It sure is hard to cover an entire year! This year was great, lots of fun trips and learning experiences. Here are my highlights, I'm sure I will forget at least half of the good trips.

-Finishing 2nd in the WONdering region with my partner John Lake was way up on the list. We fished hard and had some great trips.
-Catching a 24.56lb limit at Clear Lake with John which included two 5's and a 7 that we caught in the last 45 minutes of the tourney.
-The first day of the Tri-States north team championship where we had 21lbs in the boat in the first hour of the tourney on swimbaits.
-Fishing by myself and driving a bassboat for the first time at Santa Margarita for a WON team tourney and being proud to catch a limit.
-The shallow crankbait bite we got on at the Delta to take 3rd in a tourney with a nice 21lb bag.
-Learning a lot from John about bass fishing and watching him catch some very nice kicker fish in tourneys.
-Never getting skunked in a tournament this year.
-Catching smallies on rip baits at Berryessa, man that was a blast.
-Learning how to sight fish finally and catching some nice fish including a 6-3 at Chabot and a 7-14 at San Pablo.
-Losing two fish over 10 at Chabot in one day was not on the list!
-Going calico bass fishing with Larry Heron and learning some of his most excellent techniques.
-Getting sponsored by Big Hammer / Assalt / Fishco Mfg.
-Catching a legal halibut and seabass at Goleta Beach with Brian, Pete, and Mike. That was a great tubing trip.
-Fishing all over the state and for all sorts of different fish species.
-Applying saltwater techniques to freshwater and vice versa
-I have really enjoyed all the great posts and reports this year on the website. I like the site more now than I ever have.
