...Mark Henderson's Liquid Fire team is on fire, literally. Mark was thinking about the Tour this year, but didn't decide until Rob Ferris called him and asked if he would come to Key West and fish the new 23' Sea Craft. He agreed and placed tenth.
The Sea Craft factory representives then asked him to fish the boat in Jensen Beach and he agreed. They won. What a gigantic boost for the new 23 Sea Craft. Unfortunately no one else knew of this fantastic season start by a rookie team other than SKA fishermen and certainly the fish ability of the new Sea Craft. Not one word of PR came out of their camp. After doing marketing for some of the most successful boat manufacturers and dealers in the country for over ten years, I can assure you the marketing people at Sea Craft should have been fired! The Hendersons may just be the most marketable people fishing the trail today.
Then came Fourchon. Were they going to take the Sea Craft to Louisiana? The answer in a nutshell, No! So Henderson, Chris Waters, Joshua and Crockett Henderson reverted to their 25-foot Yamaha powered Contender and did ok in the Delta. Good enough to stay in the hunt.
Now comes the fourth leg in St. Simons where the Liquid Fire team picked up a 38.87 and a 29.85 for a second place aggregate of 68.72. Crockett was the Top Junior in the pro event as well as the Golden Isles Kingfish Classic.
"We ordered a new 31T Contender and it should be waiting for us when we get home," said an over appreciative Mark Henderson.
The team has a lot to think about now as they move to the final event. They are in the lead with a seven-fish 256.17-pound aggregate. Unfortunately, they have a 28.51-drop fish they can improve on. They will have to hustle but I wouldn't bet against them!... READ FULL ARTICLE>>> |
