I try to explain NCKA to people all the time, I call it a club, a forum page ect. I say it's where I talk to all my friends and buddies about fishing, hookups, and just life. They usually ask where everyone is from, and when I tell them all over they ask, have you met everyone? when I say no, only a few, they say how can you call someone a friend or buddy with having never met them. I never knew the words to say why, but now I know now why. Having never met Mooch in person, he was one of the first to welcome me to the site. Reading his post and seeing him in so many pictures knowing what he was going through,  you couldn't help but feel like you knew him. Fast forward to today, and just seeing the pictures and them bringing tears to your eyes, that's when you know the people on this site are not your acquaintance, but your friends, your buddies!!!!
Thank you Craig....

I didn't actually meet Mooch in person until out on the water at the first PIF...but already knew he was my friend for life.

Bruddah Mooch, Hana Paa.

whenever a kayak angler feels happy with their catch, Mooch is watching. He is in the wind in the AI sail, the wiggle of a swimbait, and the ray of sun that burns off the chill fog.
