Wow!  Looks like a great day to be OTW.  Great turnout Victor.  I sure hope you can make this a tradition, for I missed out and can't wait to help you and the rest of the Headwaters Kayak Fishing Team next year.  Congrats to the winners.  Big thanks to Dan at The Headwaters Kayak Shop, for all of his contributions.  I sure hope those who attended and wanted to demo his kayaks got the chance to paddle one.  A shout out to Eddyline Kayaks, Promar/Ahi, a.bachar,  Liquid Image Co, Vacations in a Can, Malone, NRS, Costa,YakAttack, liquid image, and to anyone else that I'd forgot.  Thank you, for making it happen.

A huge thanks to Victor, Narisa, Dan, sponsors and all the folks that put another great crab fest together (and all that helped with clean-up).  I can image how much time and effort goes into putting on an event.  As always, it was great to see our extended family. 

Thanks to everyone for the great pictures and food.

Looking forward to next year.

Victor, I never doubted it was going to be a epic event.  I wish the flu would have stricken Shilo and I a couple weeks after instead of before.  You guys are a dynamic duo - my vote; you two be dubbed Batman (Dan) and Robin (Victor) and we find a way to incorporate a bat signal (or perhaps a crab signal) into future events  :smt044

I had a great time, as usual!

I got there Friday evening just as my mugs rolled up. Got tore up on Friday night.

Just chilled for awhile Saturday morning, then headed out with Kiel to check his pots. Four pots on an overnight soak and all he had were a few rock crabs, so I decided I wasn't even going to bother deploying my gear. Headed back in and we all decided we wanted some oysters, so Andy, Shane, Adam, and I hit Tides Wharf for ten dozen oysters, two pints of beer, two bloody marys, and a double mudslide. I showed my dudes my old sharay slaying grounds and we headed back to camp to crush our oysters, plus another 30 or so that Tote kicked down. I kicked it until midnight, then shot home. Brought Derik back out on Sunday afternoon and he had a blast seeing all of his homies.

Mad props to DP for grabbing my paddle and my Kayakfishing.com tournament shirt.

Another great NCKA hook-up in the books. See you cats at the Forebay.

I only took four damn pics all weekend...

Thanks to Victor, Narissa and Dan for putting together a great event!  Henry and I had a great time visiting with everyone and playing in the sand.  The A-hulls did a great job showing Henry some love and he played with that dinosaur Sunday and on the way home till he fell asleep :)
I didn't even take a single picture in 4 days!!!  I was too busy hanging out :)
Thanks to the sponsors for some awesome swag!!

and whomever gave me this cold I woke up with this morning, many many hexes on you, or at least some sand in your shorts  ;)
