Guess I was there in spirit 

Guess I was there in spirit 

I also that you out there.  I was wondering why you were dissing me.

On another note, did anyone find the orange bucket with a gray lid that I left at the launch ramp?  Not a real big deal, but the new 5 gallon bucket belonged to Fuzz.  I guess I owe him one.

just had some butt and chips and man was that tasty 

CongraTS on the Hali JAMES! only one of the day. A nice one at that, and the Derby Winner. It was great to see all of you out there. Any Day I get to hang out With The NCKA Fam is like hookin' a limit! Seen alota Legends, And met alotta new friends. . Thanx Adam n Barb, A great Time as usual, Can't wait to soak up some sun and fun at the next one mmmmmmmmmmmm butt chips...

Duh! A litle late here. Thanks Adam and Barb! The timing was great the tide was good the fish sucked the big one but all was good. It was a great way to start the halibut season for me. Good to see all the folks on the water. Can you believe that damn A Leepin? That guys got a nose for the fish. James I watched you since Jan 09 and it just thrilled the living shit out of me to see you hook up with your first kayak hali AND win the show. Bens art work is the best yet and I really mean that Ben. Now you all know that Ben made 2 pieces along the same lines for 1st and 2nd for Albion. Heres the only photo I took that day. Must have been inspiration. I dont think James had any idea what was in store.

Chuck, the bucket was still down at the launch when I helped Relentless pull his yak out. Maybe the ranger kept it for lost & found. jim

didnt get to make it out there with you guys this year fo to a ankle injury but i am glad everyone had fun. I just want to say thanks to adam for puttin it together (even though i wasnt there) because it takes alot work for the guys to make these trips possible so thanks guys. and ben couldnt of painted a better pic for the trip thats awesome. see you guys soon 

Hey Guys;

Glad I blew off a fever and a sore throat and went anyway. Goods times. Even if I didn't do my health any favors.
