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

Wow!  Beautiful work.  Go get 'em.

Impressive !, looks like a salt water fly on steroids 

Amos.  That is probably the most involved holiday lure we have reviewed.  Your use of all the different materials really shows us how disturbed, I mean, creative you are.  
It reminds me of the tutus worn  by Sugar Plum Fairies.  I'm sure if the swells cooperate you will have a great chance to catch the winning holiday fish.  Nice job. 

I did hear of a random act of kindness done by our brother otobepelagic.  While shopping, he assisted an elderly shopper load her bags into her car.  Those are the unnoticed acts that make this season special.  Let me know if you have helped someone this season. 

wow that looks like a good entry Amos

Damn Amos, I think you need to bring that thing for Rockfish Wars !!!!!

Two more great looking lures were made for the Holiday Tournament.  Hey Steve, does your dog or cat have a bald spot now that you completed your jig.  That is a great looking lure.  Kiel, your jingle bait should nail something in the salt.  We are all waiting for mother nature to calm down.   Don't forget that the fish entered, doesn't have be caught in salt water.  Fresh water is also allowed.  (trout farm, pond, river, lake)  It just has to be caught on your own holiday lure. 

I took these out yesterday for my skunk day..made em right at the wharf as we launched with tie wire and ribbons with elf suits  one big hammer xmas and one Branson Baits X-mas lure...now to see if the water clears up some by thursday...I got a big Ling waiting to open it's present , I just know it   

I even took Raydon's advice and gave out some Christmas gifts - Branson baits to my fishing buddy's..rigged with their new heads...act of kindness dont fail me now!!!

next thur-fri-sat-sun and it's done for me..

wonder if any fish were brought up this weekend ??
