Tied for second for the most entries were the mingo and amberjack at 115 each. 

During the month, 74 grouper made it on the board and 54 wahoo. 

The 1,093 fish for the month doesn't include all the fish that were weighed in but missed making the board by just a pound or even an ounce or two. 

Weighmaster Bruce Cheves said this was the most wahoo he recalled ever weighing in at the Rodeo.
