Nice post Marty thanks for putting it up. I’m sorer than a whore on two for one nite from being up and out first day home from hospital and just chilled today. If you did work on the boat today i appreciate it as the guys on mine looked like they would have pretty big heads today. I want to thank everyone who participate each year and those that give me a hand with it. I was great seeing everyone briefly and thanks for the card a good wishes. As you saw I’m out for the rest of this season and possibly next. Looking forward to everyone’s reports posted here if the big guns make a showing. If your ever in the area stop by have a drink and visit. After the season if anyone wants helps straightening their stuff up or re tying for next year stop on in and I’ll give ya a hand. Good luck the rest of the season and stay safe. Believe me when I say your whole life can change in a blink of an eye, it has for me!!

I'll be down the boat tomorrow to clean and bring some tackle home. I'll clean yours as well. I may have to borrow your stiff bristle deck brush to get the ground in dirt off my deck

Thanks so much to Mako Mike, Marty, and Bruce for organizing the tournament.

Pre-fishing definitely paid off... I knew where there weren't any fish (north of 86) and I knew where there were fish (55-135' from Bloody Pt. and a few miles south)... But getting them to bite with a messed up very light incoming current was a different story.

22 lines in the water by sunrise a hair south of Bloody Pt. Shortly thereafter we had a small fish on board line close to boat but it wouldnt pop clip and lost it before even got clip to pop.

2 hours later about 930 we had a 31 incher in the box, also wouldn't pop clip and had to clear entire side to get to it because closest to board with 8 board lines on that side. Caught in 75' of water on chartreuse bloody point tandem.

Just before starting to bring in lines #2 went in the box about noon... Barely legal at 20.25".

Not only do I do all the prep that Marty described and more, but I have been running full spread since mid October and fished 3 other tournaments this fall so that when this one came up we would be ready to win!

Thanks to my Awesome Crew - Chad and my boys Brian and Darin!

Looking forward to hanging the Judge Shootout Plaque in my office and defending the title next year!

Mako Mike, thanks for lining up the tournament.
Congratulations to Jason and crew and Lucky Jay.
It's always a fun day on Marty's boat even if we didn't get the big one.
Marty, thanks for letting me tag along again this year, I promise I will be on my own boat next year, and I will be in the hunt for the plaque.
Great to see everyone again and happy holidays to all.

Big THANK YOU to all those who were involved. I was glad Mako Mike was able to make it to the weigh in even if he couldn’t fish.

Congrats to Jason and Jay on their winnings!!!



Maybe next year we try to do this a little earlier in the season, while there are more decent sized fish around?????

Sorry for the late reply.......I'm still recuperating from the awesome weekend.


We didn't have any keepers to weigh in so we decided to stay out and fish the rest of the day. While we had jigged up tons of shorts, we didn't catch a darn thing north of the bridge....well except for a visit from a very attractive Coast Guard young lady. Garlien can give his impression......but I'm pretty sure He rated her higher than Kate Upton. All was well though. I was driving the boat when we got stopped...lol.

With "No Violations Found" and our successful inspection paperwork in hand we were on our way to one final spot to fish before calling it a day just before dark. Thanks for running a tight ship, Mike; I was glad everything was in order while I was at the wheel.

I think we were on the water for almost 11 hours. Yikes.
