I have to work tomorrow morning now:(

I will be down later in the day with family in tow.

NCKA member wins it again , his second year running...Man has skills..pics later...great meeting everyone...too tired to load all my pics but there are many pics on my cameras waiting to upload....
great fishing with Nor cal ...I went out in water I had never fished...without any idea what I'd find...saw swells..paddled more towards the big swell o.t.w and watched for any bumps on my FF....6 lings ---3 in 3 drops at first....was practicing my acceptance speech...while I waited for the monster ling to jump in my boat ....not to be 

but catching lings in unknown waters with NCKA's all around catching some too...priceless

Falcon swooped down to take fish as we left san simion cove around sunrise...unreal day....super duper wind and swell...got pretty scary .....

Congrats Riccy C    .....very cool guy and excellent fisherman....!!!!!!!top notch stuff there man

few pics...shitty camera..

Great Tournament Yesterday. I lost the side RF bet by 1 inch...argh! oh well, nice to see the NCKA crew out representing. 2-pet by rikki. Wow!

I can't upload my photos for whatever reason. I'll try and get the format right, but congrats to rikki for his win again.

Some of my photos

pic 5 is a 6-800 rod reel combo and a 8+00.00 dollar stack of cash...biggest ling

few pics...shitty camera..

Too bad you shitty pole didn't work as good as your camera. None the less great pics. And showing me how to troll big Hammers. I'm going to spend the year finding Ricci's holes.

the sheltered cove off to the side of the leffinwell launch cove...and  below the cleaning station was full of big lings and reds and seagulls...

Congrats Ricci!!!

RICCI!!!!!
Congratulations bro.
Fricken awesome!!!

few more of the trip down and the change in coast from  Monterey end of Big Sur to the flatter more exposed light blue waters of San Simion...Elephant seals all along the shores above the derby area....hmmmm...what does that mean?

Elephant seals line the shore, south in the early afternoon...the difference in the two launch beaches the day before the derby...me and seaweed as we drag out @ San Simion early...sunrise on the coast

last pic was me finding Ghost down at the calm end of the cove and following suit...dead ray laying in the surf...any butts ..in the shallows...dragged a swimbait along the bottom to see

last ones...so hard to get picture of large swell that even comes close to showing how knarly it was...but this wall of water shows it a bit

seaweed and me trolling in 90 f.o.w and getting tossed around nicely.....all done with my pics ..
Thanks to the great group down there who put on htis excellent event great meeting everyone...see you next year

congrats Ricci....well done!!!!

Right-on Ricci - congrats!
