Kayak Fishing Tourney

Andrew and Austin fished in one of the largest (if not the largest) kayak fishing tournament this past Saturday.

Andrew caught a flounder a little over 18 inches long which would have placed around 3rd place if he wasn't disqualified..

Yep, my boy was DQ'ed because of his mother's mistake with the camera. Basically, my camera split the morning launch photos from the afternoon catch photos so when he presented his photos at weight in, he did not have the launch photo (which is a requirement). Boy, did I feel bad..

The director of the tourney came by yesterday and brought him a bag filled with fishing supplies and a gift certificate to Black Creek Outfitters because of the sportsmanship that Andrew demonstrated when DQ'ed.... and because his fish would have placed in the top 3.. and the director so enjoyed the photo with a bag of chips, Gatorade, water bottles, half eaten banana in the kayak and pouring down rain!!

A huge storm came up while they were out on the water!! They had to tie up the kayak across the creek because the tide was too low to get back to our dock... thank goodness for neighbors...
After it settled some, the boys went back out to fish in the cold rain.. (yep, it got cold after the storm)

The boys had a blast...
