This was a great event!!! There were about 40 boats and 40 kayaks. The banquet was at the SD Marlin Club. The fish fry afterwards was really good. Not that I would know because I didn't eat any. The raffle prizes and bags were amazing. I couldn't believe how much quality stuff they gave away. The tournament shirts are cool and they had long sleeve white UV resistant shirts for sale for cheap. Well run event and a great cause. Will definitely try to do it again next year.

I won the biggest Boccaccio Jackpot. I missed winning the biggest fish (Red) by .1! We got second on that and second in the Ling Jackpot.

Day started off dicey. We left early Saturday morning in mostly dark. It was raining and strong east wind. The channel was sketchy bad! It was so bad 1/4 of the mile out I turned us around to come back in because we were never going to make it to our spot. We waited it out for daylight and the wind died down so we gave it another try. This time around much different heading out. Was rough and one of our crew got sick pretty much right when we stopped on the first spot and was sick the whole time. But he was a trooper and stuck it out. Although, we did leave about an hour earlier than I wanted too.
