RedGhost Stalk anglers (ages 9-25) took their best handling skills seriously while fishing the one-day redfish and bonefish tournament on July 28th.
In the late July heat, fish were under more stress than usual and required extra care after a hard fight. As a result of his strong catch and release ethics, Fifteen year old angler Michael Shea of Islamorada dove in to revive a nice-sized redfish and secure its healthy swim-off. For his actions, Shea received the Sportsmanship & Conservation Award sponsored by BTT.
