Thank you so very much for coming out and visiting with me at the Boca Grande Invitational this past weekend. Listening to all of your positive feedback about my new paintings, and they way that the tournament artwork brought about memories for you made me grateful that I could touch so many of you.

This fishery really is a family. Yes, many are related by blood and marriage. There's so much more to it than that. I'd venture to say that nowhere in the world has our kind of community friendship and love. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. 
Results of the 2019 World’s Richest:
First tarpon of the first day: Capt. Sandy Melvin, Boca Blue - $12,500
Last tarpon of first day: Capt. Wayne Joiner, Hey, Moma! - $12,500

There were 20 tarpon released in the two-day tournament, 25 boats in the field.
Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, Chamber board members, captains and anglers, and congratulations to the winners!
