DeFUNIAK SPRINGS When Teance Blackburn leaves in the morning for a fishing tournament, the director announces her boat, saying, “She’s the only girl in the tournament. Thanks for coming out.”
At least that’s how it’s been the past few competitions. The DeFuniak Springs resident competed in Florida B.A.S.S. Nation’s tournament at Black Creek, where she caught two fish and then fished a second tournament at Lake Loch Loosa in Cross Creek, Florida, to qualify for the state tournament. There, she won the Co-Angler division and the Big Bass division with a catch that weighed 7.91 pounds.
