We’re thrilled to now be a part of the rich history of this event,” said Capt. John Adams. Second Place Angler Overall was sixteen-year-old Timmy Maddock, Jr., of Pompano Beach aboard the Reel Easy. Third Place Angler Overall was Good Call team member Mark Wodlinger of Naples with 4 releases on time. Fourth Place Angler Overall was Erik Waldin of Palm Beach fishing on Wrenegade with 4 releases on time. Sasha Lickle of Palm Beach, also aboard the Wrenegade, posted 2 individual releases outscoring nearly a dozen other women anglers to claim the Top Lady AnglerTrophy. Mike Simko fishing aboard the Captivating landed a 36.5 pound cobia to win the Grand Champion Weight FishTrophy. Capt. Will Sabayrac, whose team members included his father and brother, guided the Goin’ Raptor to theTop Small Boat Trophy. Capt. Tore Turney and team Reel Captivating took home the Top Tag Team Trophy by tagging 4 sailfish with Billfish Foundation tags. Their first tagged sail had been dipped in the cremated ashes of former WPBFC member Jim Gill whom Tore had guided to Derby wins in 2003 and 2007. While it was an exciting finish for the top dozen boats in the tournament, for the most part the sailfish bite could be characterized as slow when compared to Derby’s past, many of which were history making events. But as one veteran angler said, “We can’t set records every year!” 2016 Derby -continued-
