The angler that caught the leading fish on Day One was back up to his old tricks on Day Two. That's when Trey Groves reeled in a 26.66-pound king mackerel for Team Sperry / Net profit. The real story was that the 40.61-pounder that Groves brought to the scales on Friday held on to win the 2011 Fishing For Miracles Tournament. Captain and owner Bryan Baxter said that his team was very pleased with their performance over the weekend, and that now they had to go and clean the boat - talk about being grounded! The second and third place fish from Day One also held onto their places, but a Day Two king did slide into fourth place. Lady angler champ Jackie Sgambati reeled in a 36.67-pound king caught aboard the 36-foot Yellowfin called Keepin' It Reel which is run by Capt. Jared Floyd. Sgambati said her king ate a pogie at 8:30 a.m. and that it fought her for about 25-minutes. Youth angler champ Les Smith was back at the docks on Day Two to weigh-in a 21.51-pound king, though it was his Day One fish in third place overall for FFM. The Day Two weigh-in was followed by an awards ceremony at the Ripley Light Yacht Club, and the tourney proceeds goto MUSC and CCA.
