Samantha Dawson Deffendall

June 23rd, 2012 was a big day for young Samantha Dawson.

First and foremost, despite being five months pregnant, she was out on the bow of The Rig and managed to pull the winning crab out of the water at the 2012 Assault on Patcong Creek. Then, at the post-tournament BBQ, she accepted Jeff Deffendall’s marriage proposal.

How could she possibly top that day? By being the first two-time Assault on Patcong Creek tournament winner.
