rounds are from 12:01pm to 4:00pm. Numbers ranging from 1 to 5 will be placed in a sealed container. During each round of fishing a number will be drawn from the container and that number will determine the minimum number of sailfish that must be released to move on to the next round. Drawn numbers can only be used once. A team must advance through all 4 rounds in order to win the pot. In the final round, should multiple boats release the required number of fish, the team that releases the most fish in that round will win. Ties will be determined by whichever team released their last fish first. If there is no winner the pot will rollover into the next leg of the Quest series. Estimated purse is based on a rollover amount from Operation Sailfish. Entry fee is $1,000 per boat.

LEG 2

FEBRUARY 17-21, 2021 Ft. Lauderdale, FL

ABOUT THE ARTIST

The featured artist title in leg 2 of the Quest for the Crest series belongs to Bobby Boyle, better known as R.J. Although his affinity for art and drawing began at an early age, it was not until some years out of college that RJ actually pursued a career as an artist. He spent a considerable portion of his life fishing full-time as a mate, an experience that provided great perspective for him as a marine and wildlife artist. He owns his own art studio and tackle shop in Lighthouse Point, FL. When heâ€™s not there youâ€™ll usually find him out on the swordfish grounds or up in Tennessee spending time with his family.

To Benefit

ABOUT THE ARTIST K.C. Scott, featured artist for Final Sail, was first introduced to fishing by his father on Gull Lake in Michigan where he grew up. Early childhood trips to the Florida Keys to escape the bitter cold winters in Michigan, fueled his passion for the ocean and all the creatures that swim in it. After a stint in professional golf, he ultimately landed where he has the most talented stroke, with a paintbrush in his hand. See more of his work at kscottart.com.

Hours of fishing in afternoon rounds are from 12:01pm to 4:00pm. Numbers ranging from 1 to 5 will be placed in a sealed container. During each round of fishing a number will be drawn from the container and that number will determine the minimum number of sailfish that must be released to move on to the next round. Drawn numbers can only be used once. A team must advance through all 4 rounds in order to win the pot. In the final round, should multiple boats release the required number of fish, the team that releases the most fish in that round will win. Ties will be determined by whichever team released their last fish first. If there is no winner the pot will rollover into the next leg of the Quest series. Estimated purse is based on a rollover amount from Sailfish Challenge. Entry fee is $1,000 per boat.
