What an event! What a day! Congrats to all the winners and participants for last year's AOTY. The celebration was definitely worth the drive!
I had a great time meeting NCKA'ers that I've only read about online. All the legends were just as large in real life as on these pages. Mooch, it was cool meeting you buddy, you know how to to have a good time! Everyone was f'n cool and friendly and I can't say I've had a better time at any event. The food was awesome, with just about every type of cuisine being cooked up under the tent city, I ate a bunch and had a couple of beers. Andy, it was cool to watch the fryer going, and those growlers were damn tasty! I had to take a break and nap in the car until about 7:30 before attempting the drive back to Woodland. The only thing that would've made the day a little better was to get out and do some fishing, but after I waited in front of the bait shop for 30mins I figured they were not going to open :smt044
In all, it was great partying with the NCKA crew, and I look forward to fishing and chillin with you all in the coming season. I'm sure the sun will come out sometime. :smt003

Got a few pics before the battery died, switched to cell phone for a few after that.

Besides all the NCKA sponsors and HMB Kayak Co. for providing us with a venue, I also want to thank those who came early to help set up the tent / tarp city. Thanks to those who volunteered to cook and to those who stayed later to help tear down the tent city and clean up the party grounds!  :smt008

Looks like it was a GREAT time!!!!  Congrats to all who won, placed, participated and showed up for the party!!

Would've made it if I could, but running and taking care of my sick daughter kept me close to home all weekend.  :smt012

Congrats again and looking forward to next year's party already!

Man, after seeing all that food and happy faces I knew I missed another good NCKA party.  Rain or shine NCKA knows how to do it.  Congrats to everyone and thanks for posting all the pictures for those of us who for one thing or another could not make it.

I arrived late, but could easily spot the proper parking area by the nice "positively painting" sign on Ben's truck.
So cool to see all of my fishing bros gathered after the long winter. many, many smiles, lots of wonderful food, and a few beers equal lots of great conversation and fishing tales.

Geez you guys, having 5 years of AOTY 1st place winners on one spot, was truly humbling (and so very cool). There area lot of good times wrapped up in all those planks of wood (OK, some cold and rainy times too, but they still count)

Andy grabbed me to try the smoked MFE, and going in to the fryer easy up was like getting a backstage pass! VIP baby!

I almost had to pull out my "honorary HAC" card so Mooch would quit buggin me about abalone inlay missing from his award. 'S OK though, I only got shot in the leg so i know he still cares :smt008

Fishunter, Guitarzan, ManBearpig, Fishadow, SaltyDog, Ravensblack, Al & Sara, Fishworks & Christina, EWB, Piski, O2B, Bird, FM1, & I know I am missing many. So glad I made the drive in the rain-you all made it such a fun afternoon.

Thanks to ChuckE & Bill, all the folks who put up the EZ ups & laid out the grub.

I'm so bummed to have missed the festivities!  My other family kept me home...   unexpected family from Hawaii, and they weren't into the cold Ca rain at all.  But a part of me was huddled under the tarps getting shot, buzzed, and stuffed with you all.

Much respect to The Winners, the Cooks, and the Artists.

I'll be brief...great people, great food, well deserved winners, and stormy weather.  All people attended deserve a "storm trooper" patch  :smt003
