Woman ends tarpon drought in Lafourche
The 2016 Golden Meadow-Fourchon Tarpon Rodeo was ruled by the women.
For starters, Larose-based insurance agent Ashley Barrios was the rodeo’s admiral — the first female to garner the honor in the 68-year history of the prestigious event.
And at the weight station, Grand Isle native Monique South stole the show, scoring a championship-winning 88-pound, 10-ounce tarpon to win the rodeo title.
South’s fish ended a four-year drought where there were no tarpons at the rodeo. She said the key to the fish was being patient.
