Though 2016 was a slow year of catching for me it was one of the best years ever tournament wise. Starting to fish on week 4 of a 10-week challenge meant that I had to put a lot of time on the water and fishing not only against private boaters, cattle boats and other kayakers but against guys like Greg and Tony who took 1st place in the MDR Halibut Derby wasn't going to make it any easier. Fast forward a few weeks and the tournament is over, I take 2 of the 6 categories with a 40lb halibut and a 32lb WSB, the halibut becomes the 4th or 5th halibut in the 40lb class that I’ve caught from a kayak, I claim approximately $10k in cash and prizes................what a year
Let’s see what 2017 brings
