MBK 2011 Results and PIX....Please post your pix here

Sounds and looks like a great event.  WTG, Eug, Joel, Dave on your wins - Allen on organizing - and Ken too.  It's always fun to read of the fun and competition.   

Congrats to you all. Sorry i missed the fun. Next time. Thanks for the reports.

Another excellent event. There were definitely some odd things going on. Eugene winning again. Seeing Mooch out there and catching lings right next to me, and winning second place. Way to go Joel. Chalk one up for the power of positive prayer.
Seeing three Filipinos riding and fishing from the same Hobie Adventure Island. They claimed they couldn’t afford their own kayaks and went together to get the Hobie. There are positives to being smaller framed. Three guys my size would have sunk that boat.
Then there was the early morning fireworks display. I heard a familiar popping and looked just past the shoreline. A constant stream of sky rockets was going up. It lasted between one and two minutes. WTF. 
Shortly after that an Octopus took a liking to my swimbait. Should have used it for bait but decided to let it go. Unlike other Octopus I’ve caught it took its sweet time making it’s way over to a scupper hole and  then, for a minute hung out, half in half out of the scupper hole. Guess it wasn’t too eager to make its way through the gauntlet back to the bottom. Four hours later I land on the beach and I pull the yak about 30 feet up off the surf line. As I’m gathering my stuff the Octopus crawls out from under my kayak. Evidently for the previous four hours, I’d been paddling around with a hitchhiker. I made some kids and parents day by letting them handle and do photo ops with my passenger and then back into the water he went.
Fishing wise I took home a half limit of rockies and some mackerel   .

Congratulations to the winners!

E2G what a solid win!

 Joel, second place with a very respectable brace of lings, nice! It's starting to feel like old times.

Daviator, way to go (someone had to make Joel sweat it a little for 2nd)

I had too much on my plate to attend, but am enjoying the stories and pics.

Had a blast, as usual, at the MBK Derby!    One of my favorite events, since its actually somewhat close to home    Thanks so much too SCAllen, MBK, The Big Sur Commando's, and everyone else that made it out to have a fun relaxing day on the water with good friends!    Congrads Eugene, HaLingSlayer!    Though I didn't catch any real fish, I did end up finding squid and making a ton of bait while trying for WSB's with Pat    Sara and I fried them up last night and they were good!     

Had a nice time visiting everyone, even though I didn't fish.  My sympathies to all who, like me, got stuck in serious gridlock around San Juan Bautista due to the brush fire.  Took over 2 1/2 hours to cover the 65 miles home from MBK.  Major suck!  Should have taken Hwy 1 north.

I bought a fishing rod for Aaron's benefit sale.  No doubt will bang some fisheez with it.

Congrats to the winners, placers, and participants.

Congrads to all of you!!!!   it reads & looks like you all had a great time. Seeing Mooch w/fish he caught from his kayak is somthing I thought I'd never get to see again   
Thanks for clickin and sharing fellas! 

I didnt get many photos, or even GoPro footage, but I had a great time! My first time fishing this event. I targetted halis up until I heard the fleet was bangin' WSB, then I fished for them. Had a few boats hook up around me out in 120 feet, but nothing but pesky gophers for me.

Great to see everyone, as usual.

GREAT pics, Al!

I thought I was going to win this tourney, but when I didn't catch any fish I said to myself "well that sure lowers my chances". Had fun and a good time hangin with the bros. The afternoon WSB hunt wiped me out. I least I caught a few meals on Sun at SWS with A"Ling"D and Novofish.

thanks for putting on a great event, it was another good learning experience.  i tried for salmon & halibut and ended up with rockfish & released a canary.

Big thanks Allen and MBK for another great tourney. Congrats Eugene, Joel, and Dave on the win. I only managed to catch a couple of rockies and that was it for
me. Looking forward to fishing with all of you again soon.

You too, we missed you Russ...

Another of the unfortunate that weren't able to make this event.     The only thing that takes the sting off of not being able to attend is that we won our soccer tournament.

Hopefully next year!

My first MBK tourney sure was fun. Thanks Allen and MBK!
It was good to see the NCKA brotherhood represented so strongly.
Congrats to the lucky winners, and Mooch what can I say, you put another podium under your belt!

My day started off with some of the usual organizational issues - there sure is a lot of stuff to remember with this kayak fishing hobby.
Finally got OTW with a plan of catching big fish out further - that plan didn't quite pan out.
My fishing hi-lite of the day was a triple of Macks on the lite sabiki rod, it was exciting to have 3 of those cool looking fish flopping around on the Hobie.
Caught one more rockfish and that was it for me. After a 2 dog lunch went back out with Rob, Rey, Jed and Glen out to the fleet.
I was thinking this was my best shot at a WSB, but after I hooked a Pelican and had to cut my rig off I was hesitant to open and dig around for leader material in my Plano box, due to the bumpy conditions.
So, after hearing Rey get yelled at by a PB for being too close to his boat, I decided to start heading in. Had a couple more fish on for a few seconds on the swimbait but nothing stuck. Even worked the pier for a bit hoping for some AOTY perch love but again failed.
Tired, Rob and I got back to the Vet's campground, where we BBQ'ed some Brats with Jimbo, cracked a few beers, got yelled at by the ranger for having a charcoal fire - charcoal fire!!??? After dinner went over to Mooch's camp to listen to some good campfire BS.

Sunday we hit SWS, my first time fishing there was a good time. Met Adam out there, caught a few dinner fish, released a few fish, lost about 4 good fish close to the yak. On the way home hit some traffic, Rob had his GPS so we did some backroads to avoid the fray and ended up taking I-5 home to the valley. Stopped at Andersen's Pea soup for a chicken fried steak dinner and to pick up some WAF cookies for the girls. Then, as the sun set I drove the remaining 2 hours back to Woodland listening to Rob snore.

What a weekend!
Can't wait for Caples and another chance for those elusive big fish.
