2011 Official Final WCW Submission


After pounding sand forever in the local water for nada, all it took was a change of scenery. This was the winning fish at the March Baytubers Tournament.
Got a 9lber first, then released a 7lber and finally this fish decided to make my day.

Nice Hali Don :D

[deepdvr]

Awesome fish Don! And a tourney winner to boot. :cheers1:

I was fishing LJ that day and as I was losing my mind looking at my finder's blank screen, my gut was telling me you were going to find a nice one up in DP.

I was waiting at the Launch this morning for you???? Don't worry, you didn't miss anything except a cold breeze and a building swell.

My hat's off to you. You're a fishing machine. :reel:

Thank god you live 100 miles away from LJ. :D

[Hamachijohn]

That is freakin awesome!! Hope the halibut cooperate this year up here in SF

[roby]

Getting that new PA is just not fair...the fish have no chance....

:luxhello:

[Whizz Bang]

Don,

Well done, you had an awesome run and are certainly one hell of a fisherman. Your showing is even more impressive given the commute you make to fish LJ. Very cool.

Way to close it Don,
nice halibut! :cheers1:

[Matt]

Nice job Don!!! Let me know if ya ever want to fish standing up!

[THE DARKHORSE]

Just imagine if you bought that silly Pro Angler last Summer. Even without it, I bet you can remember the smile on the Yellowtail's face as he shook your hook at the gaff---right beside the kayak.

I'm pretty sure that fish's face will be engrained into your memory for some time. Especially since this was a slam-completing-Yellowtail, no less. :doh:

Apparently those extra eighty points (30 for the fish and 50 for the slam bonus) came into play after all. Getting pipped at the last second has got to sting a bit---ouch! :eek:

[michal]

Wow really nice one post here. keep it up.............!
