First Annual SHTS Invitational

The South Hoopers Tolling Society hosted our first annual fishing tournament last weekend. Here are a few pictures from the event:

Karl Zierfus, he was my partner on my boat. If he's the end of the rainbow, then there is no hope:


Dave Foote, Andy Hughes, and Dave's friend Chris on Chris's 25 foot Regulator. This boat is sweet:


The Regulator on plane, this is the catalog shot:


Richland Buoy. The ripples in the water are schools of bait fish, the land in the background is my favorite place on Earth, Lower Hoopers Island:


Jeremy Mercer holds up the two winning Rockfish. 1st place was 28", second place was 27". Both caught by the Mercenary boys (Tyler and Jeremy) aboard Jeremy's new boat, the "Flaming Butterball":


The Spanish Mackeral I caught that won the "Other Species" Division:


All of us at the end of the day, this one will be hanging in the clubhouse:
