Welcome, Lesley!

You had the greatest win celebration of any prize winner I've ever seen at one of our get-togethers. It was a joy to witness. 

I second that.  Lesley, your reaction and happiness in winning the kayak was awesome.

This was my first club event.  I caught no perch, got wet and cold and met some great people.  It's very evident that, as Rockfish told me, NorCal is like a giant family.  Looking forward to more events.

Nice report everybody.  Well done Victor and all who contributed/attended this event.  Again I missed this event due to rotator cuff surgery.  Great photos....made me feel as if I was there.  Thanks for the posts.

Thanks Narisa, Vic and all the Sponsors I had to leave way too early, looking at the pics I missed a lot. Just wondering who made these little flavor BOMBS would love to make for a little WAF.

Yes, those macaroons ARE the bomb. I received my own personal stash courtesy of Jingle, aka Mrs. Butete.

Thanks Jingle!

Congratulations Les.  Let you fishing education begin.

Les, the first thing you have to learn is you're Kastman's replacement in the camp kitchen.  Hint:  Get up early to start the coffee.  We all, well maybe not your brother-in-law, like our morning coffee.

It was way cool to see my friend, Leslie win that yak!
Her emotions and tears of joy were priceless!

Thanks for those pics Hojo!

Thanks for taking all those great pictures Hojo. Thanks Victor and family for all of your hard work putting on such an awesome event. Thanks to Dan and Headwaters for donating the new kayak and for the other sponsors as well. We had so much fun fishing and hanging out with our NCKA family. I can't wait for next year. See you all again soon.

Thanks again and here are some photos of Nemo5 in action.  That is the name of the raffle kayak.
I took Les out on Sunday to Bodega Bay and she paddled all around the entire bay.  She had a great time saw lots of rays, seals,crab and good amount of water fowl.  She is hooked.

  Does that mean you are going to teach her how to fish?

If I teach her how to fish, you won't ever have to worry about her out fishing you.  Was that your plan?
