Looks like 2nd place will get that Trident Angler 15...

I specified in the rules that the AOTD points winner gets to choose a prize, then 2nd places chooses one, then 3rd...etc.  I made it that way because I'm not eligible for the "grand prize" new kayak, so I'll choose the new paddle when I win.   :smt004 :smt006

I don't know what it is, but I've been having trouble concentrating at work. I get butterflies in the stomach. Kept thinking about what I need to bring, things I need to prepare, coming up with a plan of attack, what food to bring to the pot-luck, how am I going to put an extra kayak on the roof of the van? Meanwhile, I total forgot about my wife's birthday dinner tonight until she called to find out what time I'd be home. The last time I felt like this was probably when I was planning my wedding, that's 19 years ago. I don't know man. This is just weird. It's not like I haven't fished or been to the ocean before. I wonder what voodoo magic spell this Eric guy had cast on the participants. Perhaps it's the magic of the Lost Coast?

 Since I have only fished from the yak for 6 days this year and this will be the first time in "10" on the big blue - would it be rude to dominate?  :smt005
I will have the trailer full with 3 of my yak's and 1 from fishdit so I guess I could strap the new blue yak on my roof for the ride home.  :smt003
Also as all my yaks are yellow I am taking offers for the new blue. :smt044
If you all need some pointers I will be glad to give them on MONDAY :smt044 :smt044 :smt044
4 DAYS TO GS4
