| Joshua, Crockett and Mark show their winning 47.93# king mackerel |
Our Liquid Fire Fishing Team could not have written a
better script to the beginning of the 2012 king mackerel tournament fishing
season. The advent of a new model from
Intrepid Powerboats and development of relationships with numerous sponsors was
enhanced when our team of; Joshua,
Crockett, Audrey and Mark Henderson, traveled 750 miles from Cape Carteret, NC,
to Sarasota, FL, on May 5, 2012, to participate in the 2nd Annual
NBOA Gulf Coast Open King Mackerel Tournament.
Outfitted with the finest products in the industry, our
team claimed the top spot in the prestigious, Southern Kingfish Association
event with a 47.96-pound king mackerel. In addition to the team’s victory, Crockett
Henderson was the event’s top Junior Angler.
Our team was awarded $12,000, a $10,000 voucher towards a new Contender
and a GOST Nav-Tracker.
“Winning
a respected event like the NBOA Gulf Coast Open was truly special for our
Liquid Fire Fishing Team,” said Mark Henderson captain of Liquid Fire. “Our new
Intrepid 375TE CC Open performed flawlessly! The Sarasota area is home to some
of the greatest king mackerel fishing teams in the world, and it was an honor
and pleasure to be able to compete with them.”
“We
are so fortunate to have such great sponsors who have helped us with this
amazing boat,” said Henderson. “The
technology that our new Simrad NSS12’s provide is unbelievable! We used the structure scan feature to help us
target an area we thought would hold fish.
It lead us directly to the spot, and big mama was there!!”
“Using the Simrad Sirius satellite weather system helped
us make a really good decision to fish a certain area during tournament
day. We were able to pull up the
conditions at our targeted location, 180 miles from check-out, and found that
it wasn’t conducive to our plans. We
turned toward an area we found using the detailed charting system early in the
week and located a great class of fish.”
The
victory was a great start for the Liquid Fire Fishing Team in the quest for its
second Angler of the Year and third Top Pro Junior Angler titles.
