Record-Breaking Catches Highlight Early Destin Rodeo
One week into the Destin Rodeo, contestants chase records across divisions. Allen C. Miller aboard the Melanie Dawn weighs a 312 pound 6 ounce Warsaw, besting the old 303 pound 3 ounce mark, with other leaders including Jim Madon’s 400 pound 8 ounce Thrasher Shark and G R St Pierce’s 49 pound 10 ounce Sailfish aboard Break-A-Way. Leaders shift daily as competitors target multiple species and categories under First National Bank of Destin sponsorship offering a $2,000 reward in ten divisions.
