What can I Say that hasn't been said already,
This event was way over the top and I am glad to have been a part of it.
To the best of my knowledge this was the first "PARTY AT THE MILE BUOY" ever
I would like to thank Porky for creating the "PAY IT FORWARD EVENT" and all those who were there, as all helped in some way.
Some organized, others cooked and many bought tickets and everybody made this day special for a great person.

Joel - I (We) love you brother
You have been the light house of NCKA for many of us, always shining and showing us the way.
When I showed up to my first NCKA event you were there welcoming me with open arms and a great smile.
When I was frustrated with some of the growing pains of NCKA you convinced me to be patient and see it through.
Even with things are not so bright now, you still had a sharp wit and friendly smile for all.

I was asked the other day, why I drive to such distances when there is better fishing close at hand.
The only response I could give was "To help a friend".

You have touched me and many others is so many positive ways you couldent beguin to imagine.
For these reasons I am proud to call you FRIEND. 

If there is ever any time you need my help, don't hesitate to call

See Ya Soon,
Eric / Yakhopper

Great pics Hojo!

Anyone got on the water pics of the floating party?

Thanks for everything Mooch. You've inspired a lot of people. My wife & I were having a very difficult week but this experience was so emotionally uplifting...that it sort of restored my faith in humanity. We're blessed to have this community of wonderfully generous people. At this point, it's not even a question of IF you'll beat this thing...but, instead, how much of a badass you're gonna be afterwards!  

Great pics Hojo!

Anyone got on the morewater pics of the floating party?

I've seen some that haven't been posted. Will see what I can do. Maybe the original clickers will post them up.

Also have several more to post up tonight.
