F.W. Tiki Event Results - Season Finalley

Great event, it was awesome to see everyone. Thanks to Bryan for fishing with me. Rog, great to see you too, hopefully you will be able to get out with me at least once this winter for some Lafayette Trout. I think I may have caught the smallest striper of the day. My smallest ever, that's for sure. Thank you Eric for running the show. I'll be sure to do business with the companies who sponsored the series.

A bit of a late report, I managed to get the flu on Monday night.    Anyway, I had a lot of fun at the Tiki tournament. Me and SeaChumm (Aaron) headed to the Delta early Saturday and we worked Paradise Point area all day with some success. We were catching fish, but all small LM and small Stripers. I think the best fish of my weekend was a 11.25” Blue Gill I caught on my ultra light rod. I was very excited since I never catch panfish! On Sunday, we had about the same luck as everyone else, little LM and little stripers. And like everyone else we had a great time. It was pretty cool showing up at the awards and everyone was in a great mood, smiling and joking around. And when Eric started throwing out the free gear and everyone was fighting over it, all I could think was “adult pińata.” I laughed my butt off.   

Thanks again to Eric, Fisherman’s Warehouse, Ocean Kayak, Lowrance and all the other sponsors that contribute to these fun events. I’m going to try to make them all next year. We didn’t get many great pics, but here’s a few from this weekend.

Holy smokes, what did you catch that monster Bluegill on??

Let's see if this works...(been trying to get pics posted for days...keep getting the message "files too big"...at first I thought it said "fish too big" and I was like whaaaaaat?   )

Shad colored Rapala on 6 lb test. Here's another shot of him. I sent him back down to get bigger after the pictures.

Finally some computer time. Thanks again Eric and to the generous sponsors for another awesome event. Congrats  Kirk, Connor, and Ashley on placing in the top three. So stoked for Narissa on winning the grand prize of the year. I still can't believe how high she leaped from joy and being pregnant and all didn't face her at all. I can't wait to see you all again soon.

I said it once and ill say it again, I love these events. It was fun seeing so much plastic. Everywhere and seeing all the homies! Congrats to all the winners it was well deserved. Awesome day otw and I had fun. Thanks Eric,  your the man.

Congrats to all!...from Win, to Place, to Show.

Congrats to all the winners.. I'm still hoping that one of these events will have the top three as females (working in a tackle store where most men don't think women fish, it's a highlight to see woman win).
Also I would like to say Thank you to Eric for making these events possible, they are truly some of the best highlights of living in California. (no offense to other tournament coordinators I love all events but Eric has 4)
