Albion 2010

The dude who showed up because he was going over the bridge and saw all the kayaks and campers was Keith Keahi from Maui.

Craig, it's really a small world. A few years back I sold keith his Ocean Kayak when I was still working at Aquan. I did mention to him about the NCKA family but I guess he did the lurker thing for a while. Anyway, I'm glad he stopped by and stayed for the weekend.

Keith. it's time you stop lurking and chime in 

is this keith? i was buzzin pretty good but i remember this guy was from hawai and new to the club

That's him!!!

Cool cat!!
 
Sincerely,

Jim

And finally, a lttle story of a cabezon.  A cabezon caught on wednesday before the tourny. A cab that was weighed , photographed and released. Apparently when there is no corpse, accusations of BS arise. NCKA members (I won't mention Montana's name), strangers, even the game warden implied that I might be lying.  So in my own defense, here is what an 11 pound cabbie from Albion looks like.

Holy cabezon batman!! I believe you I was actually looking for that one on Saturday

I would like to give a huge thanks to everyone for posting up so many pics of this awesome event. My wife is into scrap booking big time and usually comes away from our vacation trips wishing she had more pics. She and I keep looking through these threads and are constantly amazed at the quality of the pictures everyone took. They'll make that weekend last forever. A special thanks to Fishmaster 1 who captured the best pic of my son I've seen so far and the only one of me with my game clip of small fish from Saturday.

Aslo, thanks to the guys who took Rich and my kids up the river Saturday afternoon. The kids loved that. Thanks BigJim for loaning my son your big yak. You're a first class guy. I'm glad to call you and many others my friend.

I can't wait for next year. The atmosphere in camp was like nothing I've ever been a part of before.

Thanks to everyone who made this happen.  

Ed and Al, it was just pure ass joy meeting you two. Your energy and enthusiasum is a cut above. Thats a GD monster cab for sure. Thanks for the sunset pic in UT. Awesome. Till we meet again, Craig

that is a f-ing beautiful hog of a cabbie, damn , cameron
