Roast & Reel 2025: A Day to Remember at U.S. Southern Command!
On May 29, 2025, Vet Info teamed up with MWR at U.S. Southern Command to deliver a one-of-a-kind event: Roast & Reel — a pig roast and fishing competition like no other, with support from the Pig Roast Bowl Series!
The Roast: Top chefs from police departments across Miami-Dade County went head-to-head in the Military Edition of the Pig Roast Competition. Five elite teams battled it out for the title of “Best Roast” — bringing the heat and the flavor for our service members and their families.
The Reel: Vet Info also hosted the Commander’s Cup Fishing Tournament on-site, where nearly 60 participants competed for awards in:
Biggest Fish
Most Fish Caught
Smallest Fish
It was a close call, with rods in the water and smiles all around — a true celebration of community, camaraderie, and competition!
A huge THANK YOU to all the service members, veterans, civilians, and law enforcement teams who made this event unforgettable.
