[gary sullivan]

This is just a teaser pic of what some of our local kayak fishermen pulled out of the water today. Hopefully they will tell their stories so the rest of us can learn how it's done.

I noticed that as well. It looks like one of each.
Congrats to the the winners and everone else that hooked up with a WSB.
Nate, way to go from bass fishing one week to slaying toad WSB the next.:cheers1:

Details: The fish came in 105' on a mac w/ 2 oz lead. It went 41.8# for 2nd place. I'll leave the other stories to their respective authors, but I will say that Dorado50 is leading WCW 07 with double toadage. congrats to all that caught today.:luxhello: :you_rock:
Thanks Derek & Chris for the pics.

Nice batch of fish indeed:cheers1:

My big one was a juvi black that was around 5 lbs. He swam down after the release.
Thanks for the burgers and hot dogs. They sure hit the spot:eating:

[Grego]

Way to go guys....Corey!! I knew if I left you, you would hook up....I had to head in and get on the road to a Bday party....I knew that was gonna happen! Did you get it after you pee'd? or after you chewed the 7th piece of gum on the right side only? Actually, during my long drive home I was thinking worse....that it was gonna blow open on wsb and everyone but me was gonna land one. Congrats to everyone that hooked up AND landed one....I need one of those!

[Brett D.]

I can't tell if Brad is holding up a Yellowtail or WSB. Which is it?

[rastrev]

Congrats to everyone that got fish today!

That would be the first place WSB. Big thanks to OEX for the prizes and to everyone that played the jackpot.:D

[yakinitup]

UNBELIEVABLE!!
Nice work!:luxhello:

[Corey]

Way to go guys....Corey!! I knew if I left you, you would hook up....I had to head in and get on the road to a Bday party....I knew that was gonna happen! Did you get it after you pee'd? or after you chewed the 7th piece of gum on the right side only?


I think it was after the 7th piece of gum, but I lost count at 5. :D

I turned and headed back out for another lap, this time staying out in deeper water. I paddled over a school that I saw on the meter and that was that. Landed on the beach by 10:40.:kayak-surfer:

[wavster]

Way to go guys! Considering how many of us didn't score, you guys put
the rest of us to shame.:notworthy:

Thanks to BWE for hosting the event and the prizes!

[wavster]

... Big thanks to OEX for the prizes and to everyone that played the jackpot.:D

Great job Brad. Your consistency amazes me.

By the way, what was the total for the jackpot?:D

[cioppino]

That would be the first place WSB. Big thanks to OEX for the prizes and to everyone that played the jackpot.:D


Congrats madsci. I will gladly give you some jackpot money if it means landing a gringo like this. 91 Thanks ratdog for the OTW shot.

nice calm morning out there. Got mine on a spanish down deep. Landed him and went bendo two minutes later on the greenie up top only to dump the yellow shortly there after. The yellows went off for a minute. One just about hit my bow chasing a mack. When they are that close it really gets yer heart pumping. Gotta love it.

Thanks to all who put this together. Burgers and dogs were great!

[Iceman]

Congrats to all Brad great win and D50 you may have secured the years YT jackpot on the very first day........if you entered it.

Nothing but a sandbass for me........I don't want to run away with WCW, I like the chaselol

Great seeing so many familiar faces!

[esdees]

Some nice fish were caught today. Congrats to everyone. I had a lot of fun, even though I missed my chance. Nice one, Brad!

[aguachico]

Damn, OK Adi. I'm in and fishing in a few hours. Gotta get me some.
Congrats on the fish guys.

[madscientist]

Great job Brad. Your consistency amazes me.

By the way, what was the total for the jackpot?:D

Thanks, but it was largely luck. I've been consistently bad of late so hopeful this is marks a return to form.:cool:

Jackpot went $520. Sweet.

[fishdude]

:luxhello: WOW!! Way to go everyone that busted out some toads on the tourny. Great photo, I can not wait to here and see more pics and get more details.
Sorry I could not make it, I had to run a golf tourny for my Jr. at the club I work at.
Will be joining WCW by tomorrow.:cheers1:

Congrats again to all that caught fish and Participated.
What was the total count for fish and anglers???????

[DESTROYER]

WTG Guys! I wish that I could have been there! Being a father comes first! I'm glad that some very nice fish were caught! Congrats the Brad for once again showing that fishing is not always luck!

TL-Matt

P.S.- Where's Adi in that picture:p

[Mr_PeaCH]

Oh it is so ON. Way to go guys... it is an honor just to be associated with this tourney. :D

[FISHIONADO]

Holy Mother of Lamb!

[Brian Sanner]

Wishing that I HAD entered this, but my fishing priorities lie elsewhere. It's not too late I guess :rolleyes: . Congtatulations to all that did participate and especially to all that were successful enough to land a nice fish. Congrats Steamy on a beautiful WSB, I am sure that you were really stoked on the catch. Dave E.,......wow nice fish.......hadn't heard or seen you in a while, glad to see you haven't dropped off the face of the earth :D , congrats!. Way to go all :luxhello: !!!

[Calcutta]

that's awesome! killer seabass, that yellow looks like a slug! Very nice!! :cheers1:

[Ryan The Sealion]

nice job everyone! i was @ the catalina WSB tourney this weekend and the big fish went 45...did brads fish beat it..? LJ > CAT ?:D had a ruff time...its hard to get bait and fuel when ur whole team is stuck in avalon jail.. :(

[dorado50]

I was fishing about 50 yards off the the kelp and noticed surface bait so headed over and stayed about 20 yards off the bait. Dropped down with sinker and small spanish. Few seconds later I'm on a big fish, and of course its on my 15# outfit, the spectra save me ! Took about 30 mins to bring him on board. This yellow scaled out at 36.4#. I caught the WSB on my way in :paddleersmilie: with a greenback on the same rod and reel. Scaled out at 31.2# Thanks Brent and OEX for hospitality. :luxhello:

[dorado50]

And A big:luxhello: to the top three places, you guys had big_ _ _ WSB !!

[Aaron&Julie]

What a photo!
It looks more like a six-pack charter that had a very successful Catalina trip, rather than a bunch of kayakers who launched through the surf and caught big 'uns within a mile of the shoreline.
Congratulations to all.
