FATSSSSSOOO!!! ๐๐ฃ๐
There are some wins that just mean a little more, and this is definitely one of them! Billy Pardue and the FATSO crew brought their 119-inch Blue Marlin to the scales Saturday, claimed the top spot in the Blue Marlin division, and took home an incredible $84,415.32! ๐ฐ๐
And they werenโt finished after Saturday โ FATSO turned around and went right back offshore to fish again on Sunday! Thatโs what we love to see.
This crew was especially close to home for MBGFC, with Past President Chris Park, current President Matthew Sayers, and future President Billy Pardue all aboard together. Three generations of club leadership, one boat, and one pretty special Labor Day weekend! ๐
And we canโt leave out Joree Hubbell, who celebrated his FIRST billfish release! Congratulations, Joree โ we hope itโs the first of many! ๐ฃ
We are SO proud of this entire group and couldnโt have been more excited to see FATSSSSSOOO coming down the ditch. A well-deserved win, a special first, and one heck of a weekend for some of our very own. Congratulations, FATSO! ๐๐ผ๐ฅ
