Honeybun’s winning fish comes from east of Cape Lookout

Swansboro was a real fishing town the weekend of Aug. 10, with three tournaments in its waters. The big one was the Onslow Bay Open King Mackerel Tournament, and despite some rough ocean seas, Honeybun, captained by Adam Tosto, took first place with a 38.22-pound king.

Tosto and his crew – Albert Tosto, Greg Thornburg and Jay Russell – caught their winning fish east of Cape Lookout.
