I don't think this belongs in this thread. Anyone interested in arguing would see the thread in the General forum anyway. I hope a moderator removes it. It reminds me of someone down south who rained on the aftermath of another outing.

Kids always make for good pictures.

Dilbeck caught a 6 lb bass on Saturday, and Tui Chub landed a 15 inch crappie on a Friday evening venture.

Wandered over to Melissa's EZ-Up to find another feast in motion.

Special post here. Rare sighting. Freddie NOT in shorts. 

Crappie caught by Francisco (Yakee)

More familiar faces ... Mooch, CaptainKayak, FisHunter, Mako1, Kingfisher, Mickfish

Oops. Here are Kingfisher and Mickfish

The sun finally set.

A few more pictures from Saturday OTW

I'm gonna let it stay....one of the others may choose to remove it but I believe it allows X to voice his concern without wrecking the party thread.......and I know how the partyboys of NCKA dig their epic get together threads    (thats for you mooch)

Danglin, did you really punt the raccoon like a football? 

Yes I did.....   

And after taking a look at your magic with a camera,

I'm thankful you did not get that on Film.....   

Sounds like a great time despite the weather.  Nice photos and reporting.   

I like the way Eric set the tournee up to encourage C&R.

Encourage...  It's a good word and concept.  I find much encouragement at this site.  To enthusiastically share our time, energy and resources together is one of the ultimate developments that we see occur as a result of the encouraging behavior here.  At times, discouragement surfaces.  To look for the half-full part of that I would say that the discouragement that arises is usually a product of someone's concern and very often a passion for resources, areas, or fishing practices.  I have learned here that using encouragement is a good way to try to achieve positive outcomes, and that using discouragement is a means of drawing negative energy into the forum.

In the end, encouraging behavior rules the day when this site is at its best.

Will definitely look for you next time (with video camera in hand). 

Thanx for the great fishing/campout report guys. I really wish I made it but I had signed up for a motorcycle race at Cow Mt. near Lakeport. They ended up canceling the race at the last minute due to the wx, after I drove up early Sunday am of course. All I could think of as I drove home over Hwy 175 was "I'll bet they won't cancel the fishing contest.....crazy NCKA kayakfishers!" Shoulda brought my yak and left the bike at home. 

Thanks for sharing those wonderful pictures Hojo. BTW, I have your converter. It
ended up inside the pop up trailer. I'll make sure to give it back next time I see you. Love the chicken you shared with us at the camp.
