It's deep freeze time on the Jersey Cape. The meadows and waterways are pretty well frozen over, and there were Brant bunching together as I rode over the Ocean Drive Bridge near Grassy Sounds on Tuesday. While we've had some of the coldest weather we’ve had in many a day. and it came on real fast, we have been very fortunate when you look at other parts of the country. It seems like the artic cold that descended upon us hit most of the United States, and we’ve missed the worst of the storms so far We still aren't out of the woods yet. and with the population of ducks and geese in ouf meadows, we can only hope and pray that we will,be spared the icy cold that has descended on the rest of the country. I’m finishing this up on Friday night, and we're digging out cif a lot of snow, and I wish it was Tuesday again! That same day (Tuesday) that I saw the Brant we tfpd been meeting over at Joe.Catanoso's Lodge in Anglesea Beach Colony for the judging of the 46th Annual Cape May County Fishing-Contest. ‘ MOST OF THE JUDGES of previous, years were present Walt Fellrnbaum of Avalon. Ben Callaway of the Philadelphia Inquirer. (harles Vaughan, retired writer. Ralph Knlsell of the Woodbury Times. Ralph Horton, publisher-editor of Pennsylvania Fish'N magazine. Ilerbjj Blackwell of the Trentonian. myself from the Cape May County Herald, tournament director Freeholder Anthony Catanoso, Freeholder. Jack Bittner, Lou Rodia. manager and chief of the contest, and Lou's assistant Richard Long-jtrcet. The results Will be published'in detail later on in this paper, but I couldn't help but notice some of the entries that were unusual. Under the true albacore category th<* winner was jJfhn Zazensky who was fishing on Sal Sorace's Five Star He caught a 68 lb. beauty. This was John's year, and he wound it up putting the flying gaff into Sal's 550 pound blue marlin which won the blue marlin catgpry. and was the biggest fish entered in the contest. Ben Callaway and I spent some time talking about that big fish as lirelived the day Sal caught it. THEVI NOTICED THAT THE FALSE albacore of 9 lbs. was caught in the surf by Chip Btirhaupt of Philadelphia on bunker bait in Townsends Inlet. Ralph Horton and I got into quite a discussion on that one, because outside of down in Hatlrfas, we had never heard of a false albacore being taken in the surf.

In the bluefish entries the IB lb. 12 oz. winner was taken by Rufus Gaul on Cpt. Bob BenneCi Tuna bucktailing on July 21; the third place winner was taken by Bob Maholland at McGrids Shoal too', it was 18 Ita. 8oi. on the same daleRalph Knlsell was surprised that the 89 lb. winner in the black drum divlaion was taken on April 28. but we remembered that early run of drum, and the night that Dave Atkinson weighed It in at Joe Rodia's; in fact the picture of it appeared in this cplumn on May 8 along with the first weakfish of 1981. and th/second place winner in the drum part was taken by Tom'Jorgenson on June 4. It was another catch that we had some knowledge'of, because Tom was responsible for us catching the only drum we had on the Janie T V/f. and we followed his progress all through the (Jrum season. *• THE NEXT SPECIES THAT TOOK our attenfion war. the kingfish entries, and here Len Guthrie and'his father placed second and fourth with catches in Hereford Inlet . showing that they still know how to catch a rare species. - The white marlin category brought back memories rff th£ ; tournament of championR again wherul.arrj' Deuher took second place in The county contest with the 96 ib. white that earned him first place irt the white marlin part of the ‘champions'' contest. The third place 90 pounder taken by Or. Richard Gross on Billy Dlller's Canyon Lady also brought back another memory. As we ^kipped over some more entries I noticed that "Cleaning Keenan" Osborne vfron first prize with the 109 pound ydlowfin fun^ he took on 20 lb. test, and that picture also appeared in this paper July 15. The weakfish winner brought back memories of the report on Mark Elliott's big weakfish (15 Ib, 3 oz.) that was taken on May 23. As we reviewed the list of winners, and remembered all tho5Fvtimes. it was interesting to note that most of those biggies had been reported in The Herald. One that we * missed was the two spotted weakfish taken by Walt llendee and Etpie Hastings over on Stone Harbor Point. Oct. It and 12. IT WAS AN INTERESTING SEASON, and we were lucky to have been on the spot as things were happCninV I’ve missed a few winners that were posted by the Glass Machine, and the third place yellow fin'tuna ef 80 lbs that was taken by Harry Singer with Cpt. Don Murphy on the Skylark. All in all, though, it was quite a season.

It's not easv to write a column this week because just before the judges' Tneeting I lost one of my oldest friends, and Cape May County sustained another decrease in its number of staunch citizens that have made us great. Russell Weatherby of Springers Mill Rd.. passed away in Burdette Tomlin.Hospital early Monday morning, leaving behind many memories of the drum and bugle squad he directed for many years. "Russ’; planned and built our present Legion home in Cape May Court House just as he built many fine homes over the years in Stone Harbor and Court House. He was a Legionaire for 55 years, and for 27 years I served with him on the Board of the Cape May County Savings and Loan, and I leaned heavily on him for advice. He was an honest and sincere man who believed that everything should be done by an individual to the best of his ability. I RESPECTED HIM. and enjoyed many hours with him. I believe that the life he lived could be an inspiration to us all. He served our country in World War I in the Marine Corps., and he remained all his life a patriotic flag displayer. I can truyly say that I was honors! to call him a friend: Words fail me as I try to do justice to what this man brought to our community, hut I can finalize it by saying Cape May County was a better place because of Russell Weatherby — builder, patriot, father, and veteran. I will miss him greatly « Still Time To Sign Up
