The 20th annual Fishing For Miracles tourney got underway with a Captain's Meeting at Ripley Light Yacht harbor on August 15. Fishing conditions on the 16th were rainy and tropical, with the weigh-in running from 2 until 5 on Friday. Lots of great fish in the 30-pound class were weighed in but the elusive 40-pound barrier was not broken. In the Day One lead is angler Bill Rosengarten fishing on the Stray Dog out of Beaufort with Captain Chris Rosengarten. In second place is Craig Wilson with a 37.64-pound king from the Betty Lou II, a 22-foot Pro Sports boat. Third place is a 36.90-pound king weighed in by Melvin Knight aboard Fish Hunter, a 23-foot Palmetto boat. Fourth place is angler Bose Picquet with a 36.04-pound king caught from Like-2-Fish. Fifth place is a 34.65-pound king caught on The Pursuit, and their lady angler Jill Seager also weighed in a nice wahoo. This year's fleet is 125-boats strong!
