GRAND ISLE -- Chris Mielsch was foiled twice Thursday on the first day of the 83rd annual International Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo.
When Mielsch's boat, Silver King Adventures No. 4, pulled up to the wharf at the Sand Dollar Marina, the crowd standing around the scales could see the Galveston, Texas, resident had a tarpon on board.
Mielsch was poised to win a trophy for being the first angler to bring a silver king to shore.
But less than five minutes after his tarpon was weighed in at 130 pounds, 3 ounces, Mielsch's brother, Robby, entered the harbor with a tarpon.
