Thirty anglers received awards for prize-winning fish caught off the beautiful beaches of Island Beach State Park, but the grand prize went to Gene Brendel of Nutley, NJ for catching a 32-inch striped bass. Mr. Brendel received a plaque along with two rod and reel combos, and will have his name engraved on the Governor's Cup, which is permanently displayed at the park.
Overall fish length determined the grand prize winner, as well as place winners for each of the species categories. This year there were winning fish tied in length in two categories; tournament rules dictate that the first-caught and checked-in fish places higher. There were categories for children, teen and adult anglers, including sub-categories for male and female anglers.
The event was sponsored by the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife and Division of Parks and Forestry, the New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, the Jersey Coast Anglers Association, and the New Jersey Beach Buggy Association.

I was judging it but was to tired to wait till the end to find out all the results. If I had to venture a guess I would say that a striper caught up at Gillkins was the winner. I was told it was 34" or there abouts.
The junior division I was told was won by a 14 year old female with a striper of 30". I will have to wait till the results are all out myself and read about it in the paper.
They had a great turnout as usual.

I was told it was 34' or there abouts.
Nice cfzd A 34ft striper
Sorry i know you're tired and it's a typo, but it was funny
-
I think we wold all like to see a 34 foot striper cfzd

Fixed... ;D
Nighty Night... grtn

I'm surprised there isn't a website that would have the results up same day. Rod? ;D
-
I will try and get the results but it is all tabulated and run by NJDEP so now you know why it is always late. The only way to get the results right a way is to be there writing down all categories for your self. After being there on site from 4:15AM till 2:00PM I am not interested in who won all I want to do is go home and sleep.
I do have a few pictures I will be putting up soon though.
-
We're going to have to change that next year t^
Remind me ;D
-
i herd lots of blues were caught bait all over figures when i cant make it the fish bite all three time i went it was slim pickings but still managed to place two years in a row
-
Gotcha Rod, Maybe we could have a booth there next year. I would be up for that... t^ grtn
No other site is represented and there is always a good crowd around.
