Ran north at the start knowing they would be building. Oldest daughter took the helm and we had nine rods in by 6:48. 200 copper with flounder poundef dug in, kids tag teamed a 6.5# laker to the boat. We trolled s w and by 160' it was what I like to call Four Winns water. We were having a discussion on what we wanted to do when the 300 copper took off, seven pound king.

To the boys at the weigh in that said there's no way my daughters reeled in those fish, they did, every inch of it. Just like the 100's of others they've landed, mostly in much crappier weather than today.

With each kid having a good fish to weigh, we pulled them to run in. But at 60 it was much nicer, so else set up again on a south troll and soon popped a 5# laker on a wire diver 200' out. Middle daughter reeled that one in solo.

Caught and released a small laker and that was that. Middle daughter does not getting pounded going fast in waves, so we ran in at 17, until I convinced her that it may be smoother if we got on it, so we did, and skipped in at 30. They were loving it, looking for rainbows in the spray off the bow. Soon I can let the oldest run in as she has her permit, but she was holding her sister today.

Also launched next to "Charley-O", my grandpa's boat. Nice to see it out there. I caught my first king out if that boat in, well, 1979...

Thanks to all that out the work into this tournament. I've fished pretty much all the kid's tournaments, and this is the best.
