Oyster Point, on a borrowed Drifter, with a couple old PFIC guys, and a Mooch.

Can't remember who snapped the pic, but I'm glad they did.

This was a regular 'ol hook up shortly before the OysterPoint tourney.  I had my P13 by the time the tourney rolled around.  Shit, I think I got my P13 within a week of this picture being taken. 

I was hooked lol

Nice fish that's a great first from the yak!

My first fish from the kayak was this beautiful bow from blue lakes in 2012. You can tell I'm a kook by the guides on my rod lol :smt044

this is the first OTW picture I could find July 7 2003.  A passing powerboat took the shot. I had just won that Caper in the Kayak Connection contest and took my neighbor's brother in law out.  He caught a 30#+ flattie.  Thing scared me!
