Thanks . . IT IS NOT warm enough at the lab for the average person to tube without waders. NPH is another story like bathwater where we were fishing at.

[Swank909]

I catch the fish, you hold them, that was the arrangement :P

[DockRat]

Cool, Bathwater, LOL
That's a big Spottie.
How long was the Halibut ?

[bones]

Very nice report!
Great job you guys and congrats on the first place.The halibut is a great bonus. I kinda miss the LAB and doing the naples loop on the high tide.Too damn lazy to drag out my tubin gear until summer when you can travel light.

Brandon!!

I told ya you had nuthin' to worry about!!:Twisted:

1st place, just like I told ya!!:LOL:

Good job man!.... you too Dan!

With all of those pig Spotties I've witnessed you catching recently, there was no doubt in my mind.:LOL:

[klocked]

BTW, how big was the "big fish"?

[Wingnut]

Congrats boyz, job well done! :Thumbs Up:

[Swank909]

BTW, how big was the "big fish"?

Big fish for the tourney went 2.12 i think

My big fish were 2.2 and 1.7 Brandon scored the clutch fish 5 mins before we had to leave for the weigh in, 1.11 which put us above 2nd place by 1oz!

I caught the first fish 5 mins into the tournament, a Smooth Hound shark the length of my arm (first and personal best lol). He managed to tangle the braid around the second to last guide on the rod and snapped the rod. Fished the entire tourney with a broken rod.

Another omg moment was when we had a 1.7 spottie jump off the scale! Lost him for good since we didnt get a chance to record him :(

Later in the day I hooked up into a solid 3lb spottie, was a pig, it managed to tangle its self around a piling, we devoted a solid 30 minutes to trying to break the fish free, we rock paper scissored on who was going for a swim but no one man'd up lol

Brandon also had 2-3 hogs break him off on his new P-line flouroclear stuff, time for a new line buddy :P

We had a good time out on the water, Brandon its always a blast fishing with you man. Here's to another great tournament my friend!

Sitting in business law right now, just playing on my phone to pass the time. I should make a report of my recent kayak trips. I've Hit up NPH, the CDM kelp beds and the MDR breakwall over the last couple weeks, I plan on hitting up La Jolla soon (hopefully).

[Phanatic]

Excellent job guys! You very well deserved it. Give me one more week of school and we can hit up local inshore waters.
