Good stuff Bing, check me out at about 113 into the vid getting a full facial. The important thing is nobody drowned .....or got gored and trampled:D

Did those UT Boyz sweep the podium again?

I was wondering who that was leisurely getting a face wash.

[robmandel]

I'll post my pics and vids tonight. certainly was a memorable trip. good to put names to all the screen names. somebody made the comment that we actually got to sit around and get know each other, because usually we'd have been on the water for so long. good times for sure.

buffarescuawindapalooza 2010. you had to be there.

[Siebler]

Ill be Honest there was NO WAY I was going to get in my hatch for my camera on the paddle over. I have very few pictures from this trip but I dont think ill need them to remember it.

Thanks again Andy for setting it up, I had a blast even if I did only fish a few hours all weekend.

Troy, Utah did not Sweep but Alan did try by catching a few nice rockfish off the boilers when nobody wanted to go out and paddle, unfortunately for him people then decided to go out and void his JP.

kinda reminds me of my trip to moonstones

sweet pics as always

[Socalrobt]

Great video's and photos! It looks like it was a blast.

[lamb]

ahhh...

Catapalooza 2010...

I'm sure it will be one of the more talked about things around the camp fire in all future Catapaloozas. :)

Naughty seas and winds didn't allow for much fishing. We hit it hard for little opportunity that we got on our paddle back to the Two Harbors.

I had a great time camping, hiking and relaxing with a great gang.

Can't wait till C2011.

Here's a little clip from our paddle down to the Little Harbor the first day...

[Stoneale]

Wow.. some terrible conditions. Was there a gale warning in effect that weekend? :)

[Lit-up1]

Sorry I have no photos to post but just good memories of this trip.
Thanks Andy and OEX for setting it up-lot's of work and time.
Had a great time in spite of the conditions and hope to make it 2011 if my arms recover:eek:
Great group of guys to fish with and all were willing to help each other in any way possible. Not bad hanging out in the campsite either.

[GregAndrew]

Wow.. some terrible conditions. Was there a gale warning in effect that weekend? :)

Yep, on Sat. and Sun. I am pretty sure. Adi's video is from the paddle down on Fri. (the calmest of the first 3 days).

We even had live entertainment

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/1519green/catapooluza045.jpg

Interesting footware

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/1519green/catapooluza022.jpg

The trip was fantastic caught a calico each day even though the fishing in Little Harbor was tough the swells out side were big.........

[Billy V]

What caused the Trident to go down ?

Looks like the seas were up.

[Iceman]

speculation was a fairly heavily loaded kayak, rough seas. The knock out punch was the through scupper transducer on the side that was getting pelted by the swells, filling the footwell and seeping into the rod pod.

[The Kid]

wow that's rough i am having nightmares just watching that first vid.

[Donfish]

Thx for the footwear update.... I Blewout my flip flops stepped on a poptop and had to cruise on back home...

Good stuff Ed and Allen! Glad you guys make the trip each year!

The bad part of the trip for me was I lost my Crate as it didn't make the voyage home with us but got a call today from the REAL rangers and they found it! It will be on the Flyer tomorrow and I will pick it up.

[paintnfish]

Yikes! Looks like a killer trip. Gnarly weather :eek: Bummed I missed it this year- Video & pics got me all stoked for next year though:cheers1:

[speedydk]

The trip was awesome! Weather less so. Fishing was great on monday. But the overall experience ... Priceless !
Thanks to everyone for making this an unforgettable trip and especially to my roomies in the orange (sometimes flattened) motel! I still find myself daydreaming about the trip and the good times and great people! :you_rock:

The real KING of the flattie's-f'n Adi

Great video-how can the fish bite with all that loud music:confused:

[steveooo]

Aaahh geeez! The guy comes out of retirement for one weekend and he still thinks he is God's gift to halibut. Now his huge head is going to be too big to fit on the yak anymore, and we'll see him on his shiny boat again...

[lamb]

I heard Don's butt is still purple from all the Bosnian backgammon lessons. :D

Nice video, THANKS ED!

I don't know about you guys, but I think I have like 100% kill rate on my yak :D
