Phil,

The tourny was held and they did have a dinner with prizes and an auction with all proceeds going to charity. I heard that as many as twenty boats were turned away at the ramp, but that number is strictly hearsay.

I think if anybody lost, it was the charities. Next years turnout (if its held) may be much smaller.

I did attend the dinner - to be with friends - there was a tournament afterall, there were winners - Team Pajaro Loco won "the Other fish" category with two yellowtail.

I just can't come up with the names of the other teams, but I'm sure you could go to the website www.fishinforthemission.com and get the info.

After a few opening comments about "as some of you know, I didn't fish today, I went to play golf" everything seemed to be business as usual.

Many nice and expensive items raffled away to participants. A few expensive items (trip to costa rica) auctioned off for $2900.00. (Which again, makes the whole "we aren't paying $500. for bracelets" all the more rediculous.)

But, I understand that over $18000 was raised for the Mission, the children's orphanage and the library before the auctions. So, from that prospective, it was a worthwhile event.

If I remember correctly, first place was a boat called Second Wind, with two dorado totaling just over sixty lbs. They also took second in the "other" category with a single 50lb wahoo caught Friday. Second overall was Crackerjack (Mike and Rosie's) with two dorado, I think they also caught a wahoo. And as mentioned, Pajaro Loco got two yellowtail, one just under 40lbs, to take first in the "other" category.
