Congrats Capt. Reed Simmons

On winning the 1st annual Bohicket Redfish Invitational sponsored by The Arthur Smith Foundation. 27 teams fished (up to 4 per boat) and only 5 teams weighed fish. It was a 3 fish limit and he and his partner had two 22+ fish (8.7 lbs.) that outweighed mine and Caleb’s 3 dinks (7.8 lbs) Only 1 other boat weighed more than 1 fish. Those that were skeptical of the format and didn’t fish had GOOD reason as rules were really loose to say the least. Nothing was done intentionally, but much has to be done per the rules to make people feel more comfortable about fishing which I along with Reed discussed with the tournament directors in length before and after the tournament. No check was given at the tournament (gonna be mailed) and entry form said minimum $2500, max. $5000 depending on entries and winner take all. We found out at blast off that max prize was only $1200. At $200 per boat, I feel like they had the money to cover what they advertised.
