Yesterday afternoon, with most fishing on hold, the 78th Annual Alabama Deep Sea Rodeo, renamed “The One that Got Away,” sponsored a “Community Day” with the ever-popular “Liars’ Contest.” Much of the “Community Day” events were enjoyed by children and adults alike. See pictures below (click on pictures for larger, more detailed views).
