On June 24, 1988 I weighed in an Amberjack at Davis Fish Company on the MHC waterfront that weighed 66 pounds. It was my first NC Citation. Since that day I've been collecting them. The 10 lb 5 oz Sheepshead that I caught on July 26 was my 366th Citation. A total of 28 different species are represented in my collection. In the spring of 2008 NCDMF made a few changes in the Citation Program. A few species were added, one species was dropped and some minimum weights were changed. If these new rules had gone into affect sooner, I estimate that I'd be well over 400 total citations and I'd have 33 species represented! These numbers do not count what my clients and guests have caught through the years.
