The Irv Fenton Rockfish Tournament is a month-long event hosted by the Peninsula Salt Water Sport Fisherman’s Association. This tournament is sponsored by Wilcox Bait and Tackle. Participants had the month of December to catch their largest rockfish, weigh it in at any certified weigh station, and get their weigh forms in by January 14. Despite less than stellar striped bass action, there were some nice fish caught.
1st Place: Ken Neill, III: 43 pounds
2nd Place: Dave Wineman: 39 pounds 8 ounces
3rd Place: Charles Southall: 37 pounds 6 ounces
All of the winning fish were caught on live eels. The 2nd place fish was caught at the high rise of the CBBT at night. Both the 1st and 3rd place fish were caught near buoy 40.
