   Lance Irvine fishing with his son Houston, brother Max Irvine, Freddy Morrison, Max Soto and Charlie Fredrich, on the Young Guns, the Irvine’s Mercury powered Fountain, also started the day fishing way north of Hillsboro Inlet.  This team has done well in the past in Pompano, winning over $100,000 in 2007.  Lance told me that they ran up to the Juno ledge where he had heard of several decent fish caught earlier in the week.  They were able to catch some bonito and a couple 20 pound kingfish but nothing bigger.  About 11:30 Irvine decided to move further north to an area east of Jupiter inlet where they put up a kite and with an offshore breeze drifted east. At around 1:00 the fish turned on and they caught twelve nice kings including their 40.49 pound smoker that ate a goggle eye fished on a kite in 86 feet of water.  Their big fish along with three other kings would earn the Young Guns seventh place in the tournament and a check for $7500.  Houston would take home the Top SKA Junior award as well as the $500 Mercury Scholarship check that goes to the highest finishing SKA junior fishing in a Mercury powered boat.   Lance, who owns Atlantic Boat Rentals in Pompano has fished SKA events for the past several years, is on the Mercury Pro Team and is also sponsored by Raymarine.
