Venice Tarpon Leaders Dominate Angling Notes
Lynn Taylor's 167 pound tarpon tops the Venice Area Tarpon Tournament while Bud Monroe adds a 160 pounder. Linda Garlitz leads the women's division with 158 and a half pounds. Buddy Buckelew cards two large fish 155 and 152 and a half pounds. Michael Green leads the youth with a 104 and a half pound catch. Donna Chalaire sets Venice Shark Club records with a 690 pound tiger shark, the largest by a woman in USC history. Descriptions cover multiple catches at Pelican Cove, North Jetty Fish Camp, and Venice Municipal Pier, with tarpon sightings off the gulf and Boca Grande pass suggesting strong entries for the VATT.
