Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo starts with repeat win in Liars Contest by Thompson - al.com: "DAUPHIN ISLAND — President Barack Obama could never have imagined that his nomination of a Bayou La Batre doctor to be the country's next surgeon general would have inspired the winning lie during the Liars Contest Thursday at the 77th Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo.

It did.

The use of the timely news of the likely change of address for the bayou's Dr. Regina Benjamin grabbed the crowd's attention as well as the judges' and allowed John Michael 'Capt. T-Bone' Thompson to defend his crown as the best liar. It was also his third best-liar title in the seven years that he's competed."
