CCA Florida has promoted over 25 years of marine conservation, and recently they released 150 tagged redfish in Florida waters – with a chance to win nearly $500,000 in prizes & scholarships.
In order to win, you have to register. Recently two anglers caught tagged redfish – but were not registered – and both were taken home for dinner! Here’s their story from the CCAFLStar Facebook page:
*****BREAKING NEWS!!!******
You might want to sit down for this one.
We had TWO tagged redfish caught yesterday afternoon. TWO!! And NEITHER angler was registered!!
Folks, this is not a drill. These fish are hungry. They are being caught. And people are missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime because they aren’t registered!….Are you registered?
The first tagged fish from yesterday evening was caught in St. Pete. The angler had not heard of CCA or STAR, and the 19″ redfish was harvested for dinner.
Later on in the evening, our second offender strikes….but this time, in Gulf Breeze. This angler was also unaware of the tournament and the rules, and also had his Contender for dinner.
Considering you’re reading this post, it’s safe to say you have heard of us. Do NOT let this happen to you. So tell us again why you haven’t registered??
