The Flora-Bama’s annual Interstate Mullet Toss got off to a picture-perfect start on Friday, with hundreds of patrons lining up for their turn to pluck a dead fish out of a cooler and hurl it down a course bisected, somewhere, by a state line.
The clear sky and gently rippling Gulf surf had certainly not been the case the day before, as storms made it a challenge to prepare the course and the related trappings of the “Gulf Coast’s Biggest Beach Party.”
However, since children hadn’t lined up to sign up, the first competitors were Tyra Hargis, Sue Massengill and Lisa Derryberry, three ladies who said they’d traveled from Chattanooga specifically to take part in the “Mullet Festival.” Hargis made the first throw of the day, a respectable 39 feet, 3 inches.
From there on, business was steady as a lineup ranging from toddlers to senior citizens stepped up to take their turns. Many threw far shorter than Hargis’ mark. A few showed themselves to be of championship caliber.
