ChuckE dominates at ARW

I got a 21.5 halibut to small and a 46” sturgeon yes I said sturgeon, I was trolling very slowly with a hearing Popsicle with a clouser trailer I guess he liked the clouser, photo and released.

Hey Pat.  Congrats on the sturgeon.  That's crazy!
Sharky, Freddie, and I are lucky we were fishing a halibut derby

congrats on the win chuck and great job on the 2 place sharky' and good job to Freddie' for the 3 spot
And a big thanks to fisherman's wherehouse for the great job on the tournament 

I tell you guys I was so wiped after 2 days of fishing I got home and cleaned up my kayak
and gear but I left the halibut in the cooler' I had plan to clean the halibut after dinner
but I fell asleep only to wake up to the sound of something tearing apart my cooler.
So I run outside to see what is going on only to see a Raccoon running off with my halibut
but I thought it was really kind of funny    I bet he enjoyed it that was a nice meal
for a coon 

It was nice fishing with you all see you at the next one

peace duane 

NFW!

Congrats on winning first place Chuck. WTG bro. Congrats to Sharky and Freddie
as well.
Hey Pat, I'm sure that was a lot of fun fighting that unexpected sturgeon.

Andy, I'm so happy you hooked up on a keeper halibut too.

More pics of the day












This asian gent was hooked up to something right as I pedaled past.  Can you say [really] highstick?!  Eventually, he landed and released a ray.  Good little sleigh ride.

















The champ!



And the powerboat full of kids who were slamming the flatties.  After they bagged this halibut and it was flopping around on the deck, I heard one of the adults admonish, “now the fight really begins…”

Finally, my tribute to Sharky.  I was slow pedaling abreast of chuck when we notice Sharky is hooked up.  I come about and start snapping pics.  It was really cool to see him land, lose, then land that fish.  Talk about an adrenalin rush!





OK, right after this video cuts, the flattie flops to his port and the group lets out a collective gasp, thinking the fish is lost, BUT it wasn’t!  Good for you Sharky.

What a Day at the wall!!!!

 ConGrats to all and ya ... Chucke and Fredie placing...

  who woulda thunk......... 

  Strong Work all........

Thanks Eric for a great time!  Here are more pix:

Sounds like the usual NCKA Good Times but with a Twilight Zonish twist...  It's like there were 2 family reunions at the same time - we had at least 45 yaks at the Cove.  How cool that NCKA can take over 2 venues in one weekend.   

Great pics and reporting, All, and congrats to the Mojo-Masters and Sharky.   

thanks to FW and Eric for putting this great event together. Congrads to Champ, Freddie and Sharky.....i got to witness all of them hookin thier fish(es)

I was gifted some smelt by the Champ and then I just followed him around, watching him SundaySchool us all.

It was fun to be yaking with the rest of the group and then to relax and cool-off in the shade while i ate my 5-hotdogs + 5-waters and a bag of Fritos. Iwas hungry at first, then just full and hot.
