Crabfest 2019 Official Report...

Crabfest 2019 was one for the books. The weather was beautiful and the crab were in attendance. This may have been one of the best Crabfest, weather wise. The wind never picked up and it was warm enough to play in the water.

We had 70 of the 80 registered anglers check in to a beautiful sunrise. Some anglers were quick to find crabs while others had a more difficult time. In the end everyone still had a great time. To me the event is more about the chill, the crabbing is the icing on the cake.

And the winners are...

Perch

The winner of this years perch division was Frank Nunes (Ghost), his perch measured in at 11.75 inches. The Winner of the Junior Division was Colton Crummey aka Colton Crum whose perch measured in at 11 inches

Rock Crab

There were some big rock crab that were brought in to be measured this year, some bigger than Dungeness. The winner of the Rock Crab division went to Jason Ngo aka fishbushing whose rock crab measured in at 6.53 inches and weighed in at 1.54 lbs.

Dungeness Crab

Third Place went to Jennifer Chang aka Mrs. Simply Cook. Her Crab measured in at 6.93 inches and weighed in at 2.06 lbs.

Second Place went to Dario Salinas aka Thedarrios1988, his Dungeness crab measured in at 6.97 inches and weighed in at 2.27 pounds.

First Place went to Tim Butolph aka snipeworm, whose crab despite missing some legs, measure in at 7.16 inches and weighed in at 2.05 lbs



As always the potluck was amazing and there were so many delicious items, including the roasted pig at the campground. All of this couldn't be possible without the support of the sponsors and the great group that is NCKA.

The Raffle raised $4600 that will be split between DYF.org and The Freitas Family.



My Family looks forward to seeing you again at Crabfest 2020 on 1/25/20

This was my first NCKA event and what a blast!  Huge kudos and thanks to Victor and family for all the work that went in to the event.  The pile of raffle items from sponsors was amazing! 

I particularly enjoyed the lack of radio traffic in the morning turning to open conversation at the beach and making new friends when the stiff competition had ended. Haha. 

I already booked a spot for next year!

Thanks Victor for putting on such a great event. Glad to have made it this year. Looking forward to next year.
