We left sat afternoon don't offically know who won yet, But it was a blast! I'm glad we drug something to the beach after talkin so much crap the past 2 years! We pulled ours from around a wreck a few miles offshore after chumming about 45 minutes my boys flea market 12/0 started clickin. She put up a good effort but with 150 power pro and some heavy gruntin Lil' John managed to bring her to the boat in about 25 mins. Hell the real fight was at the boat she raised "kane" thats for sure. Guess I was a little excited about the orginal estimate they always look bigger when your the one doin the catchin  Anyways as was the last event, this was one great time for everyone. It was nice to meet everybody special thanks to chum-chum for the bags and the support also to konz for helpin clean the beastie. Thanks also to Clay and the Chunky crew for kinda keeping things organized. Here's a few shots. 
And in the days that followed the islanders came to know him as kane mano, the shark hunter....... http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/gallery.asp?gallery=1718 "TEAM KANE MANO" "The 2008 Spring Unoffical PFF Shark Tourney Winners!"

About 2:00 am Sunday morning inside the pass Sniper and I had enough chum in the water sharks in Orange Beach could smell it. Wham!! Penn 50 starts screaming, I pick it up pop the hook 3 time to get a good set and was not prepared for the other end of the line to start running out. It striped a couple of hundred yards off the 50 before I could get him stopped. I worked him hard for about 45 minutes, finally got him coming to me. I know he is a monster and in the back of my head I'm counting my cash from winning the tourney. Well I am bringing him up close to the boat when he decided he wanted know part of our tourney or playing the staring role in it. He takes off deep and fast, shoots under my boat so quick I could not keep the line out of the outdrives then he was gone and I was left with no rigging. It was such a rush fighting one that big that I was not mad about what had happened, just dissapointed. By far the largest fish I have ever hooked and fought. An hour later drag starts running out but alot slower than before. I reel it up to find a Bull about 3'.

Well I knew this was going to be the highlight of the day. Coming home sitting down after cleaning all the gear and reading Jays report.  OK i will admit I will need to get a check list started for sure. Im not going to come up with an elaborate excuse. But I will give it a try. Note the pregnant wife, the ill three year old and the worked ass off friday. I was lucky to even get to the camp. Bladeco I am so sorry I dragged you out, I owe you another trip. Next one will be better. Thanks for going out with me though. On a different day. We get up and I take the youngest son to the baby sitter.  Next we set out of the pass we doin it now. Anchor up and set out the chum the oil and the dead. We are going to catch a shark. 3 hours later seas building, we up the anchor and drift. Nothing! Make my way over to Pickens, wife starts chumming . OK whats worse than a pregnant sick woman on a boat? ..... MMMmmm...NOTHING. So I head on in,  I had a blast and wish we could have caught something. Over all lessons learned and nobody got hurt. Cant wait till the next time. I will have that list by then..lol

So did kanemano's shark win????? As I was leaving, Matt (Ocean Man) called on the radio saying that he had a contender and was on the way back to McRee. What's the scoop on the final results. It was great to put some new faces to the screen names. Nice to meet you Generator Man and sorry that you were stuck on the beach with me drinking a beer while all your gear/bait was at the house.

| I had a good time meeting some of the guys out there, I wasn't able to get any fishing in, but it was fun hanging out with everyone. Clay did a great job cooking up that hammerhead. Generator Man, thanks for the glow stick for my kayak, that came in pretty handy in the blackness of the night I was paddling back in. All in all, it was a great time at the beach.

Ah its all good Generator. I had to give ya a shot in the ribs. Hey it happens all the time no worries. He look at it this way I forgot the sh*t paper here at the house so it could have been a really bad weekend if one of my teamamtes had not brought his. I have done it and so have many others man we will make it out sometime. I was just glad to get out meet some new people and have a good time. would have been nice to caught something but hell you can't do it all at once sometimes. next time though I will get on the board at least. I have not heard who won yet officially. I know we left early due to my teammates tent blowing down( thank god I brought my tent! It is designed for high winds and going up on the mountains so I was nice n dry and it didn't even ripple in the wind haha) I spent the better part of the morning when I got home cleaning the boat out. All those fish parts and chun and god know what else that was all over the deck was starting to rot and the smell was terrible. dawn dish soap and some bleach made it go away somewhat. I think it is just going to need to rot out eventually and washed away over time. anyhow gotta go talk to you all later.

| I had a great time out there. The sharking was a little slow but we managed to catch the one bite we had. She hit the 6/0 with 80lb braid. I fought and fought this shark for quite a while. I really thought I had a good one. It took 35-40 minutes to get her to the boat then another 15 or so to get a tail rope on her. Once I finally got her up to the boat I seen that she was foul hooked in the pectoral fin and that's why she put up such a fight. 
When I gutted the shark she was full of babies. 
Turned out to be 5'1" to the fork or about 8 inches too short. I still owe somebody my $80 entry fee. I tried to pay Clay on the beach but he wasn't ready for the money at that time then I never got back up with him before the tourny was over. On a side note, the reef we were fishing was covered in Red Snapper. When we first got there we set out the chum churn and had some bonito's behind the boat in no time. I tossed out a gotcha and hook up with one right away. I put him in the boat and passed the rod off to Duayne. He threw out and was instantly hooked up. When he got it to the boat it was a small AJ. He threw back out and was hooked up again this time it was Red Snapper. 
We lost the Gotcha after that and tied on a grub and took turns catching Snapper after Snapper on it with a ultra light and 8lb test. 
I had a great time at the tournament met a few new people and the Shark nuggets were good, especially with the Thai sause. Thanks Clay for putting it all together and to everybody else that showed up for making it what it was. Cant wait for the next one.

| My thanks to Clay for the cooking advice, the great shark nuggests and the opportunity to meet several of the people around the camp. Also thanks to get-n-wade for the invite to fish aboard his boat. Unfortunately was unable to go due to ferrying people back and forth from sherman all day. Hope to have the opportunity to go at a later date. Would like to thank John and Kane for the shark meat and conversation. Look forward to fishing with you sometime later this summer. It was my first time to actually meet some of the fishing forum members and I really enjoyed the opportunity to do so. Spent two days and nights there with family members, did no fishing due to thumb and wrist surgery recovery. Did learn from you guys and will try to be active participant in future events. tks guys. dan

I thought the Hammerhead tasted good. I had always heard that they were the worst and not worth cleaning but that one tasted fine to me.

| Actually the hammer was delious. I have always thought Bullshark tasted like and had the consistensy of chicken brest, a white, meaty kinda of dryer meat that is best nuget sized, breaded and fried. The Hammer, as other people on the beach said was close, but more like pork a bit. Little darker, and meatier. Would prob be great in sweet ans sour pork recipe.

Kinda makes ya proud to be part of this forum when ya have an event like this. Just off the cuff so to speak and truly have the event be for the pure fun of fishin and a chance to meet "GOOD" people. Ocean Man you certainly deserve kudos for steppin up about the entry fee. Hell, I got what I wanted out of the deal by bein' able to talk the talk till the next time we pile up at Ft. McRae for #3. And believe me I will take every oppertunity to talk smack till then. Lord help ya if we place at the next one! Thanks to all!

By the looks of things,seems like Clay did a great job of pulling a successful tourney out of his ass. Great job man,ya should be commended  I did a drive-by out at McRae yesterday afternoon during the gailforce wind experience and only recognised Franks(Boardfeet) boat on the eastside of the island but didn't feel like dealing with beaching. Again good job of pulling off a nice event Clay.

Clay-Doh (5/12/2008)
a UNOFFICIAL PFF SPEARFISHING TOURNAMNET! You can only get about 4 good dives in in a day, so you do your thing, try your best, then get to spend more time on the island relaxin and crap talkin! I think Brandy was on to something, and we need to make it happen! I'm in and will help with any setup etc... Let's do it. Let's get it started. I say either July or Sept since guns and hoses is August 9th.

Thanks for bringing my Seeker rod and tackle bag to the Oval Office meeting last night Clay. Also, thanks to Get'n Wade for donating such great prizes for the tournament. I will be putting them both in action shortly. I plan to use that rod to take home first place in the fall tourny.
