On Tuesday of Iasi week the Judges of the Cape May County Fishing contest met over at Weber’s Hof Brau in Wildwood to award positions iff the annual event This is a oncc-a-year meeting of a group of men who are carrying on a 45-year-old tradition, and each season these results have been recorded and

published.

That’s quite a track record. As far as I know, its the only contest that awards citations and award buttons for prize fish in 33 different species. Present at this year’s meeting were Ralph Knisell, Woodbury Times; Ben Gmlla way. Philadelphia Inquirer; Herb Blackwell. Trento nian; Charles Vaughn.

I want to mention The dedication before I get into the knitty-gritty of the contest. These people came from all over the eastern section of our country, and represent many forms of news media which will publish the results of the 1980 fishing year. I’ve been doing it since about 1965, and I gpcss I consider it a kind of heritage. I believe the others feel the same

way. *

cd elsewhere. I would like to mention that I witnessed the 102 lb 12 oz state record black drum weighed in by John R. Trumbelty of Clarksboro, andthat all the stripers (largest 44 lb. 8 oz ) were taken in May and June. Weakfish. which wne to 16 lb. 8 oz. were also taken in May and June. My friend Don Murphy had the third place blue marlirferttored. He caught that on Jack Osborne’s Red Beard, and I took a picture of Rod Smith’s 680 lb. first prize winner in this category I chased all over Cape May trying 4o get a picture , of Donald Wiscolt Roseman's 498 pound" swordfish, and I finally saw it, mounted in Joan Roseman’s living room last week I took a picture of Charlie Dooner’s 159 lb. 8 oz. yellowfin tuna, which was a winner at Rosemans boat yard. Some other noteworthy entries were of a 51 lb. 15 oz. sea bass (1st place) out of the bay by 6Julius Sebastian. This is an unusual area to catch a big sea bass. White marlin were unusually large with two of the winners over too pounds. The largest croacker was caught on Jim Ckhittl's Starlight in the ocean, and the largest bluefin tuna (332 lbs.) was caught Sept. 21 by Boh Mutsrhlr.r on the Shearwater captained by Boh I'u mm is. That’s late for big tuna. The second biggest bluefish <J9 lb 1 oz..) was caught on the Rainbow with night chumming by Alex Morrone of Philadelphia. 1980 was an interesting season, and I hope that I’ll be able to cover as much in 1981 There are- a lot of Stories in the entries — but I think The most amazing tale is that this contest has run for 45 straight years, and it’s getting bigger all the time.
