Same as last year I entered Nathaniel in the Junior Angler division for this tourney, since as a Jr. he can fish from shore/pier.
Last year he took First Place Jr. White Trout, http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=11431.0
Nathaniel fished the surf on Dauphin Island, and had a great morning.
Had a blast, absolutely killed the White Trout and Whiting, managed a new PB Speck, several small Atlantic Sharpnose sharks and a few Bluefish.
He caught everything on the Penn Pursuit combo he won at the same tourney last year.
This year he managed to take second place White trout.

He started off with a Speckled Trout and the White Trout in first, but got bumped hard all the way off the Speck board.
Not overly upset since he still had a first in Whites, the swelling of his ego was hardly diminished.
Then he got his bubble thoroughly popped as he was bumped to second in White... Poor kid. ::)
Still he made out like a bandit, taking home the following prizes.
Shakespeare Synergy Titanium Combo
Plano 3600 Speedbag tackle system
Academy Sports Sleeping bag
Frogg Toggs Cooling Towel
Igloo 1/2gal Sport Jug
Happy Kid

Bubble Popped

He even got his picture taken with one of our local News Anchor hotties and might make the news.

The Speck was his personal Best and he was very proud of it... Hamming it for the camera.

Now that's how it's done... great job, Nathaniel!
I see large fish in your future.
Keep it up,
