STAR update:
 

It has been an interesting first few days of the 18th annual STAR Tournament. Just prior to the tournament beginning two of our 50 tagged Redfish were caught and released. And now there is a third! The third was released too, because the lucky angler wasn't signed up yet. More news on this to follow.

Also big news from the West part of the state, Troy Thibodaux of Sulphur landed an 8.16 lb trout this morning in Big Lake. With the help of Elaine Huck of Calcasieu Point Landing, the two weighed the fish, took a few pictures and released the monster back into Big Lake alive. What a great gesture by a great fishermen.

So its not too late to get in on the action, join today!

Leaderboard is up to date except for large trout mentioned above from this morning:

Guy from Texas caught a 8.4 Saturday with a Guide from Heberts and was not in the STAR.....Why people fish this lake and dont enter I will never know.....

I would love to know how many winning fish are missed out on each year

12 something won it last year

When STAR first started, guy on my uncle's boat caught a tagged red and wasn't registered.

Chas..What is the Calcutta again???

Special incentive for anyone wanting to release a trout alive. If Mr. Thibodeaux's fish holds. Not only will he win the grand prize, but he will also win the Calcutta prize for releasing it. Which is a $500 Academy gift card.

Shoulda weighed in my 3.25 flounder

damn big money right there!! I need to just fish every chance i get!

Solid fish being caught.......wind or no wind gotta go to know.

I had a speck that woulda put me on top in the south east and my wife would. Be on the board with a flounder. I guess I will register anything I catch I think will make the boar. You never know.

Solid fish!

Where's the tag at on the redfish and what does it look like

Think its yellow and a number with 2012 cca star on itsback

Here is a pic of what it looks like and where it is at. Tag may be a different color.
