Fishing Tournaments and Events / Re: GSXVIII - It's a Wrap - Big Thanks to the Community!
« on: Today at 11:07:16 AM »
After the raffle had just wrapped up and most everyone had cleared out, Sonny and his buddy Fabian were in the campground pavilion with me and Sonny asked about a Trophy Trough I might make for him. That made me realize what I almost forgot to do. I exclaimed, "oh fuck!" and ran out of the pavilion to my truck. I'd made a custom 48" Trophy Trough for Captain Jake Mitchell, as a thank you for selling the raffle tickets and an acknowledgement of his status as a legitimate ambassador for Shelter Cove.
I presented the big Trough to Jake as the last move of the evening for the event, with only a handful of people there. I wish I would've remembered to present him with it while everyone was still there. Jake was stoked, and he told those of us standing there that he samples fish for a government science agency using a janky old trough. Now he's got a new tool for the measuring and something to remember us kayakers by.
