Otobepelagic is the winner-NCKA's original virtual Holiday Tournament 2014 (III)

nice one Oto

Six days left till the winner announced.   

This was the best Holiday Tournament ever.  We had more participants making lures, and more fish entered than ever before.  December was not kind to us who wanted to get to the salt, but those that did mange to get in were rewarded.   As exhibited in the pages of this thread, NCKA is a brotherhood of like minded people who care for each other.   We had a lot of fun creating original lures and sharing stories with our members.   I thank those that made lures, caught fish with those lures, and commented on the tournament.  I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  The winner is Al--otobepelagic  with a 29 inch ling  caught on a garland and snowflake laced swim bait.  Let's all give Al a round of digital applause and whistles.  Congratulations.

Congrats to the winner & all who played!

Start thinking about a 4th July version of this!?!?!  I'm in to make a custom prize for the winner.
