Five fish last on the leaderboard the entire month of the Rodeo - Destin Log

With 1,093 fish making the leaderboard of the Destin Fishing Rodeo at one time or another during the 31-day fishing tournament, five fish made the board on Day 1 and stayed there the entire month. 

Joni Foster of Destin pulled in a 30.8-pound king mackerel on the Jonilea with Capt. Greg Haeusler for a second-place finish in the Private Boat Division. Her catch was fish No. 10.  

Jerry Harris of Shalimar brought in a 28.6-pound fish on day one for a first-place spot for the largest species in the Paddleboard Division. His fish was entry No. 15. 

Lyman Kerkhof of Gulf Breeze lasted on the board in second place in the Party Boat Division with his 19.8-pound king mackerel caught on the Swoop II with Capt. Nick Price. His catch was No. 18. 

Kevin Moore of Fort Walton Beach reeled in a 3.6-pound mingo on 30A Light Tackle with Capt. Mark Hotze for second in the 25-foot and Under Charter Boat Division. His fish was No. 68.

The first fish of the Rodeo, a 19.2-pound king mackerel, brought in by Nic Roberts on the Destin Inshore Guides, rounds out the fish that made it 31 days. 

Robert's mackerel was the first of 120 king mackerel that made it onto the leaderboard throughout the month, the most entries of any species.

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.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
