Pics and vids to come

A big thank to all the great chefs. There was wayyy too much food, but it was ALL good. Todd, thanks for cooking breakfast on both mornings.

Congrats to bwana for catching a monster trout (7lbs) and for winning the "Money Between Friends."

Congrats to Todd for placing 2nd on the Bite-On tournament that Irvine was hosting.

Special thanks to Fishing Md for the awesome "Team Roby" stickers.

My highlight of the trip was catching a brown trout, kicking Deamon's ass at "Texas Hold Em" and for also getting free lobster bait at the end of the trip.

The food:
Thai Soup, chucks dip, edamame, fried rice, london broil, ribs, brats, banana pancakes was what I ate.
I couldn't eat Yani's tuna, Tony's baked potato, and Bill's salad and soup because I was too full.

The people
Campfire and over the radio stories by Tony
Texas holdem and Jim talking smack
Bubblehides fortress of solitude
Everyone lending a hand, the hospitality, and generosity
Caden, enough said

Oh, we fished too.

Thanks again for everyone who made this happen. As always a major success and looking forward to the next one.

Hey, I thought I'd share this with you guys. A buddy of mine came to the lake Sunday morning with his daughter and a friend of hers; so I joined them and fished with them. It just so happened that he hooked a fish of a lifetime, on trout gear. He spent at least 45 minutes fighting it, and landed it. I did however net the fish, and drag it on shore (I couldn't lift the thing out of the water, for fear of breaking the net). here's the pic:


This it it, right before the release.

Wow,

I still have a warm and fuzzy feeling from yesterday. The stories,
the fun and the freakin' kick ass food!!! Tony, you're a great
organizer, and Bwana, you're one hellava fisherman!!

Wish I could have spent the night, but then again, I might
have missed the yellow-thing-a-ma-bob...

Well here we are on the "6" of this trip, thanks to everyone for showing up, I don't know about anybody else but I had a great time! I know we didn't catch any yellowtail or seabass or halibut on this trip.... but it's not always about catching a glory fish. As corny as it sounds...it's really about the, "people". Spending time with other kayak fisherman, sharing stories, enjoying good eats...complaining about, "somebody that snores" too loud....

Special congrats to Mike (Bwana) for catching the biggest stringer and the biggest fish! Also for donating his winnings to Paul Lebowitz and his family for his son James. A total of $170 we raised!

John: Too bad you didn't get to spend more time with us, thanks for the firewood...too bad they didn't let us burn it that night...You gotta tell Jerry to make an exception for us next time.


Jason (Hellster): I don't know what happened to you...I know you made it to the lake...Seems like you never found us. We were kinda hard to miss....in any case thanks for at least showing, too bad we didn't get to finally meet you, well maybe next time.
