Berryessa Salmon Slam Deux!

And More

Thanks Ricci and everybody else who made it happen, Series Sh/t! I'll see u up north dawg

Had a great time! Fun trying a new style of fishing. First time trolling for kokes and salmon. Lots to learn.... Ricci and the gang thanks for all the work you put it to make this a great outing. Congrats to the winners, and to John, Jim and Craig for AOTY too. Weather got a bit hotter than I care for, but it beats rain. Good location for the outing too. My first time there. I like the diversity of the area. Sum fine eating there too.

I had a blast!  Thanks Ricci, Christina and everyone who help make it happen!

Forgot to mention congrats to John (Bird) for the AOTY. You had the fishing year of a lifetime. It was a pleasure to share one of those moments with you. As I mentioned to you, I will help you convert your Adventure to an AI and then we can hunt some giants. 

Rob - There isn't a person in NCKA, except for maybe your buddy Adam,  who I respect more on freshwater and am so happy that you won. You are a class act and look forward to fishing with you more. Your contributions to HOW and other events has come back to you. Good things happen to those who give to others.

Those pics of Keil/Andy Al/Sara with their blissfully happy expressions are priceless great pics everyone....

Thank you Scott.

I wouldve been there Ricci got the 28th & 22nd events mixed up... Im not so good at making it to tournaments apparently... Or planning... Although Im excited about silver lake

Huge thanks to Ricci, and everyone else who helped organize and support, and the sponsors for setting this up.  Berry is my home lake and there is no other local lake I would pick to have as my home turf.  I apologize for not chiming in earlier but I work in the pharmaceutical industry and we have had yet another Health Authority inspection this week which means 24/7 pain.  Oh well!  I needed Sunday badly, if not to just forget about work for a few hours, but to get in some camping time with the family and multi-hour time on the water.  BSSII lived up to everything I was hoping for.  I have a few pics I'll post later, but I just wanted to say thank you to all involved, all of the familiar faces, and all of the new faces I met.  Grats to Rob on your win!  It will only motivate me more for next years BSIII 

Thank you Scott.

you're my dawg, too! 

Thanks Ricci and crew for all your work putting this event together. Naomi and I had fun, friends and food the best, and I finally caught my first kokanee. Congrats to RacinRob and all the BSS2 winners. And also congrats to Bird, the NCKA AOTY!
