F.W. 2013 "Yakhopper" Kayak Event

Eric, Verna & all the sponsors,

Thanks for a great event.  Enjoyed seeing everyone and all the good food. 

Didn't enjoy the very windy ride home but made it home safe.

Congratulations Ashley -- sooooo glad you won the grand prize, you deserve the win and congratulations to all the winners.

I'm still licking my lips at the thought of fried pan fish!

try deep fried bluegill with fish sauce (nuoc mam), garlic, and some thai chili.  was my one of my favorites as a kid.

 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!! My son and I had an amazing time.Congrats to all the winners,the food was amazing!!! Saturday was the first time I've had poke and it was amazing thanks to who ever brought that  . Fishing was slow for us spent the first hour trying to catch blue gill for bait.Most were to big in fact the first was 9.5 I thought I had a chance of placing with that one,but no dice.Finally got some bait size and drifted them the rest of the day for nothing.
 That wind on the way home was no joke!! glad it held off till after the event.

Awesome event Eric!!!

I really wanting to make one and finally did...

I must say you have the best SWAG bags I have ever seen...  Thanks a ton,,,  pretty kool to walk away with that loot for just swimming around the delta with some Bros...

 Really though,  That is a Damn strong effort you and your crew put out...

 Very Impressive and have always thought You have really brought a tournament series together that is truly what kayak fishing is about...

 it's not about the money or the competition, but it's nice to have a shot at something, and you have truly brought your connections together to make the most of it...

  Strong work once again!!!

Sorry I had to Blitz so early but duty called, catch up the Mooch shirt in the future soon,

 Oh and...

  Dodgers Still Suck....

Very relaxing camp site and lot's of fun loving people.  Fun playing with the uke again with crew!  Carrie (Weimeran's wife) really help us carry the tune!   She sure can sing!     Congrats to Ashley!

it was a great time, weather was real nice, people great. The sponsors make it possible and Eric makes it happen.

Carrie, thx for feeding us breakfast Sat morn.

Thank you Eric and to his family, Fisherman's Warehouse, Ocean Kayak, Lowrance, Okuma and to the rest of the sponsors for making this event such a great family event turnout.  And as always great hanging out with the NCKA family.  Congrats to all the the winners and to Ash.

Here is my catch and a writeup on how my day went.

I would like to pitch in my thanks to the Hopper-clan, I didn't plan the honey-do's well enough to hang out (before or after) and meet anyone, but it is always fun fishing in a new spot!

Attaching a few amateur photos

Another great event. Unfortunately I tweaked my back and lugging a kayak around and joining my friends OTW was out of the question. The Family and I did have fun at the BBQ.

If there are any NCKA or friends of NCKA ladies out there who love the outdoors, fishing and photography, and who are are looking for mature baby daddy -- may I suggest .......   

Very brave girl. Not one whimper or tear shed. 

Adopt a Grandpa Anyone?
