Ep 27. Fishing Tournament for St. Jude's Children's Hospital

Due to a global pandemic, children's charities have struggled to raise funds during the past year. However, Inside Sportfishing is doing its part to help St. Jude's Children's Hospital by participating in a fishing tournament on their behalf.

Host Randy Toussaint is joined by his friend and fellow fisherman, "Big" Dave Fenney, as they team up to compete against other boats in the tournament. The pair gets to work early in the morning, preparing their gear and discussing their strategy for the day.

As they head out into the Pacific Ocean near Mexico, they are excited to begin fishing for the major species in the area, such as yellowtail and dorado. Along the way, they encounter rough waters, but their passion for fishing keeps them motivated. They even take some time to admire the stunning ocean scenery, including a breathtaking sunset.

As the day progresses, the fishing gets more intense. Dave's experience helps them catch a few nice-sized fish, but the competition is fierce, and they know they need to keep their momentum going if they want to win. Despite facing some setbacks, the team stays focused and determined.

In addition to the main tournament, there is also a "Calcutta" fishing competition. This side event allows competitors to bet on which team will catch the largest fish of the day. Randy and Dave are confident they can win and place their bets.

The tournament draws to a close, and the boats return to shore. The excitement builds as the fish are weighed and counted. Although it was a challenging day, the Inside Sportfishing team's efforts pay off, literally. They win the Calcutta tournament, and their catch puts them in the running for the grand prize.

As the awards ceremony begins, Randy and Dave anxiously await the final results. With a great sense of pride and satisfaction, they learn that their team has placed in the tournament and will be able to donate a significant sum of money to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

The Fishing Tournament for St. Jude's Children's Hospital is a heartwarming episode that showcases how the passion for fishing can bring people together for a worthy cause. It is a testament to the generosity and compassion of the fishing community.
