King Fur LV Malcom Shane Skipper was crowned Saturday, Dec. 27, during the 2026 Fur Queen and Teen Miss Fur pageant.
Below is the introduction letter submitted by his daughter Jada Cole that was read at the presentation:
Born on July 25, 1975, in Franklin, but raised his entire life in Cameron Parish, Malcolm Shane Skipper is the true definition of a coastal son. Growing up along the waters of Cameron, Malcolm’s identity was shaped by tides, salty air, and the hardworking people who make a living from the Gulf. The commercial fishing industry wasn’t just a career option — it was the heartbeat of his childhood and the foundation of the man he would become.
Malcolm is the son of Diane and the late Malcolm Skipper of Cameron. His father was a jack-of-all-trades in the seafood world — shrimping, fishing, and oystering — and was skilled in building shrimp nets and butterfly frames. His mother stayed home and cared not only for her own children but half the neighborhood too, always ensuring there was a warm meal and a safe place for kids to gather. Malcolm was also blessed to grow up close with his three sisters: Tammy, Telica, and Tanya, who all share fond memories of a life filled with Gulf breezes and muddy feet.
From the very beginning, Malcolm found freedom on the water. Summers were spent running the marsh banks, watching boats head out to the Gulf, and counting down the years until he was old enough to go too. He always says the water raised him just as much as his parents and community did.
His passion for fishing was ignited by his father and close family friend Jack Amick, who taught him everything there was to know — from reading the weather and tying hooks to using the right weight and trusting instinct.
