Gentleman, What a great day! I met so many cool guys and had a great day of fishing and that's what it's all about!!! One lesson for next year.... bring a set of dry clothes. I know from firsthand experience how much work goes into a day like this and you guys pulled it off with flying colors! Being a newbie and being terrible with names besides, I regret I can't thank everyone by name, hopefully by next year, it'll be like were all best friends. Again, thank you for having such a fun event and allowing me to join in. Semper Fi! Jim

Props to everyone, especially Neil for putting together this great event. Big Props to our chefs. Didn't get to introduce myself as you guys were hustlin' but I have to say that was the best fish fry I've tasted. I'll bring the tartar and malt vinegar next time. Seriously great job!

Sorry I missed the after party. My crew was worn out; I was on my way there then had to turn around to take care of some family unplanned stuff.

Conditions were not great, but manageable. Fishing was tough for us - we caught a bunch of rockfish, but just couldn't seem to connect with any biggens. 2ish # was the biggest we could manage. 5 short lingcod (ugh...), and we could not connect with any goats or ocf... We were surprised we ended up in the money.

Thanks Neil and everyone else involved in making this tourney a success.
Team Sewer - class act!

Congrats George and all other winners!

Big thanks to all who participated and helped this tournament for a great cause!!

So more importantly since this was a benefit event, HOW much was raised for HOW between the shirt sales and the event?

Even Jorge has a PA? I still haven't figured out how to get one on top of my van by myself yet. My workouts are helping, but I still don't think I am ready to lift one of those by myself.
