The Baltimore Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association Maryland (CCA MD) hosted the second annual Little Havana’s Catch and Release tournament— Rocktober Cup— Saturday, October 10. Fishing began at 5 a.m. with 53 anglers competing. A portion of the proceeds benefit Blue Water Baltimore.
Tony Moreira and Nathan Iager both caught and released a 26 and 3/4-inch Rockfish, but Moreira caught his fish 30 minutes earlier, earning him the first place prize of one-week stay for two in the Florida Keys. For second place, Iager won a one-week stay in Ocean City, MD.
In third place was Mathew Bright with a 23-inch rockfish, which earned him a Engel Deep Blue 35 quart cooler.
There were also four calcutta awards: longest rockfish caught by a male angler, longest rock caught by a female, largest stringer (measured by length of fish) of up to five fish caught by an individual angler, and largest stringer (measured by length of fish) caught by a team. Iager's fish won the calcutta for largest fish by a single angler and the calcutta for the largest personal stringer. Iager, Stephen Arnold, and Andrew Stroter won the calcutta for the longest stringer by a team.
