Alabama deep sea fishing has one of the 10 greatest fishing tournaments
June 11, 2009
USA TODAY features the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo on their list of 10 great places for tournament fishing. David Kinney, author of The Big One- a new book on tournament fishing, and USA TODAY columnist Tim Smight developed the list.
From the article “10 great places to compete hook, line and sinker” in USA TODAY:
Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo- Mobile, Ala. "This one (July 17-19) is worth the trip just because it's probably the oldest ongoing fishing tournament in the country," Kinney says. "The contest was started back in 1929 by a Mobile businessmen trying to drum up tourism. Today more than 3,000 contestants fish it every July, chasing tarpon, king mackerel, amberjack and two dozen other kinds of sport fish." At stake: $400,000 in prizes.
