Trying my hand at the NPH Lily Call Tournament

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDREW]

Greetings fellow fishermen!

This past weekend, the Balboa Angling Club hosted the Lily Call tournament, which is a light-line fishing tournament in Newport Harbor. Now I've never fished a tournament before, but it sounded fun and I was planning on fishing that weekend anyway so I decided to try my luck. I caught a lot of fish, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any qualifying fish. However, I felt that I did pretty well for not having a boat! I caught all of my bass on a sparkly Zoom fluke super junior.

6x Spotted Bay Bass - largest was 13 inches
3x Kelp bass - largest was 10 inches

Here's the album

Side note: On Sunday, the dock I was at got super crowded (about 9 lines in the water), so I barely had room to cast. My competitive side was satisfied knowing that I out-fished all of those guys combined :)

Great catch Andrew but try not handle the fish with a cloth because you remove there protective slime & this could be detrimental to any fish.

Gotcha. I only held them by the mouth, but ill keep an eye out for some gloves or something.

Nice batch of fish! A little competition always slices it up a bit. Keep it up!
