Gimme Shelter 4 - Epic as Predicted - 5/14/2010-5/16/2010

Nice...Truly epic!

Jim, you are a class act, and nobody was more deserving of that new boat than you are.  I really enjoyed meeting you and your family, and look forward to fishing with you again soon.

Eric, you are the man!  Thank you.

Yakhopper, thanks for the tackle to get me back out on the water yesterday, I managed a black to take home for my little guy to pig out on, thank you.

Eric, thank you for the beater and the gaff.

GN, thanks for freeing up my feet and salvaging one of my rods.

Keith, thanks for holding my yak so I could crawl back on.

Big Jim, thanks for offering me a beer as soon as I hit the seat, I will take a rain check and have one with you next time.

Al, thanks, you and your wife are fantastic.
Stoggie, you are good people, and cannot wait to hit stillwater with ya.

Everyone else, thank you for a phenominal weekend.

Spooner, where are you?  People want to talk to you about something........

Congrats Big Jim! You're the GS4 Slayer! 

For all - I have the pics of the 19" Cabbie Jim caught and released. You all have to wait until I get home though since I am on the road and won't get back home to post the pics until Friday evening. Thanks to my Team Shark Bait team mates BigJim and fishinmike for the great fishing adventure and thanks to our host Eric BlackAB for loaning me his spare paddle.

Congrats again Jim! Will post the pics later this week. Sorry man my camera is home and I'm on the road.

First the Saints!  Now BigJim!   

I love the shots of the T-15 next to your old boat!

Meh. Looks like I didn't miss much.   

Thanks for all of the reports and pics, er'body!

Big Jim - I've never even met you, but just by reading your posts and knowing what kind of person you are through your words - I also can't think of a more deserving GS4 Champ.

WTG!

WOW! SEEMS LIKE I MISSED OUT BIG TIME ON THE GS4 EVENT! AWESOME REPORTS AND PICS SO FAR AND CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE! CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS AND DID I SEE AND HEAR JOHN CAUGHT A KING? SUPER SWEET!

Many Many thanks to you on a job well done once again putting a great event for all of us to enjoy Eric. Big congrats to you BigJim on taking first
place and coming home with the new kayak. I'm sure you'll be catching and
slaying a lot more fish from here on. That kayak fits you perfectly BTW.

The potluck was awesome. There was so much food that we didn't have any
more room for the other dish that kept coming as the party went on.

Thanks Andy(FishMaster1) for saving me some slice of abs. Thanks James
(AbMan) for sending me home with an ab and Andy( BaitNBeer) for the Uni.
Dude, the Uni was great.

I am glad I brought my family this year. They had a wonderful time, specially
staying at the Inn where you wake up in the morning right in front of the ocean.

Looking forward to next year GSV.

Thank you to FishFarmer for teaming up and the use of the radio and your extra rod after mine snapped.

I look forward to more weekends like this in the future.

Special shout to BigJim, WTG!  Congrats.  My kids really enjoyed hanging out with your daughter, she is a sweetheart.

Thanks Crash!!

We really enjoyed meeting you and your family as well!! Ana took some very nice pics of your girls and Valentina playing and I think I will make an additional album on FaceBook and post all the kiddie pics there so you can just download whichever ones you want!!

Hope we get to see you guys again soon!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Let's just say there was some aggressive seal activity both saturday & today. This pic is one of two different lings I caught that had been bitten. Not to mention the personal indignity inflicted upon me by a seal. But I did extract my revenge..... Thanks for the bat Guitarzan! 

Tell us what the seal did to you.

Quick post of John/Bird's Salmon. Congratulations John.....more to come

I have to add thanks to the camp owners for being extremely hospitable to us.. very nice people!  

Also, was great meeting / fishing / crabbing with kayakjack.. it was huge having someone on the team who had been to SC and knew his way around.    I can officially say that team "TeamWithNoName #1" had a great time!
