Congrats RacinRob on the new yak; well deserved First Place finish! And congrats to all the winners too!

Hard a great weekend in the sun; maybe a little too much.... nursing my new lobster red shell! 

I'm tired and will post up pix tomorrow!

What a great weekend we had    I'll do a post up tomorrow, but thanks so much to Ricci, Christina, Glenn and Jim and everyone else that was involved for all their hard work to make this incredible weekend come true    Some Pics!

Some More Pics!

Congrats Rob.
Wish I could have been there but had the annual family gathering at my pad.
Next year.

Wow that was fun. Thanks Ricci and congrats to Rob. I caught a 17.5" LMB and a 14.5" trout both on the silver and blue kastmaster. No secret agents for me although there were a couple times I wished I had some. 

WE had fun.

WTG, Rob!

It was great seeing my folks for a few hours on Saturday.

Congrats Rob.  My dog and I had fun chilln' with the gang for the AOTY Awards Potluck on Saturday.  I wish I could have stayed for the derby.

My Dog, Boys ,wife and I had fun. Thanks for setting up the hookup Ricci  .   Just wish Berryessa would actually step up and get some better camping conditions. Some water sure would be nice and some real bathrooms. All in all a fun time though.

Great weekend. Thanks to Ricci, Glenn and all for the effort in putting this together. It was a terrific learning experience for me, and my little bluegill (I think) and my little small mouth bass finally washed the skunk stench from my yak at LB and gave me some needed confidence. Congrats to winners. Looking forward to the next opportunity to hang with you all. Thanks, Glenn for the stenciled handle and the instruction.

Big thanks Ricci and Christina  Congrats to Rob and all the winners. . A lot fun!

New lake for me.... Loved the location and the camping was great.  As usual, the food was amazing, the fishing was fun, the people involved were AWESOME.  Great to see everyone again and leave all my cares behind to splash around all weekend Thanks Ricci, Christina, Glenn, Jim and others, for all the Sacrifice of time and Grey grey hair you developed over the insurance setup and all those that came and brought such amazing food Items. The Lady's rocked the boat this time and soon will be laughing at us on the water... Ricci, Well done event and great awards ceremony. 

Thank you to Ricci, Christina, Howard, Glen, Jim and his lovely wife for all the hard work. Also want to thank all the grillers / cooks that fed the crew. Thank you to all who came out to play. And thank you to all that stayed behind to clean up after the festivities - especially to Bunny and Pam (she made the effort to bring the trash and re-cycle bins. Thanks Bunny = YOU ROCK 

CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners 

* Please remember to thank and support our sponsors *

*We also need to ban Ron / Weimarian and Glyn /Jonesz from wearing shorts on a hot day....their legs were blinding a lot of people over the weekend   

Hmmmmm,  I'll think about that and try to get a tan before the next event That "IS" one of my powers of distraction! They sure aren't white anymore Glad I had the sun screen. Applied 1/2 a bottle during the 2 day run and only have a little bit of a burn.... Sorry to all I blinded during the day

GreThanks to Ricci, Glenn and all for the effort in putting this together.

Thanks Ricci, Christina, Glenn, Jim and others,

Thank you to Ricci, Christina, Howard, Glen, Jim and his lovely wife for all the hard work.

While I would love to take even the smallest bit of credit for such a wonderfully organized event, I can not. I was a participant in the event just like most of you, enjoying the event and hopitalilty of others.

The credit and thanks goes to Ricci & Jim (and there significant others) who worked long and hard to make this event run smoothly. Great Job!
