That would be great if you have the room.

Had a F'n good time ,Anthony and all that helped put it together. Looking forward to the next one I can attend.

Anthony, thanks for organizing. Karen and I had a great time. Couldn't get my vets on fish so ended up frying fish. LOL.

A few more hungry fish in the bay would have really put the cherry on top of a pretty awesome day. The Volunteer turn out was fantastic and in that type of water with all that is going on out there it's just so crucial to have a big solid crew show up ready to rock. One Vet got one little one to take home and we had a few coho that had to go back.

Thanks to Mojo and his crew for donating some delicious sausages and drinks, and giving the guy a ride that broke down. Thanks to the nice ladies and GreatBass for all the galley help. And thanks to everyone that loaned gear* to fill in the gaps.

We'll try and have better timing next year in NB. Thank you so much to all the Volunteers that have turned out for HOW this year. The Oregon Chapter is having a really great year and growing and without volunteer support it would not be possible.

* Found items after everyone left: Hobie cart, Hobie Paddle, blue Ozark Trail folding chairs

Pic to prove you were in fact up to your elbows in POTW and peanut oil. :-)

I think the blue chair is mine.   It has one ripped arm rest support strap.    I'm more than happy to donate to HOW if you want it.

Well who does the cart belong to? Who had to drag their kayak into the garage?

Great event! Thanks Anthony and all who contributed. It was fun to be a part and I will be up for another when it rolls around.

It was awesome having the "one armed bandit" directing traffic and keeping us in line. Thanks for coming out Steve!

Much thanks for all involved - especially Anthony, Noah, and Steve for all of the work you guys do putting these events together.  Also appreciate the crew that put together lunch - some great food was served up.  Though we could have used a bit more catching, the fishing was great!  Saw many smiles, and heard great comments from all of our vets and their friends and families.
