HUMPY KAYAK CLASSIC (Benefit Tournament)

I'm curious to know if people caught pinks...or did it end up being a raffle?

I'm going a bit lower, 24 1/2"

Favorite Sporting Goods Store ?   
 


Big Ditto in regards to the HOW program being the big winner with people like Dino who so unselfishly put forth the efforts they do.

Awesome! congrats to all the winners and good job Dino..you are the man!

Dino thanks for putting on such a great tourney.   The fishing might have been slow, but the views of Seattle and the good friends more than made up for it.

Thanks Dino and all involved to organize this event. It is always a great day on the water with or without fish.
Interesting to see how everyone loads and hauls their yaks around too.
Although, I believe someone forgot to secure their net as it was flat and twisted on the ramp to Seattle.

See you all on the water again soon!

Dino, that's a great looking turnout and prize layout for a first time event. 
You really went to town on that one!

Hope your next one is every bit as good, if not way better! 

Sweet prize list!! Congrats to all the winners!

Sweet Pictures WindandEmotion!

Dino,  you really know how to take care of the brotherhood. 

Sorry man I saw you parked. I thought you were adjusting your kayaks. If I saw your hood up I would have stopped. Hope you got it working and home safe.

I saw you stopped, but thought I heard you say you lived really close.  Didn't think you were broke down.

Thanks guys,

Long story but ended up with a AAA tow back to Granite Falls.  Still was a great day.  I'll be hitting the snohomish once the truck is back.

Wayne...I too thought you were just fixing up the kayaks.

Enjoy the new Ride!

Hit me up when you head out to the Sno, I've been wanting to try fishing up there.
