306 fishing teams from throughout the southeast registered to compete in this past weekend’s Jolly Mon King Classic King Mackerel Tournament. The tournament is annually hosted from the Ocean Isle Fishing Center, and thanks to great weather conditions, boats as small as 16 feet were able to compete for over $70,000 in prize money. Registration, captain’s meeting, captain’s dinner and Pogy Bobbing contest all took place on Friday evening. The crowd of participants enjoyed great food and later great entertainment from over 30 youth who signed up and competed in the Pogy Bobbing contest. For you that may not be familiar; the definition of “bobbing” is to grab something using only ones teeth. A “Pogy” is a favorite food fish of King Mackerel. Now take a half dozen live Pogies, put them in a clear Tupperware box and give the contestant 15 seconds to “bob” one for a $50 reward. You can imagine the chaos that ensues. It is an annual tradition that hundreds watch and enjoy. This year’s winners were: 10 and under division: Brian Swett – 9 years, 4.3 seconds; 11-14 division: David Lambeth- 12 years, 1 second; 15+ division: Chris Eckert- 21 years, 2.1 seconds.
 
 
Another main feature on Friday is the Jr. Jolly Mon tournament. This tournament precedes the main Jolly Mon tournament held on Saturday and Sunday and is strictly for youth fishermen. Prizes are awarded to all participants who weigh King Mackerel, Dolphin and Cobia in the Jr. Jolly Mon tournament. The concept behind the Jr. Jolly Mon is to give incentive for adults to take kids fishing without the pressure of having a $20,000+ fish on the end of the line. Many participants use the day before the big Jolly Mon tournament to get on the water and scout fish locations. This way, there is incentive to be sure the adults carry kids with them to enjoy the experience and compete in the Jr. Jolly Mon tournament. This year’s winners of the Jr. Jolly Mon King Classic:
 
1st King Mackerel- 24.85lbs - Layton Perkins-12 years –
2nd King Mackerel- 12.8lbs - Drew Lukas- 13 years and Trevor Pittman- 13 years
 
3rd King Mackerel - 11.9lbs Corey Caison-16 years
 
1st Dolphin – 9.15lbs - Corey Caison- 16 years
 2nd Dolphin - 7.65lbs - Patrick Harrelson- 6 years
 
3rd Dolphin– 6.4lbs - Cassie Dawson- 13 years and McKenly High- 8 years
 
1st Cobia- 19.5lbs - Braxton Allen- 4 years
 
2nd Cobia - 17.5lbs - Richard Bole-13 years and Jordan Robson-14 years
 
3rd Cobia -15.6lbs - Noah Moore-9 years and Hunter Moore- 8 years
 
 
 
And then came Saturday, the first day of competition for the Jolly Mon King Classic. Out of the 300+ boats registered, 200 chose to fish on Saturday with the remainder choosing to fish on Sunday. The scales opened at 2pm and shortly thereafter boats began trickling into the Ocean Isle Fishing Center docks. The All In weighed a 31.6 pound King to take the early lead. The Satisfied followed with a 30.1 and the Liquid Asset rounded out the top three catches on Saturday with a 29.3. After Saturday, 20th place was 18 pounds; some nice fish were weighed, but the tournament was wide open. Sunday the conditions were again great and when the scales opened at 2pm a couple of boats were waiting. The Do Work with captain Jeff Beck and crew member Rickey Beck, Timmy Clemmons and Jon Hayes weighed a 33.65 to take the lead. Team Autocraft followed and their fish pushed the scales to 33.05 pounds. Two fish weighed and both bumped Saturday’s leader. The weigh-in progressed and quite a few nice Kings were weighed. However, when it was all said and done it was the Ocean Isle boat Do Work and crew that held on to win the 2010 Yellowfin/Yamaha Jolly Mon King Classic. To compete and win any tournament is a spectacular feeling. To compete and win against 305 other fishing teams and do it in your own home town and backyard is indescribable. Congratulations to the Do Work team and all the teams that made the leader board. Thanks as well to the hundreds of fishermen and families who participated as well as to the great sponsors that help support the Jolly Mon tournament and aid in making it a special event for participants.

WHERE WERE THE FISH CAUGHT?
The winning fish was caught at the end of the Cape Fear Ship Channel near the old sea buoy position. The 2nd place fish was caught at Yaupon Reef and 3rd was caught at the Shark Hole. I have yet to conduct interviews of the top 10, which will be included in the 2011 tournament program for you to study and help in formulating a plan to win next year. Thanks to all for fishing and making the 2010 Jolly Mon a success. Now I'm ready to hang up my tournamet director's hat for a while and get back on the water and competing next to you. See you at the next tournament- Capt. Brant.
