GS13 - It's a wrap - Reports start on page 27

Eric,

I'll be there Thursday to Sunday. Fishing Trinidad and HBO on my way home. I have some experimental pac butt and salmon lures I have been working on as well as a new harpoon design. Harpoons are legal, right? Looking forward to catching up with some old friends. Pot is legal too, right?    So many changes since I left Cali. LOL If anyone wants another team-mate, let me know. I promise I won't fall in and need to be rescued.

Scott

YESSSSS!!!! Am and I would be honored to team up and chase pac butt with you. I promise she wont be as sea sick this time 

Thanks Isao, let's do it!!! Scott

Thanks Jimbo. Your boys are probably in High School now. Look forward to catching up. Scott

I'll be signing up again this year, this will be my 7th GS. That's good luck right?

After weeks of corresponding and feeling all run-around over trying to make a t-shirt out of a photo (my avatar here), I finally had a breakthrough when I hooked up with an old friend who knows his way around Illustrator and Photoshop.  We worked together for a bit at his studio, then he worked more last night, and today we finalized what will be the art for GS13!  I'm so relieved to get it done - what a challenge!

All of the tournament shirts over the years have had the common themes of the "yakker image" silhouette and basic one color print.  This year I wanted to put a little more in to it, and I'm happy with how the final product turned out.

The picture below was the closest I could find to the original picture from 2007 where I captured a shot of my guest, Art, a mile off the Cape in October.  The ocean's surface, the mist and the hillside contrasted with the kayak and Art's "I just hooked a nice ling" body position combined for a memorable image, but "digitizing" or "vectorizing" the image couldn't yield good results unless an expert worked on the color separations.  Now I know...

Registration closes in a few weeks, so please put a stamp on it! 

Very cool logo, Eric!!!

Looks wonderful! 

Thanks for working that through, it looks good! Also, thanks for continuing to produce this great event.

Going to look great on the extra long sleeve I am going to order.

Gorgeous artwork, E!

The fam and I are still trying to work GS into our schedule.
