Tourney Results:

It's tough to accurately complete all the tabulating and compiling, and the team works hard to pull it off.  This year we had an unfortunate oversight when we left Brian Flood / TheDude out of the scoring when he should've gotten 7th place.  I thank Ron Saufferer for bringing it to my attention, and sorry, Brian, for the screwup!  I sent you something worthwhile in the mail - hopefully it makes up for our mistake.   

First place and Sportsman of the Day for highest all release score with 635.25 was Jim Jackson / Salty. - all fish released, release bonus on two fish including a 24"+ cab
Second with 618.75 was Shannon Jay / SRJ - all fish released, release bonus on two fish including a 33" ling
Third with 607.75 was Gary Charles / Bull Shark with 2 releases including a 23.5" cab
Fourth with 599.75 was Marcos Marroquin / Rockroach with 2 releases including a 23" cab
Fifth with 598.5 was Kiet Pham / Fried Bluegill - brought in a 34.75" ling and would've won the whole enchilada if he released that ling and his 22" cab (sorry, Kiet!   )
Sixth with 580 was Roland Abiva / PWD9MM
Seventh with 568.75 was Brian Flood / TheDude
Eighth with 555.5 was Jim Bennion / Cranky
Ninth was a tie at 530 between David Mason / Goldendog
and Chris Mayes / Clayman
11th - 526.25 - Erik Schmidt
12th - 521.75 - Brian Takagi
13th - 521 - Jeff Ornellas - 3 bonus releases but couldn't get a rockfish - 16.5" rocky would've won it (Sorry, JeffO!   )
14th - 509 - Jeff Baker
15th - 499.25 - Aaron Rough
16th - 441.5 - Ron Saufferer

Big salmon went to HobieDave Royston with a FAT 33.75" king that weighed in at a whopping 19 pounds!  That's a FAT salmon!!

Big lingcod and big fish of the day went to Michael Dilbeck with his 35.5" lingcod.

There was a special prize for most unique catch of the weekend.  Etienne Constable / Sackyack made a cool abalone hook pendant that went to Andy Morales / Fish Master1 for his catch of a Giant Octopus!

It was great fun to see people come in with their fish and to watch the leader board change over a few hours.  I couldn't have come close to finishing the scoring process without my team.  Thank you, Team!   

I didn't keep track of who won what prize, but it was cool to have enough stuff to go deep to around 25th place.

Again, Congrats to the top ten!  That was so much fun, I had a goal to place in the top ten, but the fish gods denied me a rockfish that day for whatever reason, so it wasn't meant to be    Its all good though, just being able to fish a place like Shelter Cove with all you guys was incredible.  Eric, I cant thank you enough for putting this all together.  And thank you for the awesome shwag bag and my dry bag I got for 13th place.  Eric, if you ever find yourself down in our neck of the woods I know guys will be lining up to take you to their best fishing spots, I'll be right there in the front of the line man.  Thanks again Eric, and congrats everyone. 

Eric,

Thanks for another epic weekend of friends, fishing, and lots of fun. None of this is possible without all of your hard work and we all appreciate it! Can't wait for the next one.

Roger

Thanks, Guys.   

...

ERIC!

Thank You!

Can we make this into a twice a year tourney?

Eric, if you ever find yourself down in our neck of the woods I know guys will be lining up to take you to their best fishing spots, I'll be right there in the front of the line man. 

YES +1  x10 !!!

I think you forgot to include Rancid "Two Sheds" Rob in your list of winners.  He was #26, sort of like the Mr. Irrelevant in NFL drafts.  He got a sweet belt rod-holster.  Rob's been impossible the last few days, constantly berating his friends for finishing out of the top 26 places.  Someone needs to take him down a notch.
