In spite of state and local budget woes, Louisiana Association of Business and Industry President Stephen Waguespack believes that Louisiana is heading in the right direction.

The former advisor to Governor Bobby Jindal shared his vision of the state’s past, present and future economy at the monthly meeting of the Plaquemines Association of Business and Industry at Bayou Barriere Golf Club on February 25.

According to Waguespack, Louisiana spent many years at the mercy of the energy sector’s ups and downs, a sce-nario no doubt familiar to the Plaquemines area business-men in the room. When ener-gy was doing well, the state did well and vice versa.

That all changed with the events of 2005.

“[Hurricane] Katrina forced us to take a good, tough look at ourselves,” said Waguespack. “And we realized we can be whoever the heck we want to be. We can build Louisiana into

what we want to build it into.”The economic boom gen-

erated by the rebuilding pro-cess after Katrina helped move Louisiana away from its depen-dency on the energy sector but, according to Waguespack, it also created a “false econo-my” that rapidly inflated the state’s budget.

“Since 2008, Louisiana is coming back down to Earth. That has felt difficult, with the budget retracting very quickly, but we can do it,” he said.

Waguespack believes that the way forward for Louisiana requires reforming the state’s legal system to make the busi-ness climate more friendly and less litigious, reforming teach-

er and civil service pensions to free money up for the state and reforming the state’s high-er education system to allow administrators to mold their universities and colleges to fit local and state economies.

Waguespack and LABI plan to spend the next year push-ing these issues in the state legislature, with the hopes that they are the right step for-ward for Louisiana’s economy. Waguespack believes his orga-nization’s hands-on approach to crafting policy will help the state continue to grow.

“You see our economy growing,” he said. “We did not drift into a growing econ-omy.”

By Alex [email protected]

It took two and a half days of intense budget review, but the Plaquemines Parish Council has formulated a plan to bring the parish’s inflated budget in line with harsh reve-nue realities.

The price per barrel of Louisiana Light Sweet Crude Oil has declined by almost exactly half in the last six months, from just over $104/barrel in June to just over $52/barrel at press time. This presented a problem for a budget built around revenues from projected oil prices of $96/barrel. Should the price of oil fail to rebound in 2015, the parish is projected to take a $15M hit in oil revenues.

An ordinance that would have brought the parish’s rev-enues and expenditures in line with a projected oil price of $70/barrel had already been offered by District 3 repre-sentative Kirk Lepine prior to the last week’s budget review. The ordinance removed $5M from the General Fund and another $5M from capital improvement projects. It was withdrawn upon the realization that the budget needed another $5M in cuts to be in line with current prices and projected revenues, but the cuts proposed by the ordinance were used as a starting point from which the council need-ed to find an additional $5M.

Last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the council met at the Belle Chasse Library to discuss scaling back their operational budget and capital improvement programs. Directors and representatives of each parish department came before the council and offered up portions of their budgets that they could do without. In addition, council members went line item-by-line item in the parish’s 5 Year Capital Improvements Budget and cut back on infrastruc-ture and construction projects parish-wide.

By mid-day Wednesday, the council had proposed removing $4.7M from the General Fund, $159K from the Road Maintenance Fund, $104K from the Public Health Fund, $130K from the Water & Sewer Fund and $297K from the Fund Balance Designated for Infrastructure. The new cuts totaled $5.1M which, when added to the reductions from the first ordinance, total over $15.2M in cuts from the parish’s $97M budget, when all funds are accounted for.

The single largest cut to any designated project came from the funding for the proposed Eastbank Library. Roughly 14% of the proposed budget cuts came from the complete defunding of the $2.2M project.

Council Chairman Benny Rousselle said he was proud of the “sacrifices that the council members made” in order to pass a budget that will keep the parish financially sol-vent. Rousselle noted the difficulty council members faced when having to balance the need for budget cuts with their own desires to represent the interests of their districts.

“When all was said and done, we got the job done,” said Rousselle.

The council is not allowed to take any action at a budget review. The cuts were compiled and introduced as several separate ordinances at the council meeting last Thursday. The council is expected to vote on implementing the reductions at the next meeting on Thursday, March 12 in Belle Chasse.

After impassioned pleas from several commercial fishermen and other advo-cates, the Plaquemines Parish Council passed a resolution supporting the idea of closing Mardi Gras Pass during the council’s February 26 meeting.

The pass formed on Mardi Gras Day 2012 when water from the Mississippi River finished a gradual process of eroding the land between the Mississippi River and the Back Levee Canal. The pass connects the Mississippi River to the Breton Sound by way of

the Bohemia Spillway and is the “first distributary to develop in the river’s delta in many decades.”

Since forming in 2012, the pass has shown signs of the natural land-build-ing processes that built the Mississippi River delta prior to the leveeing of the river. The pass carries sediment out into the Breton Sound that helps to replenish depleted coastal wetlands. As such, the pass has been held up as an example for supporters of the sediment diversions in the state’s Coastal Master Plan.

The pass comes with its fair share of problems, how-ever. The freshwater infu-

sion into the spillway and sound from the Mississippi River has thrown off the salinity levels in the for-mally disconnected bodies of water, adversely affecting the yields of oyster fisher-men in the area.

It was these fishermen who were out in force at the council meeting.

“I’m about to lock the doors” said Neal Beshel of his dock business, which he says has been struggling since the pass opened. “This is killing our side of the river.”

Beschel was also quick to negate the argument for the pass’ restorative capabilities.

“One little area has built

up land. A storm comes through and that’s gone,” he said. “If they really want to build land, they need to pump sand.”

Louisiana Oystermen Association President Byron Encalade stressed the need to close the pass and do it quickly. Encalade said the oysters could take 3-5 years to reach former produc-tion levels once the pass is closed and struggling fisher-men on the Eastbank don’t have much time left to wait.

“We are already on life support,” said Encalade.

More than $1.2 million was recent-ly awarded to Louisiana for repairs to multiple buildings in Plaquemines Parish as part of the recovery efforts after Hurricane Isaac.

In Plaquemines Parish, the more than $1.2 million in Public Assistance funding covers repairs, the replace-ment of some storm-damaged com-ponents and mitigation measures to protect against future disasters in the following communities:

• Belle Chasse – Belle Chasse Fire Station III; Belle Chasse Government Building ; Belle Chasse Library; Belle Chasse Lockup; Belle Chasse Public Right-of-Way Maintenance Shop; Belle Chasse Water Collection Office; Community Action Agency build-ing; Council on Aging building; the Emergency Management Services Building; and the Recreation North Facility;

• Boothville – Boothville-Venice Elementary School Campus main building, gymnasium and cafeteria;

and the Boothville-Venice Fire Station;• Buras - Buras Auditorium; Buras

Community Center; and the Buras Fire Station;

• Davant – the Percy Griffin Community Center;

State and local lead-ers met February to tour several coastal projects in Plaquemines Parish. Those in attendance were Plaquemines Parish President, Amos Cormier, Jr.; Coastal Zone Management Director, Vincent Frelich; Land Superintendent, Blair Rittiner; HNTB project engineer, David St. Marie; Chairman of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana (CPRA), Chip Kline; State

Representative, Chris Leopold; Executive Director of CPRA, Kyle Graham; and Deputy Executive Director of CPRA, Jason Lanclos.

The group gathered to discuss coastal restoration’s importance in Plaquemines Parish. The group visited some of the New Orleans to Venice (NOV) projects cur-rently under construction in Plaquemines. There was also discussion to attempt to pro-pose the east and west bank levees being placed into the

state’s master plan. The par-ticipants then took site tours and boat tours at the Lake Hermitage Marsh Creation project and the Bayou Dupont Sediment Delivery System.

Plaquemines Parish had approximately 15 to 20 projects submitted for the update of the CPRA Master Plan that have made the cut for further evaluation in the next phase of the update. Plaquemines Parish has more than any other par-ish combined. This showed how dedicated the parish is to coastal restoration and getting projects done in the area. Karim Belhadjali is the

Deputy Chief at the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana (CPRA) and is working close-ly with the master plan update.

“The state expects to accept a plan to increase the risk reduction properties of the Oakville to LaReussite back levee on the West Bank of Plaquemines Parish, which the corps is building as a non-federal project that will not meet the federal standard of protecting from surges caused by hurricanes with a 1 percent chance of happening each year, the so-called 100-year storm. The state would propose

finding money elsewhere to raise that levee to the 100-year standard as part of the master plan update,” Belhadjali said.

Through Plaquemines Parish’s efforts to have these projects consid-ered for the state master plan, it shows the state’s commitment to seeing Plaquemines Parish restore our coast and their ded-ication to working with Plaquemines Parish.

“Coastal restoration is a major part of our par-ish’s efforts to protect the most vulnerable areas of Plaquemines,” said Plaquemines Parish

President Amos Cormier, Jr. “By having all these par-ties working together we are showing concerned citizens that Plaquemines Parish is here to stay.”

“Just as past residents have persevered through difficult circumstances, the future residents because of the traditions alive and pres-ent here will do the same,” he said.

organization that advocates on behalf of commercial fish-ermen claimed that oyster production in the area immedi-ately affected by the pass was down as much as 72%. He also accused state officials and environmental advocates of incorrectly treating the breach as something it’s not.

“Mardi Gras Pass has been treated like a coastal resto-ration project and a navigational waterway when it is not. It shouldn’t be treated as such and should be closed off,” said Ricks.

The resolution even drew support from representatives of other parishes. St. Bernard Parish Council Chairman George Cavignac urged the Plaquemines councilmembers to take a stand not only against the natural sediment diversion created a Mardi Gras pass, but all freshwater diversions.

The council expressed their support, but several mem-bers noted that the parish’s tight budget would likely keep them from taking any action to close the pass.

District 1 representative John Barthelemy, who offered the resolution and whose district is composed of the entire Eastbank of Plaquemines Parish, noted the budget con-straints. But he added that something needed to be done to protect an industry that is historically and economical-ly important to his district.

“This industry used to give us the opportunity to employ young men. It allowed communities to thrive and support their families,” Barthelemy said. “I understand the budget. I suffered for the budget. But we’re asking that you help us restore a way of life.”

For now, Mardi Gras Pass will remain open. Though the resolution passed unanimously, it merely expresses “the sense of the Plaquemines Parish Council that it is in the best interest of the people of this Parish and State to close Mardi Gras Pass.” At this time, there are no plans to close the pass.

On Sunday, February 22, shortly after 4 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop B investigated a fatal crash on Highway 39 at Gibbons St. (mile post 31.3). The crash claimed the life of 25-year-old Corey Smith of New Orleans.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Smith was operating a 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa at a high rate of speed on Highway 39 south. As the motorcycle continued southbound, Smith failed to negotiate a right curve in the roadway crossing the northbound lane and running off road to the left. As the Suzuki left the paved roadway, it struck a warning signal connected to a metal pole and a concrete culvert before coming to rest. Smith was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash; however, was ejected from the motorcycle and transported to Ochsner Medical Center Westbank where he was pronounced dead.

Investigating Troopers believe high speed was a con-tributing factor in the crash. Impairment is unknown at this time pending the completion of an autopsy.

Troopers continue to investigate high speed fatal crashes across the state. Speed limits are in effect for the safety of the motorists on the roadways. Louisiana law requires that all speed limits are followed and if you witness reckless driving or hazardous conditions please call *LSP (*577) to report that activity to the Louisiana State Police.

Al Saucier, expert on Gulf Coast moon-shining will be the guest speaker at the Tuesday, March 3, meeting at the Belle Chasse American Legion Hall. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.

Saucier, a Louisiana resi-dent, is the author of seven books on moonshining. Saucier spins an engaging story of moonshining being historically his family busi-ness. His ancestor, Sgt. Jean Baptist Saucier, came to the new world with Iberville and Bienville in 1699. Sgt. Saucier made moonshine for his fellow soldiers for medic-inal and recreational use. Every soldier was required to carry the clear corn/rye whiskey. The Saucier and associated families contin-ued to make moonshine for almost 300 years supplying not to just the entire Gulf Coast, but nation-wide and

into Europe. He spins many amusing stories of how boot-leggers interacted with law enforcement, bankers, etc.

His stories of great success-es and miserable failures of moonshiners working with and escaping from the G

men are entertaining and often surprising.

The program is free and the public is invited.

Moonshining is Topic of Historical Meeting on Mar. 3

Moonshining activities have covered the United States the past 300 years. On March 3, guest speaker Al Saucier will engage with attendees and tell his story of moonshining being historically his family business.

In response to the recent increase and still unfold-ing developments centered around fraudulent tax returns filed across the country, the Louisiana Department of Revenue announced today that the Department is taking extra precautions to verify the filings and refunds of taxpay-ers and will extend the date to begin issuing refunds by one week, until the week of March 2.

"Given the increase in the filing of fraudulent tax returns around the country, where criminals are stealing identi-ties and claiming refunds in others' names, we decided to implement additional security measures this year to ensure we detect any suspicious activity, and to protect the identities of our taxpayers," said Secretary of Revenue Tim

Barfield.The extended period will

provide the Department with more time to closely review returns and to utilize its iden-tification verification pro-cess for individual taxpayers when and if inconsistencies in returns are identified.

While identity-based tax refund fraud is still a rela-tively new problem for rev-enue departments in the 43 states where taxpayers file tax returns, the Department of Revenue is ahead of the curve. Over the past two years, LDR has prevented over $11 mil-lion in fraudulent tax refunds from going out the door. Also, through a joint anti-fraud ini-tiative with the state Attorney General's office, 40 people have been arrested for fraud-ulent activity.

"We recognize that this sit-

uation places an undeserved burden on the thousands of taxpayers who consistently do the right thing. It is unfortu-nate that at this time the good taxpayers will suffer for those who have chosen to be crim-inals," added Barfield. "This is the very reason why the Department of Revenue must do all that we can to safeguard our taxpayers against this type of fraudulent activity."

Taxpayers who have con-cerns about the security of their personal information provided to any third party tax preparation software ven-dor should contact that ven-dor immediately.

Taxpayers who have a reason to believe they may be a victim of identi-ty theft can contact LDR's Criminal Investigations Division on its fraud hotline

at 1.866.940.7053. They can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/complaint.

LDR began accept-ing returns on Jan. 20, and was originally scheduled to begin issuing returns on Tuesday, Feb. 24. To date, the Department has received 664,956 electronic returns. On average, the Dept. processes 1.9 million electronic returns during the tax filing season. The backlog of refund requests received is expected to take a week to complete process-ing. Once the Department is current, normal processing times of 21 days for electronic returns and 10 weeks for paper returns can be expected. ¬†

I am writing this letter to thank Deputy Joey Rees for his wonderful and caring help he extended me, Patsy Joy McCabe. Recently when due to heavy rains, I had trouble seeing a highway turn lane entrance and got stuck in some mud. A passing motorist stopped and called 911 and waited with me until Deputy Rees arrived. When the Deputy arrived, he called the tow truck and once I was cleared, he insisted on seeing me home safely. He stayed at my driveway until I was at my garage. When I thanked him, he simply replied, “It is my job.” The way he looked after me was more than his job. He showed concern, for which I am truly grateful. I would like this letter to be placed in his file along with a copy for him. Because of young men like him, I feel blessed to live in Plaquemines Parish.

Sincerely, Patsy Joy McCabe of Jesuit Bend

Sheriff Lonnie Greco is informing the public that Plaquemines Parish res-idents have been receiv-ing calls from scammers about their Entergy bill. Below is what the public should be do if you re-ceive such a call. If you have been a victim of this crime, please make a re-port with the PPSO.

1. What is the national utility phone scam?

Across the country, util-ity customers are receiv-ing calls from unspecified individuals claiming to be members of the local utility and threatening to discon-nect the customer’s elec-trical services if he or she does not make an immedi-ate payment on a past due bill. They then direct the customer to transfer funds electronically, sometimes through money wiring sys-tems or pre-paid cards.

The callers often use so-phisticated spoofing tech-nology to replicate the local utility’s name and number on the customer’s

caller ID box, making it particularly difficult for the customer to spot this scam.

2. What should you do if you receive one of these calls?

Entergy NEVER de-mands immediate pay-ment from customers over the phone. You shouldn't give your personal infor-mation to strangers. If a call sounds suspicious, hang-up and call 1.800.EN-TERGY (1.800.368.3749) to speak directly with an En-tergy customer service rep-resentative.

If you believe you are a victim of this scam, you should notify the proper authorities, such as your lo-cal law enforcement agen-cy or the state Attorney General's Office.

3. How can I monitor and/or pay my Entergy bill?

You should only use au-thorized methods and legit-imate banking information to pay your Entergy bill. Entergy offers several con-venient ways:

Pay online - myAccount. For no additional charge, conveniently pay your bill online by electronic check. Log in securely to myAc-count to view and pay your bills.

Pay by phone - Pay your bill by credit card, debit card or electronic check by calling 1.800.584.1241. Bill-Matrix, our pay-by-phone provider, will charge a $2.95 service fee. BILLMATRIX is the only authorized credit card vendor authorized to process these types of pay-ments.

Pay by credit/debit card - Pay your bill with a credit card, debit card or electronic check by phone (1.800.584.1241) or through the BillMatrix web-site, for a $2.95 service fee.

Walk-in payment cen-ters - Pay your bill in person with cash, check or money order at one of the autho-rized Quick Payment Cen-ters in your community. A convenience fee may apply (New Orleans only).

Auto pay bank draft - Au-tomatically deduct your bill

payment from your check-ing account each month. We'll mail a monthly bill-ing statement to you for your records, showing the bill amount and bank draft date.

Pay by mail - Send check by U.S. Mail to the remit-tance address shown on your bill.

4. How to protect your business from fraudulent claims?

Inform your employees and provide instructions for dealing with these calls. The methods that the con artists are using continue to evolve making it difficult to track and stop. Your best defense is a good proactive offense.

5. What areas and/or businesses are affected by the scam?

Small businesses are currently the prima-ry target, however over the years the scam has evolved to target multiple segments of the general population.

OUTDOORSAs I type this article it’s January. Pretty

soon a big majority of our outdoor events are going to come to a screeching halt. Sure, today I was coyote and crow hunting and waterfowl hunting will be going on a little bit longer but as a whole, things will get slow.

What’s a guy to do? Ha, that’s easy, have a Wildgame Feed! Around where I live there are a lot of them from January up until March. A lot of the Churches here have them as an outreach as well as some of the bowhunting clubs and fishing clubs. I’ve attended a lot of them and given talks or seminars at a bunch.

I love them. What’s not to love? There’s good food, you’re around outdoorsmen, there’ll be a good speaker and probably a lot of good props and raffles. Many of the local businesses donate items to be raffled off. I’d encourage you to put on one if there’s none in your area.

The sky is the limit as far as options. Here are a few variations that I’ve seen but again, tailor make it to your desires.

FoodThey’re potluck. Any wild game is open.

If a non-hunter comes, tell them to bring a domestic dish. A-J brings a salad and K-Z brings a dessert. Some charge a couple of bucks to cover paper plates, drinks and silverware and some charge more as a fund raiser or to pay to bring in a big name speaker.

LocationOf course this is dependent on the size of

your crowd but I’ve seen them in Churches, 4-H buildings on up to renting bigger ven-ues.

DecorMost of them will have some of their

members bring mounts, old bows, pictures or anything else outdoorsy to provide a good setting. The one my Church put on January 30 had some little mini seminars/displays set up for everyone to enjoy before the actual event started.

Local gunsmith Jim Combe had a table set up with a collection of old Winchesters and old traps. Shawn Lee was out front with some packhorses loaded down and explained how to pack with a horse. I had a Knife Sharpening demo table and Robert Martin had an Archery demo table set up.

SpeakersThe sky is the limit as far as to whom

you have speak but all of them have a guest speaker. Most will have a local expert give a talk. This year we’re having local gunsmith Ed Sweet give the talk. He has a lot of expe-rience and gives an interesting talk. Many times they just give a talk and many times they conduct a seminar of sorts.

I’ve also seen some events that hired a big name and flew them in. This is expen-sive but can draw in more people. You have to decide which route you want to go but usually there are plenty of locals that are actually the experts on hunting/fishing in your locale.

I said that they all have guest speakers. I guess I did attend the Black Canyon Bow hunters Wildgame Feed one year and they did something unique. After dinner every-one took 2-4 minutes and told that years hunting story. At the end one guy got up and told how he had shot a world record bear. As they went up to get it a bright shone down and a flying saucer beamed it up and that’s why he didn’t have any pic-tures. He looked around and said true story and sat down. The President of the club then got up and said “and with that story I think we’re done for the night” and we all went home.

ActivitiesLike I say, some of them will have mini

seminars set-up before the real event kicks off, then you eat, then the speaker talks and then they’ll have a raffle. I’ve also seen them conduct a short Kid’s Calling contest or a picture contest (everyone brings a picture and people vote on the best one). Sometimes someone plays some music or a video while the food is being served.

You could even do something like this on a smaller scale with just the guys in your hunting camp. Or I guess if you’re a real introvert you can just have a Wildgame Feed by yourself!

WILDGAME FEEDS

Yellowfin tuna are found across the Gulf of Mexico. However, Louisiana is the undisputed leader in both size and numbers. Seasoned anglers and captains travel from all over the world to get in on the near-limitless action. From footballs to compact cars, Venice, Louisiana, has the tuna you want– whenever you want them.

What makes this area so spe-cial for yellowfin? The myri-ad of oil and gas production platforms acts as vast artificial reefs that sustain complete eco-systems and provide habitat for virtually every creature that lives in the Gulf. Be it the fixed platforms in hundreds of feet of water or the gargantuan “floater” rigs that are anchored in thousands of feet off the continental shelf, these struc-tures serve the dual purpose of fueling our nation and the Gulf’s fisheries.

However, the rigs are not the only life attracting features off the Louisiana coast. The Gulf floor is flush with many sea mounts caused by the uprising of salt domes as well as large expanses of live bottom and ledges. Throw in some wrecks and reefs and you have a tuna factory that produces like no other.

There’s no one single meth-od of catching tuna off the coast of Louisiana– it’s multi-di-mensional. Trolling, drifting and chunking live and natural baits are all proven methods to ensure fat yellowfin filling the fish box. Artificial lures work well also.

Captain Peace Marvel (yes, there really is a “Captain Marvel”) of Peacekeeper Charters is world renown as a tuna fishing icon. If you’re talking tuna, all you have to say is “Peace” and everyone knows who you’re talking about. Many of the varied methods of catching tuna in the Gulf were either created or refined by Peace. He is a perfectionist, fanatic, comic and stern teach-er, all rolled into one.

A recent trip to Venice start-ed with five anglers and a deck hand boarding the captain’s big center console catamaran named Peacekeeper. As the boat was backed away from the Venice Marina fuel dock, one of the anglers remarked; Where’s Peace? “He’ll be the last one here,” remarked Russ Pylant, our deck hand for the

day. The boat was moved to a less crowded section of the dock. Out of the darkness, Peace, hopped on board like the rock star he is. No confetti, no spotlights or fireworks, but the anglers were stoked to be in the presence of the one and only Peace.

Idling through the no wake zone of the marina, Peace joked with a few of the other charter captains about prior catches and the day’s expectations. As the group turned towards the river, the other boats powered away, but ours was put into neu-tral. “Gather around and grab hold to the boat,” Peace request-ed. Bunched up around the con-sole, everyone had a firm grip on the metal bars of the T-Top. It quickly became obvious that, as many mariners do, Peace was about to say a prayer before our trip. Thinking that the part about holding onto the boat was to provide some spiritual con-nection to the vessel, we would soon learn otherwise.

Out of the silence, Peace said these solemn words: “God, please forgive these guys for the slaughter they are about to com-mit.” He immediately nailed the throttles and our trip had begun. We now understood the real reason we were told to hold on.

We travelled twenty-some-thing miles down the Mississippi before entering the Gulf and then another thirty or so to our first spot. We pulled behind a working double-rigger shrimp boat pulling its trawls. Peace is well aware that the tuna follow these boats like deer coming to a feeder. They are there to get fish and creatures that escape the net and to feast on the by-catch when the bounty is sorted.

Peace expertly maneuvered our boat just a few feet astern of the shrimper without causing any problems. These shrimpers are working and don’t take kind-ly to anglers that interfere with their operations; or worse yet, cause problems with their gear.

The goal was to deploy chum and attract tuna from the shrimp boat to ours. Peace gave the sig-nal and Russ started methodi-cally hurling by catch into the shrimpers wheel-wash.

The anglers gazed into the water looking for tuna. Instantaneously, bonita began slashing and crashing at the chum. Then, with his super-pow-

er eyes, Captain Marvel spotted tuna below. Just enough chum was deployed to get the tuna to stay near our boat as the engines were slowed to allow the shrimp boat to pull away. A pre-rigged mullet was pulled from the live well and free-lined into the melee.

It didn’t take long. A 50 pound yellowfin tuna inhaled the mullet and the reel start-ed screaming. First up was Dustin Schouest, a tuna virgin. He strapped on a fighting belt and grabbed hold of the rod. It didn’t take long for Dustin to realize that everything he’s heard about yellowfin is true—and then some. After a gruel-ing 20-minute battle, Dustin was more exhausted than the tuna, but managed to get it near enough for Peace to sink a gaff. The first meat of the day was onboard. Much like the ritual of applying blood to a hunter’s face when they take their first deer, Peace imparts two bloody handprints on that anglers chest after their first tuna hits the deck.

We ran to catch up with the shrimp boat and the process was repeated several times. Two more tuna virgins would get their first, and Peace’s mark of success. Vlad Moldoveanu was next to get marked, fol-lowed by Jay Rhodes. Kneeling on deck, Peace made sure his hands were fully “inked” before gleefully tattooing Vlad’s chest with two per-fectly outlined prints. Tuna fishing is a bloody operation. Yellowfin have large hearts (both literally and figurative-ly) and they expel copious amounts of blood when they are gaffed. The bloody hand prints are both a right of pas-sage as well as an homage to the magnificent beast that just gave its life.

Denis Soignier was next to battle one of the beasts. He’s caught tuna before and needed no mark. A tuna battle can make a grown man cry. Screaming runs followed by the “death spiral” will cause pain in mus-cles you d o n ’ t e v e n know

you have. Peace constantly barks orders during the fight and you are well advised to heed them. They come from experience, they come from knowledge and most impor-tantly, they come from the heart. He knows what it takes to successfully hook and land a tuna and that’s his singular focus. He tells you that he will yell, he tells you that you will listen. He then tells you that if you get your feelings hurt, it will be “hugged out later.” When your big yellowfin hits the deck, you’ll scream, rejoice and collapse.

When the shrimp boat action slowed, Peace moved to start drifting over a nearby sea mount. Russ cut chunks of fresh bonita and tossed them over at Peace’s direc-tion. The anglers took turns free-lining a similar chunk that was attached to a hook. For the next several hours, a mix of sbonita, hammer-head sharks, amberjack, king mackerel, blackfin and yel-lowfin tuna all fell victim to the chunk of chum with the hidden surprise.

The reels would scream and so would Peace—LOCK AND REEL, LOCK AND REEL.

With the giant fish box overflowing, the anglers gave in before the fish did. Each had fought and landed multiple fish- it was time to head north—back to Venice, the Fishing Capitol of the World.

Sorry,

Charlie...

nearly as tall as Dustin.

Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.

SELECTION PROCESSThis scholarship program is administered by Scholarship Management Services®, a division of Scholarship America®.
