Thats a pretty nice $600 ...thats almost as cool as having a $500.00 bonita. Dude it totally was karma or something since you donated soooo much to the tourney yesterday, you deserve it man!

I like to think of it more as a result of pre-fishing and sticking to
my plan.

I sprinted to get to the pier to stay ahead of the crowd,
made a single sardine and paddled to the fishing grounds
and began trolling where I'd seen fish in the days prior.

I'd seen fish in LJ every day this past week and hooked up Wed, Thurs,
and Friday. Farmed the fish on Wed, but I knew there were more
fish there.

I was checking out what appeared to be a dark
cloud. As I was reeling in my bait to check for weeds, I saw a
dark shadow part from the cloud and instantly my reel was singing.

The fish pulled me closer to shore putting me at risk of getting
pounded by the surf, so I hung my foot over the side to turn
my yak Westbound. The fish turned and started towing me out
to sea.

I happened to find the only kelp paddy and my line went right through
it. The Spectra did it's job and began to cut kelp while I continued to
pull clumps off. Seven minutes later my lucky catch was on the game
clip. By 6:30am I was done for the day...and lovin' it!

The Steve Moyer Memorial Tournament was a great time. Many thanks
to Jim Sammons, Matt Moyer, and Brent Torgeson for putting this
together. YakTackle.com was only one of many generous sponsors
for a great cause. Looking forward to next year.

.......and to think I was releasing $500 Bonita all morning, I should have changed my strategy after seeing your fish on decklol.

This guy is incredible... picked up right where he left off!

Don't you have any work to do, or something?

Congrats on a great win and a great catch!

Thanks for your contributions to the tourney as well, a class act!
