MBK Monterey Bay Kayaks Derby 8/8/10

[Bear]

Hey All,
I had a good time at the MBK derby.  Great fun and people.  Hope to see you all out there another time.

PS
Anyone happen to find a lost life jacket (PFD).  I seemed to have lost it after i came in for the weigh in... though both my fish together didn't even rank lol

LOOKING FOR LOST PFD:
Was orange and black... now more of a Really FADED orange with black hem and zippers.  Anyone find it, please message me.  Its was the only one i had, and i don't have money for another one any time soon.... so unless i can find that one again... i wont be getting out into the ocean anytime soon.

First and foremost, thank you to MBK and Allen for putting together a wonderful event This was my very first derby, as well as Ryan's, and I can say that we had a blast!!

I'm sorry Ryan that you had to settle with 2nd place. But being this is your very first derby and newbie to kayak, you have to give yourself a pat on the back. I am very very proud of you lil brother!!

Phil, congrats on taking the grand prize; competition was pretty intense. And to win it by 1 oz!! WTG!!

To all the NCKA fam: Jed, Pat, Allen, Aaron, Ray, Eugene, Nathan, Tiny, Al, Eric, Andy, Chucky, and those names I've forgotten (my apologies): you are all awesome bunch of friends!! Thank you for making Ryan and I feel at home amongst the family.

Last, but not least Joel: It was a great honor to have finally properly introduced myself to you Your big warm heart and love was felt by all of us. Much love to you brother!!

I can't wait to see you all again soon!!

What a day!!!!! MBK did another outstanding job in hosting this great get together! It was great to see many old and a few new faces. The competition was tight!!!!! I am very honored to have finally won this annual event as it is hosted by a great business and a really GREAT bunch of people! I do feel some pride in being able to say the locals kept the prize in their own back yard. I also want to give a big shout out to one of my heros Great Bass 2!!! Scott that rod and reel you made for me did the trick! It's my new secret weapon (as long as my "good friends" don't help it walk away)  
Thank you to Aaron for putting up with me giving him such a hard time for the last few weeks and cooking up some great man dogs!   The food was great and really hit the spot! I can't wait for till I have the time to take this new T13 out and get a few even bigger fish   I wasn't able to take any pics as my camera is dead. I am looking forward to seeing the many that were taken.
All in all it was another great day on and off with a really good group of people. It is just an added bonus to be blessed with bringing a new yak home. I really needed it too  

Migwech Mamogosnon! and lets get together and do it again next weekend

Congratulations on a well deserved victory. You certainly know that area well. I think I met you OTW out of MBK a few years ago. Your handle is hard to forget???  Glad the rod and reel are working out for you. I think there is a lot of good ju ju coming from the Pay It Foreward event. I have bagged 2 lings on the revo toro I won. Sorry I missed the MBK derby. I registered but my Saturday fishing adventure had some surf swimming and I spent Sunday cleaning equipment and trying to get sand out of my ears. 

Aaron

Kudos to MBK and the hard work you put into the derby. MBK has been a great supporter of kayak anglers. After yesterday, probably should take the surf zone class again.
