Pics Squidnation report- OCMC Kids Classic

We have a rule ever since I lost my cool on the adults 3 years ago in the first kids classic. Adults don't touch a rod during the kids tournament. So our crew this year consisted of Nephew's Anthony and Christopher Pino, Nico and 7 yr old Wil Kennington. Our goal was to let the kids do everything.

First bite of the day came on the tower rod in the middle of the spread. Naked dink on an 8/0 VMC Circle hook. white grabbed and let go. Anthony dropped it back and got em on. A short while later Christopher grabbed the leader but not before the white did a backflip and landed right on the teaser that was hanging from the rigger.









Next bite came off a ball as 7yr old Wil got in on the mahi action and anthony finished it up for some dinner





then wil got in on the wiring action with a dolphin. Nico finished it off with a nice gaff shot





then a rather unusual moment when Anthony hooked a bigger dolphin - in the 20lb rangle on a little minnow bass lure but the fish made a b-line to the ball and got wrapped in the ball.



Its bad enough these fish get chased by blue marlin all day long but now they have to deal with gaff wheeling mates chasing them around the balls. Well this fish had nothing to do with it and as soon as the mahi noticed anthony he took off and broke the line. Oh well, would have been a great story had he stuck it under water.



Another great day fishing the OC Marlin Club Kids Classic. Thanks Franky and everyone at the club for putting on a great tournament.

Bill, great pics- and while I appreciate your thanks- lets not forget...
Bill Regan and Pat Svehla- tourney Chairs
Frank Goodhart- head of the wish a fish end
Bill Fenwick- donating the toy trucks
Stefanie, Dee, Shirley and the rest of my staff at the club- could not have happened without them.
Sharon, Jimmy and the volunteers at the weigh station- nuff said
Fantasy World Entertainment who donated the carnival stuff.

I am sure I am forgetting people, but I never want to "sport false honors" I did give a fair amount of my time to this, but not nearly as much as the folks I mentioned.

Really an enjoyable tourney to say the least.

Pretty work Bill.

Glad to hear the Squid boat is still raising those pointy things.

Maybe I'll bring my bow along on the next trip and Anthony can stay dry.
