  Wow.   
  Ok with that said, did that mole pictured in the net about an hour ago (Near the front of the posts) ever get used as bait?
  I saw some FAT fish pictured, and the carnage at the fish cleaning table? OMG!  This event looks like one I need to attend!  Sadly I won't be able to join the festivities till GS6 (Sometimes I hate work)

It was traded in for a birdie.

Outstanding gathering! Eric - congrats on another successful NCKA event! Maybe you can save me a spot for next year

I know it's way late, but I had some minor technical difficulties. Here goes.

MontanaN8V, Thanks for dragging me along. I can't wait for Albion.

Big Jim, Thanks so much for letting me fish with you and your crew after MontanaN8V splashed. I'll fish with you anytime. The Trident couldn't have gone to anyone more deserving. You and your family are great people. Are you going to Albion?

Bloodbath, It was great hanging out with you. You're a cool dude. I'll see you at the next event.

BaitNbeer, The uni was awesome. It was great seeing you again. We'll have to go fish Paradise Cove again soon.

Stoggie, I had a great time hanging out and fishing with you. Thanks for the help too.

BlackAb, Way to go on the event. It was a first class event and you're a first class guy. Thanks for everything.

I met so many great people and had an awesome time. The food way over the top. I was so stuffed I was afraid to move or I'd have popped.  I learned a few things that will make next year even better. I'll be better prepared. I can't wait.

WAD, Mooch - your presence would elevate the event.  CU@GS5

Besides I don't think anyone could tolerate BigJim in his clown car yak any longer.  There was talk of making him wear a Bozo wig and clown make up if he kept it up.

He didn't mention his one other prize he got on Sunday.  He let me dive for abs with him because he took pity on me because I forgot my float.  While diving he lost his weight belt.  About 20 minutes later I found one that had been down long enough to begin to grow fur.  I humped it out of the depths a few feet at a time to a wash rock.  Back at the beach he declared it nicer than the one he lost (it fit too).  So he was still upgrading equipment.  I hope he bought a lottery ticket on the way home because his luck was running hot.

I was dreading putting that wig on...clowns freak me out!! Now I won't have to!! 

Really enjoyed diving with you on Sunday and thanks again for helping me recoup the lost lead!!! Looking forward to using the "new" belt to get out and shoot some fish down at SWS sometime soon!!
 
Sincerely,

Jim

Jim,

I'm with you. Clowns freak me out too, especially after watching Steven King's movie It!!

Two cannibals catch a clown in the forest and start eating him. One cannibal looks at the other one and says, " does this taste funny to you.?"

In return for the generosity of everyone, I think for next GS5, I will help compile a gear bag of stuff for people like myself that lost everything.  So, keep that in the back of your minds guys, and spare or old gear, set aside, and we can have a splash dog prize for most poetic dismount!

Great idea, Rich, and way to be a man about the whole thing.

I'm sure I can come up with something to contribute. You've seen my garage. 

Was looking back through the original thread to see the name of the store where Greg/Cajun worked and found this....

Look at the writing on the wall behind the boat!! MIRACLES HAPPEN!!!!!!!

Truly was a Miracle that I managed to bring this beautiful boat home!!!!

Hope that maybe this Miracle might serve as inspiration for anybody (like me) that felt like they never had a chance in the world of winning anything in a tournament with so many amazing/experienced/superior anglers...

If you don't give it a shot you are for sure guaranteed not to catch any fish or win anything....if you go out and try your best, you never know...a Miracle just might happen!!!!!!

 

Thanks again to Eric, Greg/Cajun, and everybody else for being a part of my Miracle!!!!

Sincerely,

Jim

A major heartfelt thank you goes to Eric for hosting such a swell event. Pam and I got to meet, camp, party and fish with the best group of people imaginable. We just arrived back to the mainland last night from a week in Kauai. So now we can catch up with our NCKA friends and posts. dave...
