Everyone knows Myrt for golf.

The tee times. The shortcuts. The local secrets.

But before he became the unofficial mayor of Myrtle Beach golf, he was briefly—and completely by accident—a fishing legend.

On June 3, 1987, Myrt hopped aboard a boat called Click Bait with a sandwich, two cold beers, and a tee time later that afternoon.

Three miles offshore, he told the captain, “No need to go farther. Got a feeling.”

At 8:17 AM, something hammered his line.

Forty-two minutes later, they landed what became the largest flounder ever caught off the South Carolina coast: 22 pounds, 5 ounces.

Flat as a welcome mat.

Wide as a screen door.

The size, according to the newspaper the next morning, of “an El Camino.”

By noon, the fish was on ice.

By 1:30, Myrt made his tee time.

By 4:45, he was back to giving golf advice.

Today, if you ask him about the record catch, he’ll just shrug and say:

“Biggest thing I ever caught was a 10:42 at Dunes Club for a guy who called me at breakfast.”

Need help planning golf? Fishing?

Golf AND fishing?

Call Myrt.

Local knowledge. Local connections. Local legend.

Since 1983. ...
