Seems silly. I would rather have the ounces than the drama.


Some people live for the attention. On smaller fish such as trout, I'd weigh in regardless. We used to hold offshore fish. I wouldn't weigh in a 50 lb lemonfish until I knew it was gonna have a chance. Way too much good meat to weigh in early and not even place in rodeo.

Yea, that would be at the Chat-N-Chill. Really cool place to hang out and drink some Kaliks. The ole guy that owns it is cool to talk to. Found out later he is worth about 30 million.

Thibodaux native and Baton Rouge resident J.J. Tabor know it was a good one when he hooked it. 

But he had no idea that the fish on the other end of his line was a new state record and the highlight of the 2017 International Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo.

Tabor's fish was a grouper. It was the talk of the tournament on Saturday, totaling 383-pounds, 2-ounces - a new state record for the species. 

Tabor, a regular on the local rodeo scene, said he's proud to be in the record books.

As his fish was weighed, a massive crowd gathered around the scales. When it was announced that it was a state record, the crowd roared in applause. 

"What a day," Tabor said. "I didn't expect this. I knew it was big, but you don't think about records or setting any records when you go out on the water. To being this fish in, it was just a great accomplishment."

The fish came onshore at about 4:30 p.m. - about 90 minutes before the scales close at the prestigious event. 

It was by-far the biggest fish caught on Saturday - a day which proved tough on anglers because of stiff winds from a cold front, which is sweeping through the area.

These weigh-in numbers and fish pics are great and all, but they're not really the reason I clicked on this thread.

Step it up Tarpon Rodeo'ers. You know what the OB wants here.
