Great event, I wish I had realized my watch was set for daylight savings time. Got back an hour late, but I did not have any fish to weigh so not a big loss. I wish I had been there to buy raffle tickets to add to the amount raised. Yanni the ceviche was awesome. Ray congrats on getting your wish, hope to see you out there again soon, Mark.

Jim Sammons, thanks for the cold one, Mark!

I just counted up the raffle money $2172, add that to the entries that totaled $2204 and we raised $4376,coming together to fish from our kayaks. A fine tribute to James with the money raised going to the James A Lebowitz Scholarship and an organization batting autism.

Big congrats to Greg Barnicoat, taking Big fish honors and biggest yellowtail with a 26 pounder. John Ruiz won the halibut division with a 24 pound halibut.

Congrats to Raymundo Ayus the raffle big winner, he took home the Ocean Kayak Trident 15.

Thanks to everyone who made the a pleasure to be a part of and a great success. :luxhello:

Congrats to the kayaking community for raising this money for autism!

Great seeing everyone, congrats to those who nailed those yellowtails, and Big John's 24lb halibut! Can't wait for next year.
