Congrats Tony! No small accomplishment winning what is probably the biggest halibut tourney in Southern California. And to show a few goons in powerboats how to do it, well, extra points for that... :notworthy:

Well done! I can imagine the grumbling in the crowd. Getting beat by a Tupperware-jockey.

Those big yacht guys, skiff guys, commercial guys that were fishing the tournament are probably scratching their heads now...They got beat by some kayak clown on a Hobie. Hopefully by winning it'll be good for the sport and good for the industry and good for OEX. I would like to thank the CCA for sponsoring me for this tournament, I promised I would try my best. If you haven't signed up for your CCA membership I would encourage you to do so.

[Iceman]

I heard you were really more excited to possibly take the month's WCW 3 Kings Halibut Crown!:D

Bunch of us entered this tourney about 10 years ago. Grego weighed in the only legal for us, a 24 incher...........I remember the stink boat crowd chuckling when the weight was announced.........We have finally been redeemed!

I heard the Discovery channel is going to make a series about Tony's halibut exploits. Gonna name it Tony's big but, or something like that.
Congratulations Tony, that was a fine looking fish.

[Silbaugh4liberty]

Nice Job Tony! Well deserved. Have fun in Alaska!! :luxhello::cheers1:

[Tman]

Getting it done...way to go Tony...

Now to get some of the bigger models in Alaska, have a blast!

[Aaron&Julie]

14.8 is the bag weight of the Calicos

Thank you for your reply. Otherwise, a single calico that size would beat or be close to the record, I didn't bother to look it up, though.

[kayakfisherman]

How did you get the entire group of team sewer guys onto
your kayak so that you could have 5 lines in the water at one time??


Congrats Tony, awesome job!!!

[GregAndrew]

Congrats Tony. That was the proverbial needle in the haystack, with only 5 or 6 halibut caught from a field of around 100. On a side note, Roby came out on Sunday with us and caught what would have been the 2nd largest fish (if he had entered). Although it would have only netted the 3rd place standing with the fish release bonus 2nd place took. Gloom and doom forecasts turned out to be 2 very fishable days. All I managed was a couple Leopard sharks and a burned up memory card that lost all the UW video I shot on Sunday.

[ericko]

Awesome buddy...team sewer always finds the top spot

[Zed]

Nice one Tony.
burned up memory card that lost all the UW video I shot on Sunday.
Bummer. Im sure there was numerous fat halibut flipping you the fin. Just like: "I got a picture of bigfoot but somehow the film got exposed."

[ful-rac]

We fished as hard the conditions allowed this past weekend. I was hoping Greg would catch something so we could both be up on the leader board together, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. After fishing this tournament...Man is the deck stacked against you...The bonuses the boaters get for releasing fish just isn't fair. There's no way to bring back a live halibut on a kayak, especially a large one. Kayakers can't weigh in bass, because they have to be released alive...:eek:

2nd place
Before bonus: 16 pounds
After bonus: 21 pounds

I'm just lucky it wasn't even close otherwise it really woulda sucked!

[StinkyMatt]

Congrats Tony on a huge win !

:cheers1:






P.S. I hope that all you guys know that we just created a "monster"!

If you thought that he was all that before........now he has a damn trophy to prove it. :eek:

no kidding... that would have been some serious bs...

[Harry Hill]

How long will the bass last in a bait tank that is pumping fresh water in all of the time? I had a dozen mackerel last a long time on the water. I think five bass would do okay.

How do you keep them alive on the freeway....?

[Harry Hill]

I was thinking you checked in on the water. I didn't consider having to travel to check in. Just shows you how much I know about these tournaments.

[roby]

To me, Tony is a true CHAMP. I would call him the reigning CHAMP for the year 2016....

Lumberjacks at Norms for everyone!!!!

Congrats tony!!!
I always keep my fish alive if they fit the livewell I had this huge sand bass one time went straight from the water into a cooler I could hear it slapping around inside for at least 25minutes on the freeway. Heck one rockfish was still alive at octicos (johnn's) house when we fillet them in his from yard. Some of these fish are pretty tough.

Congrats Tony. Way to represent.

To keep bass alive on the freeway just use an aerator. They suck for keeping bait alive, but work well for livewells. Just make sure you change the water before the long drive, and make sure there's plenty of water to make up for what sloshes out on the drive.

[easyday]

Congrats tony that's awesome.

[walrus]

I don't know why I'm not surprised by this, enjoy Alaska. You need to change your screen name to Big Butt. CONGRATS!
