Bloopers:
A "Blooper" is something
a ACGFA club member did while engaged in a
fishing, boating, or club related activity. No statutes of limitation except they must be an ACGFA member when the act was committed.. Awards are approved by the "Blooper Committee"
The very first "Blooper" was
awarded to Jim Blalock. He was Black Drum
fishing in the inlet with C.J. Swindull and Don Power. Jim was fishing with
a brand new rod (that he built) and reel. After catching several fish, they
were eating Kentucky Fried Chicken and fishing at the same time. Jim
had a bite while holding the rod in his right hand and a chicken leg in his
left.
He set the hook and grabbed the rod with his (now greasy) left hand.
"Splash" was the sound of the rod and reel as it slipped out of
his hand and
hit the water. Rumor has it that the drum was caught several days later
with the rod and reel still attached. C.J. Swindull and Talmage Skinner
invented and presented the first "Blooper Award" a "beautiful"
old rusty rod
and reel on driftwood with a KFC box attached.
