Great recap of your first NCKA experience.  Way to go fishing in those conditions and slaying some beautiful fish too!  :smt003

Hey Brah, I think you came by our camp, but I didn't get a chance to introduce myself. I'm sure we will get that chance in the future.  NCKA events can be intimidating, but oh the rewards and spoils for those that do brave the madness.  Glad you had a good time!  :smt006

Nice write up. I had pretty much the same experience except that I didn't hear my alarm clock and only woke up at 6 :-)
