Those are some pretty funny pictures of less than smooth landings! Since so many are good sports, I'll tell you how my day went. First, I fished for bass and caught only one calico. About 16 inches. I caught 1 rockfish and also my first legal ling cod. But he was exactly 24", so I turned him loose. Now for my smooth landing: I could see that the surf was bigger than usual, so I stowed my gear and waited for some of the bigger swells to pass. I decided it was best to make a mad dash with my pedals and get out in shallow water but still deep enough so my flippers don't bottom out. No problem, I've done this many times. So I get through the zone OK and think I am in the right depth because people all around me are standing knee to thigh deep. So I jump out... right into a depression and I'm up to my neck in water. Oh, did I mention that I was wearing waders? (Yeah, I know, only geeks wear waders... thanks Moyer!) So, now I'm in water up to my neck wearing waders that come up to my chest. At least I didn't roll! Anyway, I feel fine. The water feels refreshing and I work my way in to shallow water and grab my bow and start to pull into shore. But the shallower I get, the harder it is to walk! Eventually, I couldn't lift my legs any more. I felt like I had a 50 lb. yellowtail in each leg! Eventually, I had to sit in the shallow water and pull my waders off. It was pretty embarrassing, but I don't think anybody took pictures anyway. So that was my day. I couldn't stay for the after-party, but I had a great time on the water. Thanks to all the organizers for a great event.
