These images tell the story better than words.

Len Pepe (Gradyman) was our official photographer again this year. Great job Len!

Let's kick it off strongly with Chad Palan's biggest Amberjack and Snapper. Way to go Chad! Chad's dive buddy Jose Santiero did well also with the second biggest AJ.

ENJOY!
