You don't say. 
You the Man, Sledge!

First of all Thanks Joe & Co. you guys put up a kick ass event, and as always NCKA never ceased to amazed me on potluck..damn all good food was out...I had a great time, except on my way up there I rear end a van at Petaluma.. Navigation on Cell sucks dont use it....other than that it was amazing..congrats to all the winners!

I have never had a better time getting skunked than at the Red Barn Classic II (or the aptly retitled Red Tide Classic). Thanks to all the organizers and the NCKA family for making RBC an event to remember!

See you all at RBCIII.

+1 on that Adam and glad your wife is OK. I actually got skunked 4 times in 3 days. Molly and I got skunked by a real skunk Friday morning before I left. Washed the dog and took a shower and got skunked at Tomales with Bird Friday afternoon. Got up early on Saturday and got lost then skunked with John, Craig and the NCKA luminaries. Then Tote skunked me twice at cribbage. All that said, what a great time. I came to fish a new location and hang out with old friends and I achieved all of my goals.

Joe thanks for organizing and thanks to those who helped you like Lucky 13 and others. Sorry about the yak sinking. You are a first class guy and the sweatshirt alone was worth the trip.

49er Fan - Congratulations on a well deserved victory. Anybody who can hook a monster ling in a red tide and white caps has some serious ju ju. I got home in time to watch the entire 49ers win over the Eagles and was thinking this guy is having a great weekend. Man what a game!!!

Jack thanks for the taco shack. The tacos and salsa were the bomb. I cleaned a lot of fish until I cut my thumb on a ling tooth and Darius stepped in to finish the job. See you at Doran for crabs this winter and the next HOW event. Thanks for the tequilla also.

Tote - really good to see you and sorry Becky didn't make the  trip. Really had a good time playing cribbage even though I got my butt whooped as you predicted. 

JWR the duck was the bomb, even if you didn't shoot it.

The BBQ oysters were awesome. Don't know who the guy was, but, THANKS!!!

Angel good to see you and you are right that you have more camera skills than Art. 

Dustin - you got the cutest son in Sonoma. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Ben - we are going to miss you.

Ryan and Kat - you guys launched into some gnarly stuff that guys I fished with passed on. More power to you and for the first time on the ocean, Kat did great!

yeah you the man, Sledge... just point your ass somewhere else next time before you bend down to pull your pants back up 

Great turn out. Met new and old faces. The fishing sucked, but I didn't go up there for the fishing. Thanks to Joe and Allen for hosting this great event again. Congrats to Anthony for pulling out the winning ling in that ugly condition.

I took some footage of the event. Sorry the sound sucks. I'm still learning how to use my GoPro.

This is the day before the tourney...


This is the hotpot dinner scene. A few more showed up than anticipated...


and during the award ceremony...

What's going on?

Wow, what a party !, wish I could have made it. Congrats to 9erfan for the win with that HUGE ling. A big shout out to everyone that made it happen. Glad to hear that everyone made it back safe considering the conditions.

 the vid i posted is on page 4, aI don't know what everyone is complaining about.. I get skunked all the time this last year... but not this time! I got 11 mostly small blackfish. couple unidentified.. I fished the "x" on the previous posted map..it all went to the fish tacos.. Saturday my apartment flooded, the freakin landlords here suck so badly, he had broken a pipe upstairs and didnt know it.. for who knows how long.?.. had to empty closet floor and a heavy loaded book shelf, dresser and table remove padding and try to dry.. but then I looked up and see the ceiling is also wet... what do I do about that? anyway its midnight so you have to wait till tomorrow to see more pics of mine too pooped to post..or look on my fb.

That was last November's Tule Lake mallard contributed by NovatoDave and cooked by JWR.  1st you start with a hefty sized duck.  Just split it up the back, spread it out then flatten it out (like your whole body weight on your hands flat).  Score the skin so it vents.

Cook it breast side down 1st for 7 or so minutes based on temperature until its really browned well then flip it over for 15 or 20.  Keep an eye on it but you can't really hurt the inside so cook it well.

No marinade?????
What spices did you use?
I have had duck in the past and never really cared for it.
This was freaking amazing so I want all the details I can get.
I am seriously going to order duck next time I see it on the menu. I only hope it can compare.
Might even break out the shotgun and get a duck hunting license this year.

I would like the recipe too if you dont mind. I blast a lot of ducks, and Cody seemed to love it. Tote, I had fun too. Let's go troll for stripers in the delta, and blast ducks and geese at the same time, it was fun doing it last year, and look to do it a lot more this year!

Waiting for Joe to tell his story for us... Joe. we are waiting....  Remember we can all learn from others mistakes.... Come on Joe....

Just wanted to say thank to everyone especially Joe and Jedmo.  It was a tough trip. Went nearly three days without sleep, but it was worth it to get to meet everyone.  To those of you who got jig heads thanks so much.  Caught my fish on the red mega bait like jig.  I love the iron for rock fish.  The food was unreal too.  Thanks so much.

You guys all need to try harder to have a good time.
 

I'll have to put this on next year's list.

Congrats to Joe for pulling off a spectacular event. Glad it went well.
Hope you are ok re; the sinking yak, Yikes!
