What's the deal with this? Anyone ever been? Fun? What do they mean in regards to "No Limit on Jugs"? I can't imagine 50-100 boats all trying to jug fish down the river and there not be massive "contraversy" lol

Ive never fished in it, might this year

I have been to the weigh-in but not fished it. I have seen a small barge 10x20 stacked with gar thigh high and guys cleaning and cooking. Proceeds went to charity. Very good time, in a white trash kind of way...

I was in until I saw that it wasn't really Elvis... only an "Impersonator". I'm glad they cleared that up!

Never been before, but I will this year. I hear it's a damn good time. I'll report back to the OB with results and critique.

I've got to hand it to that place, they come up with some good ideas.

i thought they always had a choupique rodeo? Does this replace it, or is it in addition to the Choupique rodeo?

Choupique Rodeo is a St James Parish Boat Club Event. It's usually in April.
Blind River Bar has been hosting a far fish
rodeo for over 10 years.

It's a gar fish rodeo and they're giving a prize for the largest trash fish?

I think they do largest fish and lbs. caught.

Having been at BRB over the years, that might not be the jugs they are referring to.

Cant wait. Fished it last year in a bass boat, big mistake. Took 2 days to clean it after
The party is always the best part, better be there before 10 if you want a spot for your boat on the pier

I don't know. On the sign it says "biggest trash fish---no sharks."

I think that is a separate category...

Yeah, I just thought it was funny they that they have a gar fish rodeo and then give a prize for the biggest trash fish.

Do they cook up some of the gar fish?

I have not been in a couple of years and there are now new owners, but last time I was there they were selling gar balls and fried gar and proceeds were going to a charity. With them making a requirement edible fish I would think that still continues...
