Elk - August 4, 2007

One of the best parts of the trip was Mooch paying one of the Force 10 girls $20 to haul his kayak up the hill! 

CLASSIC!!

You guys and gals know how to roll! I've been to dozens of kayak fishing events, none more fun than this one.

Thanks for the warm hospitality. I enjoyed meeting the NorCal crew. You've got more characters per capita! And man do you grub well.

Sign me up again for next year.

Some random pics:

adam, those are some great pic, thanks a bunch for posting them for folks that were unable to go (and probably for those that were!)

PAL, thanks for taking that pic and it was good meeting you also.

What can I say that everyone else hasn't..nothing but another great time/reunion(for me.. as I need to get out more often).  Major Props to Sean, Elk's community center and everyone else who made this happen. Can't wait till next year!

thanks for the show everyone. a toast for you all

Like they said........and no better venue to get to discover more about the amazing people that comprise this group of insane fisherfolks and cooks who are better than folks with TV cooking shows.  Talking went better for me than fishing........lings caught all around me but they stood me up...........
But, I did score the next generation hoodie.......life is good!

Thank you so so so much for White's pull this great event again & Thank Erik to work hard on the raffle (even I didn't win anything...)!  Thanks Bill to keep us yakers together too!
Also thank you so much everybody to showed up w/ great food!!!  I couldn't sleep well there because I ate so much...
It was great seeing everybody again!
I just had such a great time, so only I can say is "Thank you!"

Here is few more Elk pics to add...

I was following previous Champ...pic

Yanno...

We might have to tone it down a little folks.  This tourney just might be more fun than the law allows. 

Major kudos to the Great Whites, Bill, Erik, and everyone else who sponsored and/or participated.

I still can't believe my good fortune in walking away from the raffle with Erik's custom rod.  It's a magnificent piece of workmanship.  Can't wait to kill something with it.   

I managed a 9lb 13oz ling, but with the caliber of anglers participating, it was only good for something like 9th place.  Congratulations to JTF, Don and Tom for bringing home the BIG fish.

No wonder this is the premier fishing event of the year.
