Fish pron overload! Congrats to all those who attended.

It's early, but my 2012 resolution is to make GS6! 

Food...

A-hulls...And a Banana Slug.

This was my second time participating in a GS event, but last year I only came for the day. I learned the BEST way to attend a GS event is to stay the whole weekend!  To meet and talk story, to put screen names to real names and faces, to enjoy sharing good foods and just having a good time - priceless. I am a freediver, I feel I do much better with getting dinner by looking my fish in the eye.  Even then, everyone, I mean EVERYONE, was willing to help me get ready to with my fishing gear and kayak for GS5.  THANK YOU for giving me a warm welcome and support. I learned so much!! Including to wear better gear to stay warmer and drier for the next torrential rain.... I don't think I have ever been so cold in my life!! I even caught some respectable fish despite the fact I was late joining up with my team. 

Congratulations to all the winners and their fine catches!

THANK YOU ERIC for putting on such a successful and thoroughly enjoyable event!!

Terry, you showed us all the potential that Shelter Cove really has. That halibut is the coolest thing I have seen yet kayak fishing. If anyone has OTW pics of any Big Hammer swimbaits please send them to me. I am compiling an article to send Big Hammer about GS5. I will try to up their sponsorship for our events. Craig

Craig I think I have one....the one that stole my rod and broke my trough
