Awesome day at SWS yesterday. Visibility was fantastic, considering the wind and swell. Big Jim put his best foot forward with the awards presentation. Food was 5 star ! Was great seeing everyone and meeting new friends

What a great day!!!
So many cool people came out....both for the DOTY awards, and for the Baby Matthew PIF fundraiser. THANK YOU to all who came down for this really special day!!
I headed out with IceColdChuck and DesertDiver and Jesse...found surgy and hazy conditions where we were at, but we still had fun!
Pointed out a small monkey to Charlie which we let be to grow bigger, and then finally found a nice one that I pointed out for Russ to shoot!! Popped his monkey cherry!!!

Back at the beach, my buddies Robert and Jim Okumoto came by to say hi, Jason from NCUH won the Baby Matthew PIF and Andy FM1's bad ass spearo clock with a beautiful 31.5 inch Ling, and we presented the DOTY 2012 awards (once fuzz finally showed up :smt002).
Gave out a BudLight Lime to the guys that had the biggest of each fish species, the killer Piscean Plaque to the 2012 champ (fuzz), and then the rest of the players got to pick the prize they wanted from the prize table. Everyone who played got great prizes, and I have prizes for Hotplate and AbKing once I see you next!!
Thanks again to all who came out...it was a really fun day!!!! Fuzz also presented me with a Magic Red Fish Amadeo print to commemorate my miniature 8 inch Verm! :smt007 :smt007 :smt005
Here is my vid of the dive before hand, and some GREAT pics that Pacifico took!!

THANK YOU once again to NCKA, all the Amazing sponsors (Ernest lucky13, Amadeo Bachar, FreediveShop, Pacific Nalu dive products, Austins Dive Center, fuzz, IceCold Chuck and Matt Michie from CALDFW) for all the excellent prizes!!
To me...that day was a really great example of all that I love about NCKA...great friends, good food, excellent times, paying it forward, smiles and laughter.
Love you guys!

Side note:
I chose the 30 pounds of lead dive weights crafted by IceColdChuck and the rubber weight belt donated by fuzz as my prize.
I gave them to my young buddy Jesse last night when he and his wife came over to pick up some fish.
He has been using my old belt but it is not rubber and it slips and slides on him frequently. This one will be much better for him, and he was super stoked! :smt001
It was great to see him and his wife out there...it was her birthday and she was out there at 6am with us to support him and check out what the whole diving thing was all about...she had a great time and told me last night how friendly and cool everyone was.
WTG NCKA on making another great impression!!!

I'm just waiting to snag a golf cart on a diamond jig along the bluffs over there.

One more thanks to the trio of Al (coordinator), FM1 (paddle owner) and Sean (delivery system).
I was out at the Island with only half a paddle and the unparalleled camaraderie continues to amaze me when a paddle was delivered!
Great day even for the dogs!

Me and my brother had a great time chilling and just truly enjoyed the day in that nice beach. I even came home with some perch from Joe and a date to get me into spearing some blues soon. Whoever put some beer in my cooler, you still have 3 left but I soon drank it all yesterday. I should looked before I took it home but let me know who you are and I will bring some for you next time.
