Go Z!!

That lil story by Lucian Gizel was pretty interesting too.

Excellent write up Z, it got my heart racing a bit, but no mention of NWKA anywhere.  Where's the love? 

Thanks guys. I actually asked for that info to be put in but I guess the editor pulled it. I may have a regular gig w/ them and if so the info will be in there for sure.

Wali, weren't you on that trip that Lucian wrote up?  Again where's the love?  Lucian did however seem to get an NWKA plug in at the bottom.

Come to think of it, if it didn't say "By Lucian Gizel " I would have sworn that was written by you Wali.  Or did Allen manage to send two of you on that trip... just read the first paragraph and a half.

My friends, I have got to be one of the luckiest people I know (and that tends to fall on both sides of the coin )  But once again, I've found myself in the right place at the right time. Allen "polepole" Sensano, the guy who caught Jaws in his kayak (huge salmon shark) and cover boy of "Fish Alaska" magazine, had planned a trip to the Queen Charlotte islands (30 miles south of AK) for over a year to catch HUGE (100lbs+) halibut from the yak.  At the last minute real life imposed itself and his day job really needed him.

This was a bigwater trip and the plan required a group of 5 anglers (one in a zodiac, and two pairs of yak fishermen to watch each others backs). He could not leave them light an angler. To make a long story longer, he negotiated repayment for the the lost trip and a replacement kayak angler with big water experience. In other words, Me (that and the fact that I had exactly that time available with 1.5 week's notice) Allen, my friend, I REALLY owe you one.

It's also weird how Lucian refers to himself like he just met himself..

Lucian (Lucian) howled "Fish-On"!

I think I'm going to start writing in the FFTW-POV format also.

It's like Jimmy on Seinfeld. 



NWKA love is in the article!

Hey Z,

Congradulations on the win and getting published.  Well done!

Seriously though.. Wali did you write that article that is credited to Lucian?

Yep.


In fact, when you click on the NWKA link, it takes you directly to my post.
I sent them a note and mentioned that they must have had a bit of trouble with the spelling of the author's name. I realize that W A L T E R   G O M E S  is kinda close to Lucian,,,
 Ahh, no.

Actually, Lucian sent me a PM and said he'd submitted it with my name and that he'd sent them a reminder to correct it. I'm sure they'll get around to changing it eventually.

Well done Z.

I didn't even know this magazine existed. Time for me to read the archives.

Good Stuff Guys!  Glad to see NWKA members getting published!

Do they accept un-solicited submissions?
 

You got something you want to submit Mark?  I can make an intro to the publisher if you want ...

Great story Z! Congrats on the big win and making the headlines.

I have a couple of ideas running around.  I think I'll read some of the back issues to see if and where they'd fit.  I'll let you know when I have something print worthy.

Thanks!
