The 16th Annual JCAA Tournament took place on June 12th. 2010. We had another gorgeous day for the tournament and everyone reported having a terrific time. The Tournament had 564 boats competing in 10 ports. We were thrilled to have 564 boats given the present economy, the short time span between the opening of fluke season and the tournament. We were also competing against the greatest striped bass season ever. The largest fish weighed in was 10 lbs at Sandy Hook and was caught by Tom Peter. Pete caught this fish on a Penn rod and reel he won as a door prize in last year’s tournament and it was loaded with spider wire. Congratulations, Pete!
