Baytubers Tournament, January 16th, 2021 - La Jolla Shores RESULTS

We had 7 anglers willing to brave the "category 5" surf at La Jolla Saturday for another famous Baytuber get together.
1. James "theluckypig"
2. Greg "gregandrew"
3. Jorge "Jorge"
4. Roby "Roby"
5. Caden "Caden"
6. Don "Bellcon"
7. Cameron from BWE (good to meet you)

Day started slow with bait being easier to make for some than others but eventually plenty was found by all.
A hell of a lot of sand was pounded by the crew and long story short? There are no halibut in La Jolla :lol: so the money gets bumped to the next tournament.
Now just because there were no halibut caught doesn't mean we didn't have fun... Anytime you are fishing with Caden and he has a working radio you are in for some entertainment and if he catches a monster 38lb yellowtail? everyone one in the canyon is going to know and have a smile.

Well that about covers it, I cant wait until we can end our days with a pot luck like we used to (F-Covid!)
If you have some words or pictures chime in brothers
I want to thank Greg again for making us fish La Jolla and to James for trying to relight the Baytuber Tournament fire it was a beautiful day and it was fun as hell sharing the water with you gentlemen, look forward to doing it again as soon as possible.
