First off congrats to Guitarzan on the win. Second, extra special thanks to Sean and Leah for putting on another great event. I had to day trip it but had a great time. Thanks to everyone who contributed all the excellent food to the pot luck, and ChuckE for the sauce (Love it). I would also like to thank Erick for all the work he put into putting the raffle together and gather all the great prizes.
Hope to see everyone at BAM.

My take for the derby...

*11 # - 32 inch Ling (good for 4th place), 20 inch Verm, 19 inch black and a 26 inch ling.....most of which were donated to the fish fry  

*Also caught and released a couple of Canary RF and a short Ling on a LUCANUS JIG

Great reporting of what has become the prime NCKA tournee and an obvious great time.  Thanks to those who've posted photos, so those of us who couldn't be there can experience the vibe.  Great job, Whites.  Congrats, Ben and other competitors.  Some day...
