WTG Alex, nice job. I haven't been perching in a long time. You'll have to remind me how it's done one of these days. Congrats again...

Freddie

Thanks again for a great day Alex! You are the perch king and a great guy for letting me tag along and bringing lunch!

Also thanks should go out to Allen Bushnell for helping put on a great event. The raffle was amazing with donations from Berkely, Bayside Marine and a ton of others. I won a subscription to WON, a shirt and a cap. Pat and Randy cleaned up winning a ton of stuff that they where kind enough to donate to the next NCKA raffle!

Thanks Alex for showing us how it's done........and thank you Allen for an exceedingly well done and prize rich event.
