Rockfish Derby 2014 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Neill, you did an amazing job with everything. Much props.
To Tony, Roby, Jorge, and the rest of the chefs, A+ gents. Some tasty chow!
A little bit of a rough day on the water to say the least, but still had a riot of a time. Won one jackpot, was .10 pounds away from winning another. 5.1 vs 5.2.
Managed to pull in a 6.7 ling that I thought would have made the grade, but got beaten by a horse of a ling at 11.3.
Thanks to Aztec for the tasty brew, JeffB for his time and craftsmanship, M&M for the custom rod, and to all the other vendors that gifted what they did to make this an amazing event.
A damn fine way to spend a Saturday!

What a cool event! Good to finally meet some of you guys and Tony the fish fry was amazing, some of the best fried fish i have had. I was one of the lucky ones, made it out no problem and according to Tony and his gopro i had boring but perfect landing on Jackson Cuda 14. The Jackson tracks really well in the surf. Ended up with 4 reds and a small cabby but overall a great day on the water. Looking forward to next years event! Thanks again to Drake

Yeah hangn out at the beach all day was fun. Watchn guys come in some safely some not so much....As some of you heard i caught captain america on video as well as a couple of wipeouts, not as much as i wanted to but i got the main one...jorge in his new PA!

Yeah team sewer stepped up, we did what we could, but so did Mrpatrick and erinoo and John from the marlin club. Without their help it would have been alot tougher on us. Glad you guys were there to help the helpers.

Big time in her rolling litter box that she calls a car.
I wore my GoPro on my head for a POV video that came out like you were actually there minus the 9lives stench. In one part it kinda looks like I'm eating a pissed off Main Coon who has been out in the rain for a few weeks. I'll send you a copy.
