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.

Great tourney with or without fish. There were several large fish caught that did not count. Lots of folks fished Halibut all day all over for nada. I spent half the day not catching YT and the other half not catching Halibut.

Big Thanks to Matt , Jim and Family for making this tournament possible.
You guys are some of the most righteous people I know.

I hope this tradition continues forever.
--------------------

My total on the day was 2 Bonito and 3 Mega Macks

, all on irons.
They were so big I didn't dare pin one on as bait. That big thresher seemed to follow us all day and I didn't want any part of him.

That Mack wound up being a $50 fish

Thanks for the props Dave!!! Lucky was the word of the day for me.

I knew that sucker was on the small side when I hooked him but he looked north of 10lbs. For awhile, I was really regretting bleeding him out as I was nervously imagining him weighing only 9 lb. 11 oz on the scale.

I pre-fished Friday and sighted alot of YT so I knew they were out there and I even spooked a couple puddlers before I hooked up. I was one of the first ones out fishing past the condo but the large mob was migrating south and I knew that wouldn't help me catch fish. What really screwed it up in my mind was the New Seaforth cruising right into the area before heading into deeper water. I guarantee most of those dogs that were harassing everyone came off the New Seaforth's stern.

That was the hardest 45 minute kick back but when Paul Lebowitz told me I had the first fish on the beach.....

Thanks again to everyone who made this event possible!
