HMB derby

Just a thought

  Is 72 participants a record for a Northen California KayakFishing Tournament?

  Is 72 participants a record for a Northen California KayakFishing Tournament?

Yep, unless there was some sort of large underground "Northern California Kayak Fishing" derby that no one talks about.  I just checked for a www.nckf.org and it's the "Nothern California Kendo Federation".

Kendo is very kool....

   

72 is definitely a record...great turn-out!

Awesome pics. We went out in really foggy  conditions. I wouldn't have gone on my own but felt pretty comfortable going out with the group. Fishing was rough.  Got some bites on my swimbait but nothing stuck. Next time I need to add a stinger  hook at the end. The chartplotter worked wonders in my fishfinder and  I knew at all  times were I was during the derby.

Congrats to all who won the prizes.

A pic of Tin "VWtech" after winning the MacSki, the Bob Franko rod, and a Scotty Rod Holder.  He's one seriously lucky dude.  At the last Mendo Bendo Raffle he won a nice AT carbon paddle and a Hobie cooler/tacklebox.  But then again.... he usually buys about $40 in tickets per raffle.  A good investment for sure!!!

The other pic is of Angel "Pacifico" (with his namesake inhand) winning the Hibernet stowable landing net with the spare paddle attachment.

Congrats you lucky dogs!!!

Thanks to Bill and Chuckfor organizing such a great event.  Thanks to all the sponsors (and to the folks who arranged for the prizes).  I haven't fished one of these events for a while, so it was great to see everyone.  Congrats to all the winners!

It sure seems like the experienced fisherman are taking these tourneys pretty seriously these days.  I think the "rookie luck" (curse?) days may be numbered.  Just a hunch.

CONGRATS! Duane, Allen, Dave  and all those at HMB this past weekend. I've really enjoyed reading all the threads and checking out the photos. Wish I could have been there. I was planning to attend right up until Saturday. Unfortunately I think someone put the mojo on me and gave my luck to Duane. I'm sure the results would have been different if I were able to have made it. Don't count me out though. I will be haunting another NCKA event soon. By the way, I am the dreaded "ROOKIE"

Congrats to Bill and Chucke for putting on another great event. The turn out was awesome. Big congrats to Duane for winning. I couldn't be happier for anyone more than him for winning. Especially after all the times he has provided bait for everybody. Nice job Duane...

Dude!  Yer famous!

Sweet!   Now... we just need to teach Duane to do the fishsniffer pose so we see his fish a little better.
Props from Coastside is good thing for sure.  Thanks to Chris CPkayak for being our connection.

They could of mentioned his MasterBaitMakin handle.   I wish I would have been walkin through the background during this shot,  DAM IT!!
   
GET YOUR FAME ON!

72 is definitely a record...great turn-out!

If those 72 people joining again for next years derby?....for sure is going to break the record because I will be joining them.. ...
