When we announced this event two weeks ago, I wasn't sure how many would be able to attend on such short notice, but it's obvious you guys KNOW A GOOD DEAL WHEN YOU SEE IT! :LOL:

Donna, Brennan & I arrived early to make sure we got everyone checked in so they could take advantage of the exclusive TEAM 57 special "early entry" that was part of TEAM 57 "Appreciation Day" at Santa Ana River Lakes.....

While everyone was getting checked in...... Eddie walked up with a customized pumpkin that had the TEAM 57 LOGO ON IT! COOL! :EyePop:

THANK YOU Eddie......, what an awesome surprise!........ you guys need to check out his "21st Century Pumpkins" at "Pa's Pumpkin Patch" located at PCH & Studebaker Rd. ...... or give him a call at 562-541-0409. THANK YOU SIR!

We didnt get a whole lot of time to take pics before the sun went down......... but there were Team 57 members parked everywhere!

The Conejo Kid was hooking up early & often!

Since SARL was doing most all of the cooking.... I had a moment to sit and have a cold one with, Sansou and his daughter (she had a cold soft drink :LOL: )........ Wingnut, Bullets and Maverick.......

Team 57 Legend "DoctorHook" showed up and immediatly started manning the grill!.... Thanks Art!........ Art cooked up some delicious yellowtail that had been brought by Sansou!

http://fishinghotpage.com/users/tmp3/SARL036.jpg

Thanks to "Mike" from Santa Ana River Lakes for working the grill most all of the night! I appreciate your hard work Mike!......

A BIG THANK YOU to the folks at SARL for adding in all the condiments, potato salad & macaroni salad and all the other extras! Totally unexpected!

While Donna & I were getting the "Conejo Kid" some grub..... my cell rings, and its THE KID!........... "DANA, I JUST CAUGHT ONE" !!!!!!!! AWESOME!

http://fishinghotpage.com/users/tmp3/SARL038.jpg

Needless to say........ the kid had a great night until lack of sleep forced him to "retire" early.. but still a good night of fishing!

Sensing a "star" being born....... Wingnut & I asked the Conejo Kid for a photo op and he agreed!

http://fishinghotpage.com/users/tmp3/SARL040.jpg

Then James from Fusion drops by and sees the Conejo Kid....... having never had a real opportunity to have a photo with him..... he also asks "The Kid" for a photo op and the kid agrees! LOL! :LOL:

http://fishinghotpage.com/users/tmp3/SARL041.jpg

The "Kid" get a few pointers from............. the "Reel Deal".........

http://fishinghotpage.com/users/tmp3/SARL045.jpg

I tried sneaking up on these two to get a few pointers.......... but the kid caught me....

Even my girl Donna scored a cat! She never gets to fish as much as she'd like!

http://fishinghotpage.com/users/tmp3/SARL048.jpg

All in all it was a great night............

Thanks to Pontoon & Trolly for some great advice.........

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE that came out and supported TEAM 57.......

I REALLY ENJOYED MEETING ALL THE NEW MEMBERS AND HOPE YOU WILL ALL COME OUT AGAIN TO THE NEXT TEAM 57 EVENT!

Thanks Keith, it was nice seeing the SCCA out there as well!

We gave out about 30 FREE Team 57 t-shirts! (a few more than I had promised)....... had some great food and spent time with "family & friends"....... a perfect night!

I think most everyone had fish and I KNOW they certainly had a good time and got a great deal!.. we'll be doing it again soon!

Thank you Dana for setting up this event! By far my best fishing experience at SARL and a night I will remember for a very long time. Hopefully there's another event like this during trout season... Awesome job on those tilapia conejo kid! I couldn't hook those things for the life of me!

Great recap and pics Fish57. Thanks for putting these events together.

Thanks also SARL for the great spread, and to "Mike" who always goes the extra mile for us. Special thanks from me to Dr. Hook for immediately volunteering to cook the batch of yellowtail I brought.....I have no problem bringing fish, it's just that I hate BBQing. I tend to burn stuff anyways.

It was a pleasure meeting FNNers I've yet to meet....the SCCA family (crazy catfish stories! wow!), Maverick, Man to Wild (sp?), and some brand new members that signed up just that night for the event. If I missed any names, I'm sorry!

My daughter had a great time playing with Troutdog's daughter, and asked me on the way home when we get to go to camping again at the next "party"! It makes me happy she really enjoyed herself.

Dana thanks for setting up another great event at Sarl, always a blast when Team57 takes over Chris's pond. The bbq that was set up for us was a great, top it off by Doctorhook grilling up the yt Sansou brought and we had quite the spread!

Great to see the Conejo Kid riding the streak from Zuma to Sarl, the kid is ON FIRE!!!!

Hope to see you at another event soon!

There's a young rising star by the name of Conejo,
Donna and Dana knew his future was bright from the get go,
Brennan slays more fish than the Kid named Cisco,
Exacting more revenge than the Count of Monte Cristo,
Setting the hook from San Diego to San Francisco,
Slaying both the Tilapia and the Kittie,
At Santa Ana River Lakes,
A Slice of Country in the City,
Cheers for Brennan the upcoming fishing star,
He's the subject of this Ditty:Cool:

Keep up the good work,

Eric
