Terry,
I went by the Rodeo brochure, here are the fish eligible for the Spearfishing Division:
Amberjack
Barracuda
Cobia
Grouper
Jack Crevealle
Mangrove Snapper
Red Snapper
Spadefish
Sheepshead
Triggerfish
There is a first, second and third place for the above.

There are also trophies for King Spearfisherman, Outstanding Skin Diver, Outstanding Club.
I called Otis Pitre, and was told the ineligible species in Spearfishing Division are Goliath Grouper, Redfish, All Sharks and Tarpons under 60 lbs.

There will be a miscellaneous category in the Spearfishing Division with a first, second and third place winner.

Any further questions, email me.
