So lets see some of those pictures!

We got to the weigh in near the cutoff due to a late breakfast so I didnt get to see some of the monster fish I heard about!
Damn weigh in guys were just to efficient! :p

I would love to see some of those East coast snappers that beat out my largest West coast snapper.
I heard that a couple of those East coast snapper's could have eaten my West coast snapper in fact! :eek: :D

At least my dive partner still got the largest fish of the tournament. :stick:

I went left and Matt went right.

*note to self- always go right. :D


Matt with 65 pound pre-gutted weight Carbo and a REALLY nice scamp!

Here are some of my favorites.
Shelby had no idea her sheepshead would place. She couldn't grasp how big he was for a summer tournament, let alone the fact she shot him in 65 ft. :rolleyes:

[kmoose]

Oh My God..... I got fish slime on my favorite shorts!!!!!

Our family doesn't shoot or eat triggers. We have nothing against them except for the fact they stink so bad! :D

[RichT]

Great Pics Kenny and Congratulations again Shelby.
You had a pile of fish that most of the men were jealous of! :thumps:

Your dad is right. That is a moose of a sheepshead for this time of year! :eek: :D

[inletsurf]

Congrats Shelby, those are some nice fish there!!

[Spearchucker]

Trigger is just about one of the best fishes available for ceviche.

[dagodiver]

Very cool stuff all.!

Dago.

[mcbas]

Congrats to Shelby on her three trophy day! There's a girl to keep an eye on, you'll be seeing some great things from her in the future. Well done!

[Nikki]

Yes - Shelby smashed em :thumps: Congrats! You will be one force to be reckoned with in the West-Coast tourneys! Keep it coming :D

[Shelby]

Thanks Guys. I'm pretty lucky to have family and freinds that are spearfishermen to help me. I am going work on things that I need to get better on like putting fish on the stringer faster. If I find a spearfishing club that takes kids I can enter more FSDA tournaments.

[Financial Advis]

a very nice subtle hint. I am all for it.

If I find a spearfishing club that takes kids I can enter more FSDA tournaments.

I think that is a great idea. My son is 8 yrs old, and is already practicing freediving. A club may motivate him to become more serious. By the time he's 13 or so he may be ready for tournaments. If he so chooses.
