BAMIII Highlights / October 5,6,7 2007

GTO's Dad was getting good fight!  Crossed w/ someone's minnow, but GTO carefully helps his dad.
They couldn't land the fish but putting good fight tho...

I was checking on Mahi's secret lures!
& he was try to run away from me...

Ben's his limit & ducky!

Big J's bigO LMB!
& everybody else fishing around her...

Ash was almost giving up, so she was just laying down relaxing... & got the big bendo!!!
She was screaming whole time & the fish was putting her everywhere...
They went towards Frankfishing & he got the bendo!?!?  We thought they hooked same fish, but all sudden fish split.  Double hook ups!!!

Her very 1st striper was bigger then mine, so yes she kicked my butt... but that's how it goes...

Last day was great swap meet!
Thanks to Frank's breakfast & tackle shop, I'm ready for Steelies now!!!
& thanks Brian for super nice Daiwa combo!

my highlights include.....


- Mike's bacon wrapped pork - I devoured 4 of 'em...
- Got to meet more NCKA'ers....
- The fact that both days that I fished, I started catching fish when Juan / Mako1 (Bueller) decided to move to another spot 
- Finally found a girlfriend ....her name is Ashley .....here's her picture 

sorry Mooch, she went back w/ me so I think she's still my girlfriend...
nice try tho... maybe next time, if you didn't scare her off...

found Dustin's bendo & right after Bob's too

Yes, look. Check out how there is noone else around in that first picture...just me, Bob, and Naoaki. Now take a look at the next pictures, taken just a few minutes later....lol.

J/K, Naoaki - you helped put a lot of people on fish that day!

Great pics, too bad I couldn't stay for the swapmeet!!

Naoaki............I can't believe you used the fish you caught in my backyard to pass me in AOTY.

You just put a target on your back! I coming for you!

As the AOTY clock winds down its going to get hardcore over the next few weeks, and I have essentially no free time 

....alright, I hope I get the "secret call/PM"  when you and Shimmy plan to hit Montezuma for revenge....buddy? 

Dude - You live right by the Napa River.

"They" are starting to get big stripers and sturgeon in there now!

I know, but it's no fun fishing like that ALONE!

1.  I will never miss this event again.  After the first two, somehow I could not make this one.....never again.

2.  Congratulations all for a great event.

3.  Next year count on 2 kegs (at least) of Sierra Nevada's finest.
