The officail Albion report

Craig another outstanding event. Lots of thanks to you and Linelle.  Thank you Harry and Joe for some great food.  Harry PM me so we can hook up for a dive.  Thanks to my brother for going out with me, when I know he would of rather been diving with bloodbath.  Thanks to Ocean Kayak for its generosity (it is the kayak I have been using for years), Big Hammer swim baits,which I used to catch my biggest 2 fish on, and all of the other great sponsors.

In total I landed 6 legal lings, 1 cab, and about 20 rockies.

What an incredible event. Well done Craig!

Forgot to mention that Chadrock brought some home made brew that was off the hook!
Some of the micro breweries should take note..

Without Linelles help I could never have done it. It all went perfect. Total stress the last week. The clothing came on Tuesday with half the order and the other half came Thursday night around 6PM. Just 13 hours before we were to leave Petaluma.

All the contestants, family members, people who really helped and didn't criticize, made this event again a true showing of what we are all about. Giving to our own and coming together in a spirit that is high and strong. Thank you all for without you its nothing.

Ill post more tonight as Im about to head back to work. I miss being there now. Aloha!

in the three words of MontanaRich "I HAD FUN!" 

Too bad I had to miss the main event. But like FisHunter said, "I had fun" on Thursday night when I got the chance to stop and say hi to those that were there. Next year, those crabs better have their A game on, there will be lots of little kids striving to join the "I had fun" club again!

It was great weekend. Berta and I had a great time. I think Berta had the best time this time out of the trips we have done together with NCKA. Sat the fish just did not quite participate for me. I ended up with three species, but a Greenling just does not add too much weight. I knew after Adam hit the check in and what he had was heavier than mine, I did not even bother making it to the weigh in this year. Fri Sat was the worst weather I have fished in. Sun was much  better. I ended up Sun with a PB Ling at 32" 11 lbs. Also had a double on lings Sunday. That was fun. Can't wait for next year.
    Tote, you should have pointed out the whale. I had my hood up and had a hard time hearing noises around me. Surprised I did not hear the blow up. I'll add pics later.

Thanks for a good time Craig and Linelle

Had a great time! Here is one photo of the Wolf Eel I caught with the Big Jim pose 

Seems my camera batteries died so all other fish were filleted before the wife took this one.

Haha Jim that's awesome!   

Thanks and Congrats to Craig & Linelle for creating & executing another successful Albion event! It looks & sounds like an incredeible experience.
And Congrats to all the winners. Not surprised by the Top 3. There's some damn good fishermen here. And fisherwomen! Not surprised Trace won.
And Steve--nice salmon dude! Very cool.

Thank you to all the guys that helped me get back on the kayak after I went for a swim, I know that is was not easy to get back on it and all of you were tempted on using the gaff.
It was a learning experience. Thanks again for your help.
By the way I went out on the kayak on Sunday and I got my first blood on the kayak.

Congrats to the winners!  Thanks Craig and Linelle, and to all of you who posted pics and your memories here.

With much regret I could not attend, but seeing the reports is the next best thing.

That Salmon is a freakin beast!

Thanks Craig and the misses. Killer event and I had a wonderful time. I only got 1 pic right now I'll download the rest later. This pic was from our campsite at schooners little bastard was waving at me. Even tho I'm pretty sure he is of legal size
