Arden, glad to meet you too. I really enjoyed the event and just having a chance to get back down to SD and be part of the fishing community. Too much fun talking to folks and getting caught up.

If you were to told me we would have had 26 pounds on El Cap and 6 pounds on Otay I would have told you you had it reversed. Otay has been where the big ones lived, in my mind anyway. Here is a frog fish from Otay when Cameron and I were pre-practicing a few weeks ago on Otay. Transporter froggie. Good frog, but the weight on the belly has a bad habit of coming off randomly, needs to be addressed, but otherwise a really innovative and unique frog, with the cupped face and arms.

I appreciate the props on the El Cap bag we weighed in. I have never caught a fish over 4 pounds on El Cap, and I've been fishing it on and off for 20 years!?! To get a 9.89...and have be on a rat, and get her in the boat behind Cameron was just too good. Cameron and I laughed for an hour, then he hooks one 7.80 and we almost died in the boat. Just cracking up all day about it all. I had to twist Cameron's arm to get back to the dock 5 minutes early. We had a 13" squeaker we wanted to get rid of. We could have pushed 28 pounds or so with another decent fish. Cameron don't mess around, so five minutes early on tournament day, even with 26 pounds in the boat is hard for him to do. Anyway, I got a cool big fish trophy and I haven't won anything, in a long time, so it was cool to win the Big Fish pot at the El Cajon Ford, at least.
