Team Hooligan Wins FLW King Event in Dramatic Finale
 Team Hooligan of Sunset Beach, NC closed out Day 3 of the Southport FLW King Tournament event with a 32-pound, 6-ounce king mackerel, a $70,000 check, and a win so dramatic it could have been written for Hollywood. After nothing on Day 1, Team Hooligan fished without their captain on Day 2 and caught a 35-pound, 14-ounce king to leap into third place. On the final day of fishing Captain Joe Winslow rejoined his team and decided to make the 130 mile trip to the east side of Cape Lookout looking for one big king. Team Hooligan had fished all day with no luck and had all but given up hope when they hooked up with a 32-pound, 6-ounce king on a live menhaden. After boating the king, they headed south and battled 8 foot seas all the way back to Southport. With only 2 miles to the weigh station and a deadline that was quickly approaching, one of their engines ran out of gas. Team Hooligan end up being 11 minutes late to weigh in but their catch was heavy enough to withstand the 11 pound weight deduction penalty with just 3 pounds to spare. Team Nailhead ended up with $35,000 and second place and Team Kellogg's finished in 3rd with $20,500. More on Day 3 and Team Hooligan's dramatic win is available from FLW's website.
