Party Crashing the SandCrab Classic

As professionals on the perch tournament circuit, the perch slaying duo of Angle and master chef Omar needed a photog to chase them around the beach recording the carnage.....I invited myself along to fill that role.

With a morning low tide, stained water and high surf the prospects were looking pretty grim.....for everybody else, but the perch pounders were optinistic, these conditions separate the men from the perch punks. 

They got in and chucked away, hucking heavily scented grubs.





After a few hours of the slow wind and grind Angle and i lost focus.  As we're bs'ing on the sidelines Omar hooked a decent perch reeled it in, all the way up to the rod tip, and hoisted it 8' in the air and walked out of the surf victorious.



The MORF, getting it done.....bait is for rooks.



Shortly after, I got one in on the sandworm.  It was small, something I'd normally refer to as bait, but in this day it fended off the skunk. I'll take it.




Considering the conditions, we figured omar might be in the running.....till we got to the weighin and he came up shy of placing by a few ounces.  Didn't matter, he got it done on plastics while everyone else (juniors and adults) was soaking bait.

At the raffle, Omar commented that they should have solicited a spa cause he needed a massage.  Angle asked if he was sore, Omar replied that his back was hurting.  Angle asked what happened to his back and his response was an instant classic...."Its sore cause I've been carrying the weight of this team all day."   Samartass....


Bushy throws a hell of a party.....till next year.

wtg, Omar! Are you taller than pops yet?

That fisheye lens seems to add about 20 lbs 

It was a good day...hanging with Art is always an interesting and "eye opening" experience.  But watching Omar walk out of the pounding surf with the fish hoisted high above his head like that was awesome.  The looks we got at Starbucks when we walked in wearing smelly, sandy, waders was also a highlight.

Bushy and his crew sure know how to put on one hell of a show. Weigh-in was smooth as butta, Bushy was at front door checking people in, the MC was getting stuff done all while entertaining the crowd and including the youngsters...that's one well oiled machine.  I'm glad we didn't flake afterall
