PIF 2012

I had a great time once again! Thanks to all the sponsors and everybody who helped make it happen. My shoulders are still kinda sore from that night paddle with Sledge and Alien lol we got back on the beach at like 830. Still hammered. Whew that was a long day!

This was my first PIF and I had a great time hangin out with good friends and making new ones!  A HUGE THANK YOU to the A-Hulls for organizing this awesome event!

Wow what a great day. Always my favorite day of the year. Molly and I had a great time, especially Molly. 

Thanks to the A Hulls for organizing, and all who donated prizes especially Jim. Thanks to all who brought food. I ate till I could eat no more.  Sarah your curry was off the hook, post up the recipe.

Joel and Marv, you guys are cancer survivors. Keep fighting the fight. You are always in our thoughts and prayers.

The salmon derby raised $120 for PIF and it was great to see so many catch their first mooching salmon. RacinRob took 1st place with a beautiful 21# 5 oz king. Really nice to add some quality fish to an already great event.

I never intend to win anything in the raffle, because Nathan wins everything.  This year I won the Raptor and a Bending Branches paddle. I donated the Raptor to Heroes on the Water. The Raptor is an awesome design and perfect for NCAL fishing fresh or salt. I am trying to trim down and simplify my fishing equipment. I promised Karen I would get down to 2 kayaks by the end of the year so I had no room for the Raptor. Also, the Raptor is a sweet boat and should be paddled as primary kayak. The Heroes on the Water events are getting really big so it seemed like the right thing to do to pay the Raptor forward one last time. I donated a Loomis rod as a prize and was happy Chad won it. Chad puts in his time on freshwater and is a great guy.  Pics to follow.

Really great catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.

My family and I really enjoyed coming to the event.  Even though I showed up way too late and left too early, I had a lot of fun hanging out.  I never even wet a line, but who needs to when you have so many friends?
