Hope no one minds me putting a bunch of pictures here...

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this happen and who showed up to enjoy the time together. Too many names to remember or list but it was awesome of Erik and Dana and their significant others to step up and see this through, and Anthony, of course Roy and Dudi, Paul I think was involved, and everyone else I'm forgetting.

We had a great trip overall and it was so wonderful to have such nice conditions on game day. I felt great in the morning and got off to a good start but unfortunately by about noon I wasn't feeling so good anymore; I figured it was a side-effect of the sea sickness meds but it turns out I was actually sick - still not felling 100% today.

My favorite memory from fishing was the big copper rockfish I caught, with a close second being the close encounter(s) with whales - I've had plenty before but none this close to my boat before. After getting a greenling and rockfish in the first 30 minutes I worked hard for a lingcod, and then ground for over 2 hours on perch without a single bite.

Oh yeah, and CONGRATS to Casey for being the only one to bring in 4 species! I knew when I saw that look on your face back on shore we were in for trouble 

Looking forward to next year already!

Unless I missed it in another post, can someone post the final results?

I was told that I got 6th place, which means my trend of getting 6th place every odd-numbered year continues - streak unbroken!

Yes. You were in 6th Lauren.

Sorry for the delay folks... Ill get a standings list posted tonight. Dang work is getting in the way again! 

Lauren and all the rest that was there, lets not forget this picture of early morning
