Thomason and Ordes lead Walmart FLW Redfish Series Championship in Biloxi

30.Oct.2008

BILOXI, Miss. (Oct. 30, 2008) – Captain Charlie Thomason of Covington, La., and Britt Ordes of Slidell, La., caught a two-redfish limit weighing 17 pounds, 11 ounces to lead day one of the Walmart FLW® Redfish Series Championship in Biloxi, Miss., where teams are competing for as much as $100,000.
“We made a run straight across to Hopedale, La.,” said Thomason, who is fishing in his first FLW Redfish Series Championship. “We stopped and fished right next to the Reggio launch. We were within casting distance of it.”
Thomason said the southwest run took 1 hour and 40 minutes, but turned out to be worth the time and effort, as the team landed four redfish, including their biggest of their two weigh...

The only thing they didn’t have was tickets to fish the CCA Louisiana S.T.A.R., costing the New Orleans native and life-long angler a chance to have a brand new Chevrolet Silverado to tow their new boat.

“My girlfriend helped me land the fish and made a comment about how pretty it was and that it had a red tag along the dorsal fin,” LaCoste said. “I wish I had known about the tournament and had registered for the S.T.A.R., especially since the truck I’m driving right now...
