Report from Pierfishing.com:
Mina and I enjoyed our first PFGT which was also our first trip to Catalina. Just wanted to thank Hashem and Leslie for being sweet to Mina--she had a rough morning (throwing up twice on the boat, nipped by the pelican, admonished by Hashem--haha, just kidding). Also, a very special thanks to Dora and Amanda for taking Mina to the playground and treating her to ice cream! She mentioned Amanda several times to my wife when we got home. :)
The fishing was all too brief (ended up with 2 short calicos and 2 bonitas in 4 hours) but it was nice to be fishing amongst friends. My only regret is that I didn't spend more time greeting everyone. Gyozadude, jimbojack, greybeard, and ark, it was nice to meet you. Also good to see Ross, Ben and his wife, and Ken again.
Congrats to all the winners and hope to see you next year (or sooner)!
