Sixth Annual Steve Moyer Memorial kayak and spear fishing tournament 2008 |
Monday, 19 October 2009 11:41 |
The attendance was down a bit from last year but we still had 149 anglers registered for the event, 28 of which were walk ups. Very few people that signed up were no shows so we had 140 kayaks on the water. Which is pretty darn good. The fishing conditions were tough with that wind, right after the festivities ended the wind picked up one of the pop up tents and sent it flying. Good thing most of the people had left by then. Only eighteen fish where weighed in for the event but as always some of them were real heavy fish.1. In the heaviest fish jackpot the winners were as follows
2. The winner of the Halibut division was
3. The winner of the Yellowtail division was
4. The winner of the OTHER division was
No White Seabass where landed this year so the $500 prize will go to the American cancer Society, the trophy will sit on a shelf until next year.
No females weighed in fish at the event so that prize went into the raffle. With this being our first year with a spear fishing division, we were happy to have the nine spearos’ that we had. Awards were given to the top three competitors.
3rd Kevin Cooper: 4 pound yellowtail, was awarded float lines and tools. The winners of the kayak auctions are as follows (proceeds from these sales goes to the ACS)
With all said and done we were very happy with the tournament this year. We had a few less people but thanks to the generosity of those that did compete and donated in the auction and raffles we set a new record for our contribution to the American Cancer Society. This year we will be writing them a check for $12,825 and another to the KFACA for $675. On behalf of the Moyer family, and myself we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all of your help to make this such a great event. |
