Phil Phillips wins Venice Area Tarpon Tourney top prize
Phil Phillips of Venice ships in the 1979 Venice Area Tarpon Tournament grand prize a 17 foot Aquasport boat with 70 horsepower motor and Harding trailer for his 174 pound tarpon caught at Boca Grande during the tourney’s third week. He also earns second and third place prizes for 125 and 118 pound fish in earlier weeks. Phillips, a first year entrant, fished from Boca Grande with limited gear and drew on local help after a rough night. He plans to sell the grand prize to buy a truck and fund a new home, while continuing tarpon fishing at Boca Grande.
