What happened to the WINNER of the marlin fishing tournament in Big Rock?
Seems the winning fisherman forgot something. He forgot to get a license.
The prize was $912,825.
The license was $15.
That one little slip up cost them almost a million dollars.
Aw, the agony…..
The fishing laws in Florida changed this month. Yes, now you need additional licensing.
Want to head over to the beach and toss in a line? You need a shoreline fishing license. (Around $9)
Want to take your little boat out and sink in a line? You need a regular saltwater fishing license. ($17)
Home on leave? YOU GET TO FISH FOR FREE!
Fishing in your own county? YOU GET TO FISH FOR FREE, provided you use live or natural bait, on a line or pole without a line retrieval system) You get a line, I’ll get a pole…
Going to fish from a pier? You need a license for that too.
Short term and annual non-resident fishing licenses are available for tourists at a cost of $47.
