When Justin Turner, left, and Luke Myer first weighed these fish on the last day of the 79th Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo, they were entered as the first- and third-place pompano. Upon some further discussion among rodeo judges, it was determined the fish were actually permit, the first that Chief Rodeo Judge Dr. Bob Shipp had seen in his 30 years at the scales. Since only one specimen could be entered for Most Unusual consideration and Myers caught his fish first, he ended up claiming third place in the category. (Press-Register/Jeff Dute)
