Todd Thomason hauled in a 91.4-pound shark Thursday while fishing on the Gentle Winds. Wishing him well is Miss Destin Kelsie Jacobs.

For the second time in four days, Capt. Greg Marler and the crew aboard the Gentle Winds have landed a shark and brought it to the Rodeo scales for a courtesy weigh.

The one they brought in a little before 6 p.m., caught by Todd Thomason of Indiana, weighed in at 91.4 pounds.

The Gentle Winds also had other fish to weigh. They brought in a 23.8-pound blackfin tuna and a 23-pound barracuda. Neither made it on to the leaderboard, but the 11.6-pound grouper caught by Kevin Johnson of Georgia did - for a daily.

Don’t forget that Saturday is Shark Saturday - when the angler who lands the largest shark of the day takes home $250. The scales are open from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on the docks behind AJ’s.
See you there.
