Salty Girl of the Week: Jazmine Evans



Salty Girl of the Week: Jazmine Evans

Jazmine Evans from Melfa, Virginia is our Salty Girl of the Week! Jazmine who is only 10 years old is a seasoned fisherwoman! Her favorite boat to fish on is her parent’s 33' Bertram, “White Bite” out of Wachapreague, Virginia. Jazmine’s dad, Wayne runs the boat and her mom, Kate, is the mate. Jazmine’s favorite memory of fishing is when she caught her very first white marlin when she was only 7  years old.

Jazmine also likes to fish with Bobby McGuinness in Golfito, Costa Rica. You can always find Jazmine fishing offshore in the canyons but she also enjoys flounder fishing with her dad on their small boat. Jazmine fishes with her own custom rods with a TLD 25.  Her most unusual catch was a Pacific Jack Crevalle that she caught on April 3, 2010, in Golfito with Bobby McGuinness and his daughter, Jimena, and her family. They were world record fishing and Jazmine got an IGFA world record Pacific Jack Crevalle. (Note: This is Jazmine’s second world record).

Jazmine has a lot of trophies for an array of different fish that she has caught from the Eastern Shore Anglers Club. Her favorite tournament to fish in is the Eastern Shore Marlin Club's Annual Billfish Release tournament every July. She also has wooden citations from the state of Virginia for her fishing achievements. Jazmine has a world record from the IGFA for a 39.12 lb bluefin tuna that she caught on July 10, 2009 and for a 17.0lb Pacific Jack Crevalle that she caught on April 3, 2010. She is waiting to hear back from the IGFA for the 53.4lb bluefin tuna that she caught on July 11, 2010.

Jazmine loves eating lettuce while she is fishing (this is Saltwater Style’s very FIRST lettuce eater for the Salty Girl of the Week! Way to Go Jazmine!) She loves to catch flounder and dolphin and her favorite release fish is White Marlin. Jazmine's tip to share is to have some patience while fishing. She really likes it that everything can change in just one little second!!
