...he timed it perfectly, wrong!  and had to get a bit salty. Then had to save his paddle from getting ripped out to sea.....and he did get some uni to give to the MFDT and Ty on the beach.

     I must admit.....Elk was a completely different event than CSBA (my first NCKA event)! CSBA was a blast but we were  kinda spread out in our own little camps mostly except when on the water or at the BBQ. Elk was one wonderful mass of humanity ....where you only had to exit your tent to be in the thick of things. Everywhere you turned there was someone new, to place a face to a name or nickname. The hill, ocean, food and fishing were only the icing on the cake for me, as meeting and talking with everyone was the real experience.
     Congratulations Ben on the tourney win with the chubby ling!
   
     My sincere thanks to the White Family, the Greenwood Community Center, and the Town of Elk  for being such gracious hosts. We all hope we will be invited back.       Allen L.

Thank you all for the congrats, and yet another awesome weekend! 

I think my arteries are slowly beginning to unclog from the CBDPODFOC’s (cake-batter-dipped-peanut-oil–deep-fried-Oreo-cookies).  And my wimpy SoCal bones are finally shaking off the chill from that 49 deg. water. 

NCKA at Elk is truly a slice of heaven and the distance traveled is always well worth it.  Guitarzan’s rotundasaurus ling was to be marveled.  I had my sights on that Trident Ben, but as my pop gently put it: “Anorexic fish don’t win tournaments.”  The Yak Rod is no consolation prize…nicest rod I’ve ever owned…can’t wait to test it out down here this weekend.   

I really miss fishing with all y’all…looking forward to the next opportunity!

Here's my lenky ling:

Levi, it's great to see you and your family make the long trip two years in a row.  We all miss seeing your fishing reports and "Levi signature fish sniffer poses" with already bigger than average fish.  If I remember correctly, you've always done well at Elk, so seeing you win 2nd place was no surprise.  I'm glad your family got to witness your glory.

     Big thanks to the White family, the town of Elk, the greenwood cc, and everyone involved in making this event so special.  When asked by friends and family how the weekend went I find myself talking more about how cool everyone was and how great the food was, more so than the fishing (which was off the hook as you can see by all the quality fish everyone caught!!!) 
     
     Great friends, great food, great weather, great fishing... can't wait for BAM.
