GS4 - The MADNESS begins!!!!!!!

looks like fun. was planning to go but just learned that my brother is graduating from vet school on that day, so i'll be in illinois. have fun!

Damn!  Sorry you won't make it, Ariel.  I know Dom will be bummed too - have fun in Mexico.  Maybe a hurricane down there will push you our way...     Ben - maybe next year.

Ariel, sorry you are not going to make it.  I forgot to ask, how was that octopus you caught last year? 

I am sure we will all be sure to send you lots of pictures and videos to make you jealous.  Have fun in Mexico, I want to see some yellowtail pictures when you get back!

Matt

Bummed you won't be there Ariel. However, I will step up an assume the Octo wrestling duties should it be called for.  Won't be the same without the monster slayer and his Pokey recipe.

Shannon

Woot!! Been waiting for this thread to start!
I will be there along with my brother-in law. Hopefully, my wife and newborn son will be along as well. Look forward to seeing the crew!

Matt save a gaff for me this year

You are the MAN, Greg!  Got your message and I just got back from the Big Island, so I'll call you or stop by the store later.

Eric,

  I am working out of Arcata now.

      Greg

Big Island!    Who would want to go to Hawaii when you can have cragy rocks, cold water, rain and fog.  So how did you do Black Ab!  Did you get your kayak trip in there?  Did you catch any big Ula?

You can count me in the donate a few homemade trinkets.  Maybe a gaff/knocker combo and some lures.

I may be bringing in the family this year.  We got a travel trailer, so now the wife is willing to tag along.  It was hard to talk her down into a towable trailer rather than the tasjma hall.  She wants to try her new Hobie out.

I can't wait to dive the reefs Amphibian was talking about.  I am up to 30-40 ft dives right now and working on improving some more.  I may spend a few extra days after the tourney to get in some more diving and fishing, 3 days was too short!

Matt

ive heard enough! im there!

hopefully ill have some dive exp. under my belt by then and join u guys for a spearing.

I didn't get out OTW in Kona, Matt, but I did see a couple young guys pull in an 80# yellowfin Tuna off an inflatable right where I was staying at Punalu'u down near South Point.  I also spoke to two guys with nice fishing yaks up at Ho'okena - that place was awesome - HUGE whale surfacing and giving fluke shots to the beach crowd - spinner dolphins cruising through the swimmers, yakkers and SUP'er out there.  I'm glad to be back in Humboldt though - I'll take the murky, cold and craggy.   

Here's a hot one:  I'm thinking of wheeling and dealing to get a brand new Trident Angler as top prize for GS4...

I would need commitment from 30 participants at $20/head.

Please make an initial response in this thread...

 

I'm good for it.  Andy

Sounds like a good idea. I'd pony-up 20.
But does that mean we'd have to file paperwork w/DFG as a tourney? And would we then need to sign waivers to release liability? (skyverde flashback lol!)

Count me in!  I hope I have enough room on my roof rack!

Matt
