2nd Annual No Limits Shark Tournament Winners and Points

I thought I'd be fishing during that period and I wanted to support Travis and the club so I thought I would enter. I knew I could only fish the last few days and did not have any expectations of competing or being a threat.

Well, I lost my largest shark and that lead to about 3 phone calls from Raymundo and another 3 from Travis. Then I landed the 8ft 8inch Bull. HOLD ON NOW. I received about another 8 calls from Raymundo and about 3 from Travis plus a few other calls.

Then, I got a call from Raymundo about every hr wanting an update and discussing points and strategy. Then it lead to conference calls with Ray and Travis. I had no intentions of really fishing. I even ran out of bait, but these guys, my team and cfronczek89 got my so wound up I went fishing for sharks with no bait.

I put together some 10 inch lures, the correct leaders and went in to the surf up to my shoulders surf casting with my reel about 3 feet below the surface. I didn't land anything but neither did the shark team about 30 yards up the beach from me baiting in big sharks.

Now I'm in the competition mode!!! I have the fever and I have one night to go. I have no bait. Called about 5 people about bait and hit up about 5 boats and finally scored. Just a few hours left and Ray called me about 5 more times.

Ray's strategy was to keep me on the phone so I had no time to fish. He is a very smart guy and a fierce competitor. I fished all night without even a click, lucky for Ray!!!

I love the competition and the bonds that are developed under stress.
Special thanks to (in no particular order):
Shark Wrestler, Ray, Carl, Travis, Team Bullbuster, Zig, Austin and cfronczek89

u hit it right on the head chris my plan was to have u and travis on the phone as long as possible so u wouldent have much time to fish

this is wat i live for, ever since i was a kid ive been a fierce competitor i hate to lose. when i was a 12 years old we lost the championship game to stealwater park in football and i was so pissed off i didnt know wat to do, so the coach for the other team came up to me and told me and i quote"it dosent matter if u win or lose its how u play the game winning isnt everything" so i look at the coach in the eyes and tell him if that was true than y the hell do we keep score keep ur hippy comments to ur self and ur right about one thing wining isnt everything its the onlything and i see u next year

now that im an old man i learned to lose wait im just kidding i havent learned yet

Ray-congrats on your win.Must be nice with little A/C work going on now and living down south with all those nice BT,s and Bull hanging around.Also to the rest of the guys that caught and fished the tourney.Wish we could have done better up this way.But the wind from the fronts killed us.Had to fish stops in the bay out of the wind and wore winter gear for the 40degree weather with 25mph winds at night.But we are ready for the BHC coming up......Dave

Congrats to the winners and big props to Travis for organizing the event!!
