" The party is well under way at the Flora-Bama as day two of the 30th annual Interstate Mullet Toss drew thousands to the famous beach bar on the state line and backed up traffic along the beach highway in each direction.
Compared to Friday, the scene was bigger, wilder, and crazier as more people flooded the beaches, tossed fish and frolicked in the surf to cool off from the bright sun and temperatures in the 80s.
A mini armada of boats parked out in the shallow Gulf waters in front of the bar and giant inflatable gorillas and tents went along with massive speaker stacks, kiddie pools and beer pong arenas. Dressing in costume was also a popular way to go, with Abraham Lincoln, Hulk Hogan and other celebrity look-alikes spotted in the crowd.
Camera crews from the Fox News program "My America with Elisabeth Hasselbeck" were on the scene to film the actual tossing action, and Ryan Coulon of Destrehan, La. threw a fish 155 feet with the cameras rolling. Unfortunately since it was Coulon's second throw and he did not officially register the second time, the toss did not count for the competition."
