Who’s in first place? Well the answer to that question changes often when it comes to holding on to a spot on the Destin Fishing Rodeo leaderboard.

Saturday evening, the daily amberjack leader changed hands five times in the last 90 minutes. The one who finished on top was Scott Mensor of Georgia with a 41.8-pounder. He was fishing aboard the Phoenix with Capt. Scott Robson.

We had two other first place fish come in late.

Kenny Burton, sporting his UT orange shirt, was a bit more lucky than his football team. He landed a 35.2-pound cobia for first place in the cobia division. He was fishing with Capt. Kirk Reynolds on the SS Enterprise.

The last leader to get on the board and the last fish weighed Saturday was a 40.8-pound grouper pulled in by Donna Rice of Alabama. She took over first place in the lady division for the largest grouper on a charter boat. She was fishing with Capt. Kelly Windes on the Sunrise.

The count on fished weighed in at the 59th annual Destin Fishing Rodeo is up to 572.

So “who’s in first” could change just any day.

See you at the docks.
