Special To The Current
The boat Teamwork out of Sunset Cay Marina on Folly Beach won the Bohicket Dolphin Tournament recently. Their 56-pound dolphin beat out 91 other boats. While fishing in 340 feet of water a fish hit one of the lines. “Fish on!” Skip Butler grabbed the rod. While fighting the fish another line went off, Pete Girard grabbed that rod. “When it jumped, we knew we had a nice one,” said Girard. But the action did not stop there, as another line went off and Butler’s wife Sandi grabbed that line.
Now with three fish on, Girard’s wife Susan was busy clearing all the lines and getting the cockpit ready for gaffing. All three fish were landed, and the 56 pounder took 45 minutes to get in the boat.
“When Skip gaffed the fish, he turned and said ‘its too heavy,’” recalls Girard. The crew lived up to the boats name as scrambled to get it in the fish box.
“It was a great day on the water with one-foot seas and this husbands and wives team aboard the Team Work, truly worked as a team to land the winning fish,” said Girard.
