PIF 2012

Some more pix...

Did anyone other than me and GB2 get a parking ticket?   

"missed it by THAT much..."   there's another 39 clams down the drain lol

Awesome day!  Awesome event!  Thanks everybody that helped put this thing together.  Thanks to Jeff for the tasty Jello shots.

Here's my video.  Just wish I had some better footage of slaying some salmon in it.  That's why I can't wait until next year.

No parking ticket but I did try to PIF by giving my PAID parking pass to anyone looking to park.  It was paid till midnight but nobody wanted it.  Even had a front row spot for them right next to London Pub.  Oh well .... it's the thought that counts, right?

Headed down to Als and Sara's place from the barn about 3am got to their place early Friday and we loaded up trucks for PIF got there kinda early sat with AL and helped setup a little than went out to fish...kept hearing were at the red can but they weren't everyone was half way there...so I finally gave up the hunt and joined in the party...


PIF is such and Awesome HOOKUP!!!  and everybody that helped you know who you are THANK YOU!!!

took 180+ pics/vids and Al is going to help put a vid together of the day!!!  Man what a GREAT TIME WE HAD!!!  Some would argue I was having a little bit more than most but hey What can I say it was for a Incredible Cause

vid to folow...

Way to go everyone!!!!  Can't wait for PIF 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sara and all the A-Hulls, for another great event!

THANK YOU EVERYONE 

....off to Vegas with Sara 


I usually don't drink....
But when I do, I will always toast to NCKA
Stay healthy My family

Straight up awesomeness.

 

I'd be a liar though if I didn't say that I thought we were gonna beat last years 9K mark....

I thought this years PIF was the best so far in MANY respects (weather, fishing, comraderie, variety of killer prizes, grand prize donated by an NCKA member, given by the winner to HOW etc) , but between now and next year I will be thinking of ways we can make it even COOLER....and, most importantly IMO, how we can generate even more $$ for the cause.

Love you Joel and am proud that I am able to help the A-Hulls out with this event.

 

Sincerely,

Jim

 

The A hulls did an awesome job. I think the economy had something to do with the slightly lower revenues. This year was the best event ever and not just because of the fishing. It was the smoothest run event and Sarah did a great job as always. Kind of missed Porky and hope he can make it next year. The flotilla was great and the only time when we just hang out together on the water and party. My favorite day of the year and it exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for what NCKA is about, come to PIF and feel the love.

Kind of missed Porky and hope he can make it next year.

Scott, Pork and his family were there.  He had to bail early while everyone was still landing b/c his daughter wasn't feeling it.  Totally wish he had hung around to bs some more, too.
It was a great event.  Had such a good time, and revitalized in me a yakfishing urge that had been somewhat dormant over this summer.

Wish I hadn't started my swim so late.  next year i'll def make it to the OTW party on time lol.  Its great to see families coming out in a friendly environment and everyone having a great time, and to promote the cause

That's great! Good job everybody! Makes me proud to be part of such a cool group. I think this year was the best so far: the fishing was rediculous, the potluck was scrumptious, and the raffle was awesome. When Scott's name was announced, I was so fired up! After putting a bunch of guys on salmon, it seemed like karma or something. Then, to donate the yak to HOW is 1 of the coolest gestures I've ever witnessed. So cool! And it's the perfect fishing platform for HOW due to it's unrivaled stability. Hella karma.

Scott,

I was looking for you as the yaks were coming in, I knew you would have some salmon! Unfortunately I did not see you before we left. I got to the beach early and did a dive with Jim and Nathan. I had my family meet me waaaaaay to early and my daughter was ready for a nap before the feast even started. If your out fishing this way soon, I coulduse some salmon lessons

Martin, Great talking with you, as always!
