That's right! At the 2006 BackBone Lures 12th annual "Fish 'til You Lose it" 1 jig Fishing Tournament, Capt. Steve Thomas (Islamorada) and Paul Wingrove astonished the competition by catching an unheard of 54 redfish, 2 snook and 20 fun fish. In this tournament each angler is given their choice of 1 BackBone Skimmer Jig. They can add any artificial tips they like but no bait is allowed. Once you lose your jig or it is no longer "fishable" then the competition ends for that angler. Amazing numbers of fish were caught by the 35 boats and over 75 participants in the tournament. Everyone wanted to know what Capt. Steve and Pauls' jig of choice was. Here it is :
