2018 Jim Bost Memorial Won by Change Order

Second place youth angler
from Tina's Trippin' and 17.4-pound mahi

The Marina at Edisto Beach hosted the annual offshore tourney on June 16 that honors the memory of Jim Bost, a longtime Edisto resident and affirmed bluewater fisherman. Ten boats elected to head out to sea in calm and hot conditions, and marina manager Brian Bell commits a portion of the tourney proceeds to conservation via the Harry Hampton Fund. The first place dolphin weighed 24-pounds and was reeled in by Clayton Stoddard on Change Order, earning Captain Carl Brown and crew the $1200 first place pay day.
