A WORK OF ART BEST AT ECBC

oat owner Art Favre, Capt. Jason Buck, angler Christian Fast and the team aboard won the 20th anniversary Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic, boating the largest blue marlin at 638.7 pounds. It was an accomplishment worth $545,681. “I’ve fished the ECBC since the beginning,” Favre said at the awards brunch. “We were fortunate to win the top release team one time, but this is our first overall win. I’m honored and humbled by it.”
