Some might argue -- Some might argue - at great personal peril - that New York Jets kicker Jay Feely, formerly of the Dolphins, opted to go with the better team. But there's no argument Feely made the right pick among fishing teams Wednesday in the inaugural Super Celebrity Fishing Classic in Miami.
Feely weighed the largest fish of the contest -- a 33.4-pound kingfish -- aboard Wound Up owned by Miami's Warren Sands and skippered by captain John Louie Dudas.
``I was lucky to be put on the right boat,'' Feely said. ``My first tournament. Maybe I'll have to do some more.''
The only football celebrity who came close to Feely's achievement was Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, formerly of the Buffalo Bills and University of Miami. Kelly caught and released one of four sailfish aboard the private boat Weez in the Keys owned by Scott Robins of Islamorada.
Plan B, skippered by captain Randy Towe of Islamorada, was named top boat in the fleet of 27, weighing one kingfish and three blackfin tuna totaling 60.95 pounds. Towe teamed with South Florida television fishing host captain Rick Murphy, Murphy's wife, Kathy, and sons Ridge, 13, and Collin, 10, to win $2,550.
The tournament, which included a fundraising banquet and auction Monday night in Dania Beach, honored former NFL players Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith and former University of South Florida player William Bleakley, who were swept away after their boat capsized in rough Gulf seas during a fishing trip in February 2009. Nick Schuyler, a former USF player, was the lone survivor.
