Title: MBK 2010 Derby Results (PHOTOS ADDED)
Post by: Bushy on August 08, 2010, 06:07:53 PM
It was ling cod city out there today.  We weighed in a number of good sized lings as well as an impressive cabezone.

About 50 entrants gathered at 7am  and launced into flat but slightly ruffled seas. Anglers fanned out in search of big fish and glory. Wind was offshore, switched to SE, then back to E by 1pm. Gray skies and kinda cold.  Kelp beds out front are all underwater and sparse.

First fish weighed was from Ryan Baek, aka lingling.  He had the 8#6oz cabby and a BIG 13#14oz lingcod.  Looked tough to beat.  Phil Debord, aka Eyewabjkdalgnmdjt brought anther fat stomach ling to the table that weighed in at 13#15oz.  Unbelievable!!!  Phil took home the Trident 13 compliments of Ocean Kayaks, and Ryan received 2d place new angler edition paddle from MBK.  3d on the list was.....you guessed it, another lingcod.  Jim Gosciminski (Jimgosc) had a very decent 10#11oz fish.   Not bad for his first derby and.I believe, 2d time ever kayak fishing.  (he just bought his boat yesterday). Quite a few decent RF were caught, but none were close to being contenders.

Phil was fishing near the wharf and hooked his winner with a sardine.  Ryan worked the Coast Guard jetty with a hex bar, and Jim was out near the yellow can and found success with a whole squid. Jim's prize was a pair of new sunglasses.  I think we'll be seeing more of both Ryan and Jim in the future, and regarding Phil, what can I say?  He's been around a  while, and it's about time he got off that Big Game.  He was very very stoked, and I was totally stoked for him, Champ for the year, put it on your signature Phil!!  You got the glory this year.

Photos will be added as soon as I get them.  Feel free to post any shots you got below.  

Thanks one and all for attending and for the support.  Remember, all the $$ besides what goes for Derby expenses is donated to The Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout project. Everyone wins.

We will do it again next year....thanks again.

Awesome day with my son and seeing many NCKA friends! No butts or lings for us but managed to catch enough rockfish for dinner. Was great to see da Mooch out on the water and looking great :thumleft: Congrats to Phil for landing that monster ling! Phil really deserves this new kayak :smt002. Many thanks to Allen, Aaron and the rest of the MBK crew for putting on such a great event. Looking forward to next year.

good times, thank guys for putting this on.  I had a 30 inch 10 pound 7 ounce ling.  Figured I was going to get a new paddle.  Not even on the podium  :smt010  Some real quality fish.  Not like some loser two years ago that won with a verm :smt044  Easy fellas, that was me, so I am allowed to dis myself.

When the A Hull pics are posted, shield your eyes lad and lassies, or you are sure to lose your sight  :smt003

Also in the pics will be sharkbait's patent pending shark shield.  So far so good  :smt007

What a day!!!!! MBK did another outstanding job in hosting this great get together! Thank you Allen, Aaron and all the staff of MBK!!! It was great to see many old and a few new faces. The competition was tight!!!!! I am very honored to have finally won this annual event as it is hosted by a great business and a really GREAT bunch of people! I do feel some pride in being able to say the locals kept the prize in their own back yard. I also want to give a big shout out to one of my heros Great Bass 2!!! Scott that rod and reel you made for me did the trick! It's my new secret weapon (as long as my "good friends" don't help it walk away) 
Thank you to Aaron for putting up with me giving him such a hard time for the last few weeks and cooking up some great man dogs!    The food was great and really hit the spot! I can't wait for till I have the time to take this new T13 out and get a few even bigger fish   I wasn't able to take any pics as my camera is dead. I am looking forward to seeing the many that were taken.
All in all it was another great day on and off with a really good group of people. It is just an added bonus to be blessed with bringing a new yak home. I really needed it too 

Migwech Mamogosnon! and lets get together and do it again next weekend.  :smt044

Congrats, Phil and the placers. Thanks Aaron and Allen. Had a great time competing. Caught some dabs, a few rockfish and an oh-so-close underling. Nice conditions, even with the drizzle for a little bit. Here are a few pix. Maybe someone else has pix of the winning monster lings.

Congratulations on a well deserved victory. You certainly know that area well. I think I met you OTW out of MBK a few years ago. Your handle is hard to forget???  :smt005 Glad the rod and reel are working out for you. I think there is a lot of good ju ju coming from the Pay It Foreward event. I have bagged 2 lings on the revo toro I won. Sorry I missed the MBK derby. I registered but my Saturday fishing adventure had some surf swimming and I spent Sunday cleaning equipment and trying to get sand out of my ears.  :smt044

Aaron

Kudos to MBK and the hard work you put into the derby. MBK has been a great supporter of kayak anglers. After yesterday, probably should take the surf zone class again.  :smt005

Thanks to all who put this togeter, Good Times!

Lings came out where I never figured they would. fur bag loaded jetty and sandy practically kelp less bottom not far off shore.

I managed  few small rockies but they all went back, I tried to find some deep water, I think I was 2 miles out and still only in 150 fow. I had two good one load uop but came unbuttoned, one I was getting the net ready before I even saw it :smt013 another was off the jetty, but had to imagine a fb hit my line it was too explosive!

Good to meet cha all! I was beat getting home, left Placerville 2am to get there and was home at 9pm -Bullet run!

Had a great time hanging out with Ben / Guitarzan Saturday night at the MBK parking lot. Despite the lack of sleep that I got, I manage to get my self motivated enough to go out and participate at the event instead of just sitting on the sidelines. I took my time gearing up and finally made it to the shoreline. And as I paddled out, I felt ALIVE again. I felt a sudden surge of energy as I made my way towards the Hotel - trolling a big deep diving plug in about 15 FOW. I felt the plug digging into the sand and that was a good enough sign for me to continue my course. Didn't make it all the way to the Hotel and decided to try the yellow can for RF instead. Saw a few of the fellas out there and witnessed Jim pull his Third place ling right in front of me! Jim, Congrats on your first ocean trip and taking Third on your first kayak tourney :smt023  So I hung around for a few hours and convinced the smallest rockfish in the tourney to bite my locanus jig (released) :smt044 Hey at least I finally caught my first rockfish of the year  :smt003

*Thanks to Allan B. for putting me on a Trident 11....it was really nice to be paddling again!!

Thanks MBK for putting this event on--it is very appreciated. Also thanks to Bushnell (there's just too many dang allens nowadays so I'm gonna say Bushnell for now on!). And Thanks to Aaron for doing all the behind the scenes & behind the grill work! Congrats to Phil! Catching the winning fish on the custom GB2 rod is pretty cool too. And to Ryan and Jim too! That had to be the most ling-filled MBK derby yet! The 10th Place fish would've won 2 years ago.

I fished on Sat w/Al and Sara. We scouted the area for bait but couldn't find any sardines. So we went for dabs, then RF out by the mile buoy. Along the way, I hooked a sealion that towed me like 10mph all the way back to the wharf. I had to cut the line unfortunately, so now this poor thing has approx 140ft of braid hanging from its face. I felt bad about that. But hopefully it'll be OK and learn not to bite a FRB salmon rig behind a 4oz sinker and dodger. Evolution's a bitch lol. Fishing was slow and we got a few rockies, a mess of dabs, and I got a few nice little lings that donated some octopi to the cause.
On Derby day, we decided to go big = halibut or nothin! So we slow-trolled sardine pops outside the surfline all the way north past the beach hotel. At one point, we must've found a nice patch of sand because we got 4 solid halibut hits in 30 minutes in the same area. But each time they'd chomp my sardine in half right behind the treble stinger! Unfortunately, I had to take a dump super bad...so I busted ass back to the launch and relieved myself (my sincerest apologies to the 5 people who were impatiently waiting outside the bathroom for about 10-15 minutes..and all those whom succeeded me). Although I considered pulling a ryan and dumping in the ocean...lucky for the fish I was wearing my waders lol!  
Long story short, no halibut for me! But that's OK because I still had a great time w/the NCKA family. These things are starting to be like family reunions! Looking forward to the next one!

I'm glad I decided to join the tournament at the last minute even though I didn't win anything.  I really enjoyed my first MBK tournament and I hope there is more to come.  Thanks to Allen and Aaron for putting this together for us.  This tournaments helps build camaraderie and allows more of us to get to know each other.  I'm slowly getting really hooked to this madness and sometimes I don't know why.  But I hope it does not fade because I love the ocean.  Glad to meet some new faces at the tournament.  I see a lot of excitement with those new blood like dpshim, kingling and tiny.

Congrats to Phil, Ryan and Jim.  Phil, not sure why you fillet that Ling.  Your wife is going to wonder where all that fish went.   Hope you save her the head.  You know how we much we like making fish soup.  Looking forward to the next tournament and see all you mad dogs out there.  Andy thanks for the beer and glad to see you Mooch!  I got more pictures and should be posting them soon.

Thanks to MBK/Allen for hosting such a fun event, and to the NKCA family for making me feel welcome :smt001. Congrats to Phil and Ryan. Those were some quality Lings.
I was fortunate to get 3rd (sunglasses), not knowing what to expect. I'd only paddled a couple of times at Loch Lomond in a SIK. After lurking ( I mean gathering info) around this site for a while, I bought a T-13 last week and haven't stopped spending $$$ since.
I'll apologize in advance for not remembering everyone's name, I met so many of you. Guess I'll just have to fish with with you again until I get it right.
Don and Allen, I appreciate you both letting me use your Wheelz, I bought a set from MBK that day, and they let me use my sunglasses as a credit.
Mooch, thanks for the photo.
I knew it was going to be a good day when I was pulled over for speeding by one of Monterey's finest as I pulled into the parking area at MBK :smt013, and she let me go :smt044. Man, that was close, I was guilty.
See you on the water, Jim

Big Thanks and Great Job to MBK, Aaron and Allen,
I know there is a lot of prep that goes into putting these events together and you did it without knowing if enough would show. Another big thanks to NCKA for rallying together and making a strong showing - all in less than a week. This is and has always been a great event with a very beneficial cause and I'm glad to see it be as successful as it was. Thank You to all who organized and participated.

Ebj&%$@!?,
Congratulations on your victory,
Nice to see the home town boy become the hero.
I would have taken the lead but was up since 2am and was a little off my game :smt044
All kidding aside - great job, you earned it.

Mooch,
Thanks for the gift  
It was good to see you today - even better to see you on the water paddling.
Stay strong my friend and we'll paddle again soon

See Ya Soon,

It was great to see all my OG homies and to meet a some future OG's, alot of cool people fish this derby each year and I was super stoked to be there. 

Of course, it was great to fish next to Joel, buddy, it's been a long time, before you even got sick, trying to get time fishing with you seemed impossible, i'm glad I got to see you dippin a line. 

Allen, thanks for hooking me up, Aaron, you too, and it was good fishing with Chuck and Ben, Frank and Joel, you guys all  have little tiny spots in my dark fish killing heart....   :smt006  JTF..
