Happy New Year!

As 2014 comes to a close, the STR board would like to take a moment to thank all of our sponsors and anglers for their continued support. 2014 has been a great year, with the highest tournament participation since 2010. We had a great time at the Captain’s Kickoff Party followed by 10 weeks of competitive catch-and-release tarpon fishing, and we can’t wait to do it all again in 2015!

First and foremost, we’d like to thank the 2014 Sponsors, including Bollman Boating, Gandy Bait & Tackle, Owen & Sons Marine, Pets in the City and Bob Lee’s Tire Company, as well as all our other sponsors.

We would also like to congratulate the 2014 Tournament Division Champions:

• Doubles: Noah Epstein and Kris Stein 43 releases 
• Adult-Child: Brandon Meyer and A.J. Kirkman 45 releases
• Florida Gulf Coast Schools Fishing Club: Kris Stein, Osceola 23 releases

• Overall Womens: Debbie Miller 21 releases
• Landlubber: James Roehm 28 releases
• Overall Tournament Champion: Capt. Bill Miller 36 releases
• Finale Day Champion: Bill Burrows Runner ups: Debbie Miller, Steve Petry

Thank you all for your continued support of the 80th Annual Suncoast Tarpon Roundup, and we wish you the very best in the new year!
