Well it had to happen soon or later I could not be happier with todays
Win because when I seen how many kayaks were on the beach this morning,
I did not think I had a chance to take first place but the live smelt was just
To good for MR ling to resist yeeehaaa :smt007

It was peer hell waiting on the beach for everyone to come in with their
Catch and when I seen Allen lift his game clip out of his kayak my
Hart sank when I got a look at his ling I just had a feeling he, beat
Me but in the end I got him, by one inch that was close to close. :smt010

As for the ling he fought hard all the way to the end but I had
My 975LD with 20 # line and a shimano TDR 8.6 trolling rod
This was my first time out with this rod and it did real well
I think I will keep it. :smt005

Now I would like to thank HMB kayaks for putting on this
Derby and cobra kayaks for putting up the kayak for this event
+ BILL and everyone who made this one best fishing trips
I have ever had I am on cloud 9 baby. :smt001

Congratulations Duane, you deserve this win! :smt002 

There were atleast 50 kayaks on the water, foggy in the morning, clearing somewhat around 10. 

Danglin almost performed his Newbie trick, lost a good size Halibut near the entrance of the Harbor.

Good times, Great people.

Cool contour map! It seems ~2 miles out of the harbor. Waiting to see exciting Pics. How big (size and weight) is the No.1 ling? Congrates.

Congrats on the big win, Duane!  Of course, big thanks to Chuck and Bill and everyone who had a hand in organizing/orchestrating the event.

I'll get the pics started with this, the lone picture I took today...

Just one small wave of anglers on their way out of the harbor, through the fog.

What a great day! I was a bit intimidated by the fog; I haven't been on the water much last year or this year (mostly in it), so I was a bit intimidated by not knowing where the @*^% I was most of the time. I think I'm out of my league with you guys, but if I keep fishing with y'all, hopefully that'll change.
Duane, congrats on the well-deserved win; you worked the science and the mojo and it payed off wonderfully!
Thanks to Bill, Chuck, HMB yaks and everyone who donated prizes.
I'm in for next year!

We had an amazing turnout today, 72 kayak anglers!!!  :thumbsup: The fog was pretty thick out there today and the swell was intense at times but Duane and everyone powered through. Final standings:

1. Duane - 32 inch ling
2. Allen Bushnell - 31 inch ling
3. Dave Swenson - 28.5 inch ling


The special Hobie bait tank prize went to Ben with a 28 inch ling. The raffle was an amazing success as well. Tin cleaned up winning the Bob Franko custom rod, scotty rod holder and the MacSki!! We raised $1,008 for the ASA!!! Amazing!

Thanks to everyone that came and fished, Doug and Chris at HMB Kayak Company, Cobra, Outback Adventures, Hook 1, Aquan, Rollez and Mel Cottons for there support.

Special thanks to Chuck in for doing all the hard work behind the scenes. This would not happen without Chuck!

I got one picture of Duane on the water but it is way out of focus. I will post it anyways.
