9/5 TGIF Captain’s Cup Update

September 5, 2014 By InTheBite Editor

9/5 TGIF Captain’s Cup Update

nfl-kickoff-ball2

With college football and the NFL finally getting started this week, we thought it would be fitting to showcase the top captains and teams in each of the five Captain of the Year Cup divisions. Two of the five divisions have wrapped up (East Coast and Gulf Coast) and we’ll be showcasing the winners in the December 2014 issue of InTheBite, The Professionals’ Sportfishing Magazine. We’re still waiting on the South Carolina Governor’s Cup staff to determine the overall winner for the series this year, which will determine the outcome of the East Coast race but congratulations are in order for Capt. Jason Buck on the Done Deal, winner of the Gulf Coast Captain of the Year Cup. Jason won by a narrow 50 points over fellow competitor Capt. Devin Potts on the Sea Mixer, who finished the year with 1,850 points.

With the new Captain of the Year format, we are also creating a Perpetual Trophy for each division. Each year, the winning captains’ names will be engraved on the Cup in a tradition similar to the U.S Open’s Wanamaker Trophy in professional golf. Keep in mind that we still have several tournaments to decide the Florida and International divisions and the Hawaii Division winner will be determined at the last event later this month.

Enjoy your weekend! Good luck in your next tournament and congratulations to the top ranked teams of 2014.

Capt. Dale Wills

What came first the football or the egg sinker? Its no coincidence a sinker looks like a football. Happy Football Season!
