WTG, Deepdiver,aka Easy Money! All the right moves... and congrats to the other big winners

Regor · 09-11-2010, 04:42 PM

Yes- had a great time and Congrats to all that won, and participated.

I do feel that it is time to add a pic to my avatar, and yes - for the time being, that IS a skunk in my pic.

Who would have thought that Billy V would almost make it in the money with a 2 pound greenie. 150 boats and only five fish, (not counting Billy's) at the weigh-in. Wow!

I am not claiming a skunk today. I caught bait and two sea lions. Hooked them good too. I bet their mouths are a little sore tonight. Serves them right for stealing my best bait.

Despite the poor fishing, this event was very enjoyable. Thanks to Jim, Matt and all the others who helped put this together. This was my first Moyer. I will certainly be back again next year.

Ouch that sounds pretty slow. Should of come down and fished for halibut. How big was the top fish?

Iceman · 09-11-2010, 05:17 PM

26 pound halibut, saw it gaffed right after I released this snaggle-toothed halibut wannabe.......I should have read the rules a little better

Awesome carnitas! and I made out in the raffle

Congrats to all who won and congrats to all who supported this very worthy cause!!!

Thanks to the Sammons and Moyer families!

dorado50 · 09-11-2010, 05:32 PM

Figured as much. I was thinking of just fishing butts all day but I couldn't make it down.

Congrats to the winners, must of been a great time.

Jim Sammons LJKF · 09-12-2010, 08:59 AM

The tournament yesterday was a huge success even with some tough fishing. Thanks sponsors, everyone that entered and all our volunteers for your help. I will have to count things up but I am sure we will be makeing a nice contribution to our friend Joel and to the American Cancer Society. Mark your calanders for the same weekend next year.
I will get a full report and photos up soon but today I think I will just sit and watch football with a smattering of baseball. It was a looooong day yesterday for everyone and again thank you all for supporting our event.

Jim Sammons LJKF · 09-12-2010, 10:12 AM

Preliminary numbers look like we will be making an 11K dontaion to our charitity. Thanks again everyone.

lamb · 09-12-2010, 12:12 PM

deepdvr · 09-13-2010, 09:14 PM

Probably the happiest I've ever been to see an over-grown firecracker at color.

Next stop.....Cheetahs.

Nic D · 09-13-2010, 09:30 PM

I dont see the gaff marks, did you use a bait net?

congrats man

FishinReelDeals · 09-12-2010, 11:43 AM

Really awesome day. All I caught was a huge mac. I can't belive I won a paddle and a fishfinder. IM SUPER STOKED!!! Great food and company. I'm looking forward to next years.

steveooo · 09-12-2010, 12:13 PM

Great tourney again

Congrats to the 5 that caught a fish worth weighing

, and to Billy V for having the balls to actually weigh a bait fish at a Big Fish tourney

As usual, I struck out, but I did let let the ADD get the best of me mid day and I played with itsy bitsies on the sabiki for a while.

My only 3 pics for the day

Nothing a little band-aid wont fix

Tiny Twins

New Species for me I think- Blue Rockfish?

Good to see everyone again

GregAndrew · 09-12-2010, 02:06 PM

WTG to all the winners, all the participants and all the staff of this event. There was a small mountain of prizes for the raffle and they sold out the tickets. Thanks for the great deal on my new ride too

. The whole shindig went off without a hitch except for the lackluster effort by the fish.

forefrazier · 09-12-2010, 03:32 PM

Nice job on the tourney to the entire Moyer and Sammons families and all of the other volunteers! This was my first tourney due to the fact that I never could imagine trying to launch with 135+ yaks on the beach but believe it or not it was not bad. Pretty cool to see everyone launching at the same time in semi-light conditions. Like most, went home smelly from the skunk but the good food, raffle items and good company at the park made up for it.

Cheers to all who attended...it is on my calendar for next year.

Hunter (The 80's Man) · 09-12-2010, 08:37 PM

I was a little bummed not catching anything but bait all day, but after getting to the park and seeing Dylan and listening to his father tell his son's story, none of it seemed to really matter anymore. It really put it all into perspective as to why all of us were really there. God bless to him and his family, and thanks to Jim, Matt, and the Moyer family and friends for another great tournament!

We've always called those things Bluebass, never seen one south of point conception. Wild catch especially for the summer.
