No place to go

It’s almost the end and the count of fish weighed in at the Rodeo is at 726. It’s a bit breezy out, which means big waves — which means there’s no telling how many fish will be weighed today.
However the sun is shining and the scales will be open until 7 p.m., so come on down to the docks behind AJ’s. You never know what might come in.
Late last night we had one of those unusual catches come in.

Couch came walking up with a fish in a bucket. But it wasn’t a flounder or a trout — it was a freshwater bream he caught out at Sandestin.
Rodeo Weighmaster Bruce Cheves put the frisbee-size bream on the scales and it titled at 2 pounds. Now, I’ve caught my fair share of bream, and it certainly was a sight to see.
Even as big as it was, there is no category for bream on the Rodeo leaderboard.
However, the crowd got a charge out of seeing the fish.
