Congrats 2018 Junior Diver and Angler Of The Year!!

This post is to acknowledge both my sons Noah AKA Silent Hunter and Lucas AKA Baja Ninja on winning 2018 JDOTY & JAOTY respectively.

We had a lot of fun fishing and diving together in 2018. We learned a lot as we targeted different species throughout the year.  We had a handful of skunk days but we never gave up hope when a particular species was elusive.  When we finally harvested a particularly evasive species we celebrated like we won the Super Bowl.  :occasion18:

Here are just some of the fish that were taken along with some other fond memories with my boys in 2018.

Thanks for being such great kids and for letting me come along for the ride.  :smt007

Love you guys  :smt008

That banana fish was HUGE! Dang... are they hard to fillet? =P

great job Noah and Lucas. Fast forward 10 years and they will be holding trophies thanking their sponsors!
