Great Take a Hero Fishing Tournament!!!!!

Friday afternoon at 1pm the THERAPY-IV - 45 year Miami deepsea fishing charter - docked at Lauderdale Marina with 6 NAVY men on board.  They were buzzing about the morning they spent on board.  As the crew secured the fishing yacht, the boys jumped off and discussed the fish they all caught.  Each man reeled in a deep sea fishing monster.  With the smiles and cheerful conversation continuing, the men boarded the vessel.  Speaking with a couple of them I was able to get a feel for their morning adventure.  One of the sailors, “This was the best time I have had since joining the NAVY”.   Another NAVY man responds, “This is the best time I have had in my life”. 

The men gathered for pictures with the crew and waited for the prize catches to come out of the ice box.  With each fish the sailors cheer grew louder and louder.  The Amberjack has a reputation for an intense fight on the lines.  It was well-suited that the sailors were fishing for the well-known sportfish.  Every ‘jack’ that came out of the icebox was bigger than the fish before it.  The men were riddled with enthusiasm.  The talk now turned to the weigh-in that was taking place 30 yards from the THERAPY-IV. 

Walking over with supreme confidence, the sailors carried their catch to the scale.  Excitement filled the air as fish after fish was heavier than the last.  The winner aboard the THERAPY-IV weighed in at 44 lbs.  Nonetheless, everyone was a winner that day and speaking with Captain Stan afterwards he was thrilled that the men were able to have a day like Friday.  “It is 100% about the sailors”, “it is all about showing them a good time” the Captain kept repeating.  As we were all leaving, the Captain said he was off to make CD’s of the days trip to give to the sailors that night at the fleet week party. 

The tournament was an amazing end to an amazing Fleet Week. If you want to visit The THERAPY-IV for a deep sea fishing excursion, just stop by Haulover Marina in Miami Beach for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    Hi,


    Recently I came across some great articles on your site. The other day, I was discussing (http://www.deepseachronicles.com/2012/04/great-take-hero-fishing-tournament.html ) with my colleagues and they suggested I submit an article of my own. Your site is just perfect for what I have written! Would it be ok to submit the article? It is free of charge, of course!

    Let me know what you think
