2025 Cheeca Lodge Presidential: Robin Hall Earns Top Female Angler Honors

The 2025 Cheeca Lodge Presidential Sailfish Tournament saw Team Dirty Boat 2.0 continue our legacy of tournament excellence. With Captain Kit Carson guiding the 38.8’ Liberty and mate Chad Pruitt working the deck, we added another 100 points to our championship resume, with angler Robin Hall earning Top Female Angler honors.

The Top Female Angler Moment: January 19, 2025 - 9:24 AM

At 9:24 AM on January 19th, angler Robin Hall connected with a perfect Sailfish that would secure our tournament score and earn her Top Female Angler recognition. The fight was textbook—steady pressure, perfect circle hook placement, and a clean release that earned us the full 100 points.

This catch wasn’t just another fish—it was a standout performance that earned individual recognition in a competitive field. While other teams struggled with the conditions, our crew operated with the precision that comes from years of fishing together.
