Miller’s 34.56-pounder good enough for top prize
More than 130 bulls were caught Saturday in Caminada Pass, but only one took home the top prize in the Ride the Bull VII Kayak Fishing Tournament on Grand Isle.
Brock Miller, 16, of Baton Rouge, reeled in a 34.56-pounder good enough for first place and a new Wilderness Systems kayak, along with $3,000 in cash and a crystal redfish plaque.
More than 600 anglers registered for the event, and 545 boats eased into Caminada Pass at the 7:30 a.m. shotgun start from Bridge Side Marina and Wake Side Marina.
Bull red action was hectic, and it took a 28-pounder just to crack into the Top 10.
Here are the official results:
1. Brock Miller 34.56
2. Noel France 32.70
3. Elby Champagne 32.38
4. Brad Valtierra 32.24
5. Jeff McNabb 32.04
6. Tammy Hartley 30.42
7. Brittney Jones 29.92
8. Stephen Landaiche 29.90
9. Dustin Breaux 29.42
10. Aaron Breaux 28.76
