Police officers Frank Betz and Mike Pettee organized the fourth annual Police Benevolent Association’s charity dolphin fishing tournament off Key West to benefit the Autism Society of the Keys (ASK).
Drawing competitive anglers from 25 boats, and headquartered at Oceans Edge Marina on Stock Island, the tournament raised $25,000 for ASK, topping last year’s total by more than $5,000 and awarding more than $15,000 in cash and prizes.
Winning first place and $7,500 was the Off the Rock team with a 34.30-pound dolphin.
Second place went to Triple J with a 33.28-pound dolphin. No Doubt took third place with a 24.58-pound dolphin.
