Elk Tourney Report 8/12/06

...and speaking of Bully....Dan / Mahi Mahi had his buddy swing by for the festivities....a nine-foot Sheriff This humungus fella made Chris / cpyak, Ryan da Walrus, EK and Sean look like little league    I was so afraid of this dude, I couldn't even maintain eye contact...talk about the intimidation factor  I felt like apologizing every time I walked in front of him 

Dan later re-assured me that he was a giant teddy bear  Yup....that's exactly what I thought when I first met Chris / cpyak....now known as the Bully 

LOL      That guy was one BIG dude! 

Definitely has the upper hand when it comes to handling the perps.

yep.....I don't even know why he still needs to carry a gun   

that sheriff would definitely need an x-factor.

as for the fried fish, I WAS REALLY HUNGRY

I just want to chime in and say thanks to Sean and his family for making that a great event. I had a great time, the food and drink was awsome. I arrived at about 0520 from Ukiah and met up with Mahi Mahi (Dan), and Kickin Bass (Andy). Mahi Mahi got suited up and headed out. I kept one fish, the copper in Sean's pictures 5.4 lbs. I caught a few other smaller fish and released them to figh next year.
Meeting everyone was great and I will see you all in my back yard, I mean, at the bendo @ mendo
Trust Dan on that..A BIG TEDDY BEAR  
Thanks again Sean..

Trust Dan on that..A BIG TEDDY BEAR

More like a HUGe teddy bear...I shook that guys hand and it was like me holding hands with Elsie, his mitts were frickin massive!  I'm sure he's nice, but I'm also sure he could open a can on bad guy!!!

No ninnernet at the house makes these thanks a little late, though no less sincere.

Thanks to Sean and the White clan for making this happen (and for my cart!).  It was great to meet you.

Thanks to JTF for drivin', c'mon.

Thanks to all the culinary wizards for filling my belly at the potluck (chef, the ceviche was outrageous!)

Lastly, thanks to all who attended.  I am gratefull to have been given the chance to share this occasion with you all.


And congratulations to all the winners! 

Great Job to all who made this event and to those who participated,

AS for myself, it went kinda like this:   

Had a GREAT TIME!.....DANGLIN

I am still recovering from the good times! Sorry for lagging in posting, I have not yet be able to track down my camera and work is a major PITA this week.

Thanks to the White clan for all the work they did in putting this together. Thanks to Sean for hooking up my fishfinder on my Marauder (review coming soon) and for bringing my cart along, that saved me big time. Erik for rocking the raffle as usual!

The food is just silly, Chef is a master, Chuck as always rocks the fryer and zilla was a machine with the camp wok!! I even ate bait that tasted good!

Pics to come once I get settled.

I also want to thank everyone that participated, all you guys and gals rock!

Oh Yeah!

And it should not go unmentioned that in addition to boating the biggest fish, Erik provided us with some truly exceptional Sturgeon candy

Thanks for sharing, Erik.
