Fort Pierce, Florida  - Tony Vercillo and Tim Kellagher from Port St. Lucie, Florida teamed to earn the prestigious SKA National Champions honor in the Open Class. The duo scored a two-fish aggregate of 77.14 pounds which consisted of a 31.05 on day one and a 46.09 on day two. “This is a dream come true,” said Kellagher, who was a part of the Offshore team in 2001 when the team won the title.

The duo ran two miles south of the inlet on day one to an area referred to as South Beach. “We thought the area was holding fish and we were right,” said Vercillo. “We caught a 31.05, which was not a bad fish but we knew we had our work cut out us on day two. We were going back to the same spot but when we saw a lot of boats going south we made a 180-degree turn and went north two miles.” The first ribbonfish the team deployed was set at 15 feet. Within a couple of minutes the 46.09 king that put the team into the title was hooked up. “Tim had her to the boat in no time and we knew that we would move up from 16th, we just didn't know how far so we kept fishing,” Vercillio added.

The team won a twin Mercury outboard powered 23' Fountain center console boat sitting on a Loadmaster Trailer.

The Offshore Warrior weighed shortly after the scales opened on Saturday and went into the lead. They had to wait until after 5 o’clock to hear that they had sealed their victory.

Sarasota's Scott Routh, who fished a Mercury powered Yellowfin named Devocean, ran north on day one about 20 miles only to experience problems. “We had no choice but to turn around, so we decided to troll back to the Fort Pierce inlet,” said Routh who took it all in stride. After all, if it's a tournament boat something sooner or later will happen, but for Routh it was at an inopportune time. “We made the best of it and at noon our 29.55 hit a mullet on a long line.” Joe Winslow, who was the angler, got her to the boat and later to the scale.

On day two, because their problem could not be fixed, Wylie Nagler from Yellowfin boats had a 22' bay boat brought over from the west coast. The team checked out on day two and decided to fish the South Beach area however after finding a lot of teams there and no strikes, they ran north to the Pines and set up in 55 feet of water. At 1:10 Wylie picked up the rod with a screaming reel and within a few minutes a very nice king came over the gunwale. At the scales the readout read 45.84 giving them 75.39 points, second place, and the prize of a 21' Mercury powered Contender and a Loadmaster Trailer.

Richard Fabrizi's Team ProMarineUSA.com / Wise Guy had the biggest king in the Open Class on the first day of the Championship, a 42.58. In the past when his team of Brian Brandano and Ryan Farner would get the lead, they would be impossible to catch. It almost happened this weekend again but a 31.16 on day two moved them to third overall. They scored 73.74 points.

“We were very happy with our efforts,” said Brandano, who was also the top Fountain boat in the competition. ProMarineUSA.com sells outboard parts for most brands and is a Corporate Partner of the SKA. The team got a “Sweet 16” Donzi, MerCruiser powered, and a Loadmaster Trailer for their efforts.

The master of king mackerel fishing, Dave Workman, Jr., fishing with Rick Stinson, picked up fourth place on the strength of a 27.16 and a 41.56 totaling 68.72 points. “We caught the big king mid-morning at the Pines,” said the three-time Angler of the Year. “We just threw her in the bag and headed for the scale. When we reached the inlet we phoned tournament headquarters to see if we could come in and tie up. Then I thought maybe we better weigh her on our hand scale. She was just a little smaller than I thought so we decided to stay in the area and fish.” After the scales opened, the Strike Zone team weighed the 41-pounder. “This capped a good season for us, tenth in the Pros and fourth at the Nationals.” Dave and Rick fish for Donzi and Mercury.

Rounding out the top five was Chris and Jan Chase's The Chase. With Charlie Lyons and Ray Green, the team ran north to Sebastian after fishing an hour at the Pines. At 10:30 Jan caught their biggest king of day one, a 35.03. Day two again saw the Captain pull back on the throttles at the Pines, this time sticking it out a little longer. When their king hit a goggle eye at 10 o'clock she headed straight to Jeff and Nancy Dunbar's Fish Dancer. “We are friends, but the sportsmanship showed by the Dunbars was great. They got some of their lines up and cut some others so we could get our fish. My hat is off to them,” said Chris Chase who comes all the way from Stanwood, Michigan to fish the SKA circuit.  The fish, a 31.05, insured a top five finish for the 2001 Angler of the Year.
  
After starting the season off watching his boat roll off the trailer after a semi tractor trailer rig clipped their trailer, Ron Hildum picked up the pieces, got a new boat and went on to have a good season including a sixth place finish in the big show. Hildum, Ron Hildum, Sr., Alan Kumm, Michael Syrakis, Michael Syrakis, Jr. and Matt Everett caught a 16.91 on day one. Now a lot of teams would have packed it in but not Hildum. They never give up. The Mercury powered Donzi team rolled up their sleeves and went to work bagging a 47.81 giving them a great 64.72 aggregate. The Sweet Caroline II team did it again!

Dan Hess from Sebastian, Florida had a very consistent event which netted his team, Team Chaos, seventh. Fishing with Don Lamb, Ryan Lee and Andy Boozer, they scaled a 35.02 on day one, and then went on to bag a 29.67 on day two. A great weekend for this Mercury powered Yellowfin team racking up 64.69 pounds.

Eighth place fell to Chesson O'Briant's team, Emerald Marine. Chesson, Philip O'Briant and Robert Koraly, all from Cape Carteret, North Carolina, could only find a 17.76 on day one, but that didn't deter this team. They worked hard and found a 46.52 on day two giving them 64.28 points. That's called true grit. The team fishes a Yamaha powered Century.

Team Sundance Marine's Kevin Kates was about as consistent as one could get. A 33.26 on day one and a 30.58 on day two gave the team 63.84 points and ninth place. Fishing on the Yamaha powered Wellcraft with Kates was Tom Hill, Rich Clawges and Wesley Thomas.

Richard Champion fished his Mercury powered Fountain, Hunker Down, into tenth with a 29.65 and a 33.62. Richard and Glenn Champion, both from Jacksonville, Florida, ended with a 63.27 aggregate.

The largest fish in the Open Class came on day two from George Robert's Smooth Ride from Panama City, Florida. John and his team scaled a 49.69. The team, after only scaling an 11.62 on day one, ended up with a 61.31 aggregate good for twelvth. There were nine other kings in the 40-pound class that were weighed in the Open Class.

On Thursday, the weatherman predicted a fast moving front would drop liquid on the area. While the most we encountered was a light drizzle, there was some wind. Was the prognostication correct when he called for wind and temperatures to start dropping on Friday morning? Right on! Friday winds were 10 to 15 out of the north and Saturday seas fell to 2 feet or less. Perfect weather for this time of the year in South Florida.

A big tip of the kingfish hat to all who participated and made this the best Championship ever.

The SKA’s Class of 23’ started off the Mercury Tournament Trail National Championships in Ft. Pierce, Florida with one heck of a bang. In spite of Friday’s frigid winds driving the choppy seas up to four to six feet, the two largest kings to come to the weigh-in on day one were scaled by Class boats. Navarre, Florida’s Rob Lupola and the Strike Two team were leading with a whopping 47.95-pounder, and Captain Sonny Elliott and the Get Wet crew out of Jacksonville, Florida had a strong 45.27. While neither of these teams could capitalize on their big fish, Captain Jeremy Bonnell and family on the Bandit pulled through and brought the National Championship title home to St. Petersburg, Florida.

Captain Jeremy, Vernon, Matthew, Christopher and Sandra Bonnell are having one heck of a year; they already won a Contender boat at the Boater’s World tournament in Clearwater in April. But don’t doubt for a second that this team works for it. “We came down early and pre-fished for three days,” reported Captain Jeremy Bonnell. Surprisingly, even though the team had three days worth of homework under their belts and some spots picked out, their big king of the weekend came from a completely new spot.

“Well, Mom was getting a little seasick,” said Jeremy. “So when we spotted a flock of birds working about three miles north of the pass we decided to stop and check it out.” The Bandit crew was immediately rewarded, and just as quickly disappointed as they watched a huge king take their spanish mackerel in the prop wash only to have the leader break. The team stayed in the area though, and at 11:45 the perseverance paid off. A long line started screaming and Captain Jeremy grabbed the rod. A surprisingly short battle later Matt was finishing the fight with a smooth gaff shot. Once the Bonnells had the king on board, their only king of the day, the decision to head to the scales was quickly reached.

Reaching the new weigh-in site early, the Bandit team was the third boat to scale a king, and Jack Holmes excitedly announced the weight: 39.47 pounds. Bandit was leading the Class boats, but it was short-lived as Get Wet came to the scales a dozen boats later with that whopping 45.27-pounder to knock them down. At the end of the day’s weigh-in Bandit was sitting in a very respectable fourth place, and had the sixth largest king on the leaderboard in both Classes.

With a brand new Dodge truck and bragging rights on the line the pressure was on. The Bandit set out on Saturday in search of another good king and the title. “We started to the south of the pass,” reported Jeremy. Working the area off the beach the Bandit team was quickly frustrated by the lack of action, and decided to move back to their lucky spot from day one. Trolling fruitlessly for hours had frustrations running high, but at 11:30 the phone rang with some valuable information. My Dingy was on the line letting the Bonnells know that the bite was on at the Pines. It was a 35-mile run out, and the 23’ Yamaha powered Bluewater had the team there by 1:20. Less than 20 minutes later the decision to move paid off as a long line started singing and Matt grabbed the rod. This time Jeremy took up gaffing duties, and the Bandit soon had a solid 30-pounder flopping on the deck.

“With how rough it was we decided to head right in,” said Captain Bonnell, and arriving at the scales the team found they had a 30.93-pounder to add to their previous 39.47 for a 70.40-pound two-fish aggregate. It was a nail-biting wait, but when the last fish was weighed the Bandit still stood atop the Class leaderboard by almost four pounds. For their incredible feat the Bandit team took home a 2007 Dodge Mega Cab 2500 Diesel. “I just really have to thank my Dad as well as My Dinghy for that call the second day,” smiled Jeremy. A hearty congratulations to Captain Jeremy Bonnell and the Bonnell family on Bandit, you’re going down in the SKA record books as National Champions!

Captain Chad Sanders and the Reel Screamer took second place honors with a big 66.50-pound two-fish aggregate. Hailing from Stokes, North Carolina, Captain Sanders was joined by Chip and Hunter Sanders on the 23’ Yamaha powered KenCraft. The team started on day one fishing at the popular Pines, and were working a spot in 58 feet of water when their big king came knocking at 11:05. Their 36-pounder nailed a blue runner with a Cape Lookout Lures skirt on a medium flat line. Junior Angler Hunter took the helm while Chad grabbed the rod and Chip cleared the lines. A quick gaff shot by Chip ended the battle, and at the docks their 36.88-pounder put them in the sixth position heading to day two.

“We had to go to the same place, the Pines,” reported Captain Sanders. The team found a good 25-pounder, but knew they needed more and decided to head back to the Ft. Pierce inlet to try to catch a last-minute king feeding on the outgoing tide. The team’s strategy was sound and at 2:30 a double blue runner on top was nailed and Chad again took up angling duties. At the scales their second king would go almost 30 pounds, giving the team the 66.50-pound second place aggregate. For their efforts the team won a 200 Mercury OptiMax and four grand.

Contender and Yamaha teams swept the next four places, the first up is Captain Gaston Hughes’ Reel Music out of Wilmington, North Carolina. “It’s always good to do well in a tournament,” smiled Captain Hughes. Well, indeed. He and his brother, Walter “Tyler” Hughes took home a 200 Mercury OptiMax and three grand for their weekend. The team’s first fish came at the Sebastian Inlet after the team had worked down the beach, fishing bait pods. The Inlet was producing some small kings, and the team already had four in the mid-teen range by noon. “We were working closer to the shore than most teams,” reported Hughes. “Most of the fish we caught were also in the clearer water.” But at 1:30 their big king of the day hit a croaker and Gaston maneuvered his Contender while his brother worked the king. The team had their 29.79-pounder in the boat before 2 o’clock.

“We had plenty of time but were out of bait, so we went in to the scales. Then we headed back out to jig up some bait. Bandit was jigging up right beside us,” smiled Hughes. There must have been some tasty bait in that area, with both teams pulling wins with those blue runners. “So on Saturday we ended up at Sebastian Inlet again, but it looked like you could fish there all day and not catch a fish.” Switching strategies the Reel Music headed offshore to find a good points-fish, landed a ten-pounder, and then headed back to the inlet.

“We had 45 minutes left at the last spot we hit and were pulling lines when she hit one of the two blue runners still out,” continued the Captain. “Neither of us grabbed the rod, we thought it was a shark.” But as the spool kept diminishing the Hughes brothers knew they had a king, and after a quick 15 minute fight the team had their 32.30 in the boat. But when you’re pulling lines to leave, even 15 minutes is a long time. “We made it back with eight minutes to go, our 23’ Contender really made a difference in that chop.” The Reel Music’s 62.09-pound two-fish aggregate was good for third place honors to take home to North Carolina.

Captain Pete Eldridge’s Square & Level is the next Yamaha powered Contender on the list, amassing a 60.19 two-fish aggregate with two very similar kings. “We got a pair of cookie cutters out of the same hole,” reported Captain Eldridge. He was joined by Harris Hines in the search for smokers, and the team camped out at the Sebastian Inlet both days. “On Friday we only had a couple of kings even though there was a good bite on in the area,” continued Eldridge. The largest of the day came at 2:00 when a blue runner on top was snatched while trolling at a depth of 44 feet. Hines made short work of the mackerel in 10 to 15 minutes, and the team had a solid 29.50 in the bag.

On Saturday the team headed back to the same spot to find an even stronger bite. “We caught lots of teenagers, then we had that 30-pounder hit at 11:00 on a ribbon on the downrigger.” Hines was the angler of the hour as Eldridge directed the Contender and waited with the gaff, and a 30.69 in the bag made for one great day on the water. “It’s normally hard to back it up when you have that first one, but it all worked out,” smiled Eldridge. Don’t let the modesty fool you, Eldridge and Hines are both SKA charter members, this fourth place finish is yet another great title the Square & Level took home to Waycross, Georgia.

Rounding out the top five is the Strictly Fishing, Captain Peter Weisberg’s team out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Captain Peter and Robert Weisberg and Robert and William Kramer only found two fish all weekend, but they managed to make them count. On Friday the Strictly Fishing headed south of Stuart Inlet to work an area in 30 feet of water. Their only king of the day came at 11:05 when a blue fish in the prop wash was smashed and Peter took the rod. The verdict: a 28.66. “On Saturday we decided to fish South Beach off of the power plant,” said Captain Weisberg. Trolling in 27 feet of water the team was immediately rewarded for their choice of spots when a blue fish ten feet down on the rigger was mauled at 7:40. Robert Kramer stepped up to bag the second fish of the tournament for the team. A long day of fishing later that first king was all the team could manage, and at the docks it proved to be their biggest of the weekend, a 30.57 to total 59.23 points.

Captain David Albritton and the Gatorfan team round out the Contender/Yamaha streak with a 54.78-point aggregate. Captain Albritton, Ralph Moody, Jr., James Addison and Anthony Oakes comprise this Port St. Lucie team. They used their local knowledge to score a 23.79 on Friday and then backed it up with a nice 30.99 for the sixth place finish.

The 2006 Dan Schaad Award recipient, the Rew Crew II, is up next. Captain William and Bobbi Rew and Chase and Bryant Carter were awarded this honor at the Captain’s meeting prior to the event for exemplifying the family participation and family values that both Dan Schaad and the SKA hold in the highest regard. The Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida team works hard for every fish they catch on their 21’ Yamaha powered Carolina Skiff, and the perseverance paid off in a big way when they landed a 37.35-pounder on Friday to sit in fifth place overall. The Rews and their grandchildren could only find a 17.05 on Saturday, but that initial 37-pounder still kept them in the seventh spot with a 54.40 total.

Captain Jeff Whelan and the Five O’clock Somewhere team also had a great day one fish. He and Mark Hoover fish a 21’ Yamaha powered Sea Hunt, and they nailed a 39.78 on Friday to sit in third overall going into day two. A 14.51-pounder dropped this Longs, South Carolina team to eighth with a 54.29 two-fish aggregate.

The Southbound has had an incredible year, and a top ten finish in the Nationals has to be a good way to finish it all off. Captain Lon Bryan, Andy Miska, Tyler Eicholz, Ryan Keith and Thomas Cowen fish the Yamaha powered Contender that has won more tournaments and Class wins this year than any other team. The Southbound scaled a smoking 40.63-pound mossback on Saturday, but their 53.03 aggregate was stunted by their 12-pound Friday fish.

The Done Deal rounds out the top ten with a 51.54-point two-fish aggregate. Captain Jack Paczosa and Jason Porter fished the Mercury powered Sea Craft to a nice 33.02-pounder on Friday, but could only add an 18-pounder on Saturday.

Ironically, those two largest Class kings were not only not capitalized upon, they weren’t even added to. Captain Rob Lupola and the Strike Two couldn’t find another king after huge 47.95-pounder and had to settle for 14th place honors. The big 45.27 caught on Captain Sonny Elliott’s Get Wet also went unpaired, awarding the team 17th place overall. It just goes to show you: no matter what happens on day one, dig deep and fish hard and you may just be the next National Champion! Congratulations to all the Class boats that fished in Ft. Pierce, we’ll be seeing you in Biloxi next year.
