Official NWKA Alaska YAK Classic Weigh in Final Results and a few pics

If you're talking about me, Rudy, my little chicken wasn't prize worthy. I'm just stoked that we had a good turnout, and a safe day on the water with a few good fish caught.

Taylor went to eat so he's not gotten anything if he got something.

Good job guys Rudy did you tell some one that they won a harpoon from me let me know who gets it.

Wow...What a great time and great turn out!  A few years back, I was lucky to see 3 or 4 people Kayak fishing all YEAR!!!

Thanks to everyone for showing up.  Weather was marginal in the mid morning, but then settled back down.  No monsters but a bunch of solid fish.  For most of the day, just landing a fish was worth something 5 pounds or 50 pounds.

Congrats to FishonJohn (John Goulet) for the win!  Took the extra effort to Anchor and got the job done.  Must have been a struggle as his solid wooden handled harpoon was splintered up pretty well. 

Here are a few of the photos.  I have more that I just dumped from DSLR at: https://picasaweb.google.com/110896815686143282688/6297779398877253697?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJH0xqXj_feNMA&feat=directlink
