BATTLE OF THE SEXES

We first have to say 'CONGRATULATIONS" to the Ventura County Sportfishing Club for a fabulous day in our first annual Battle of the Sexes fishing competition. We really wanted to bring that beautiful trophy home, but they won it fair and square. We came prepared and were ready to do battle:


They got a jump on us in the beginning, but Ruta and Shirley started landing some big calicos and sandbass. Then it was pretty even the rest of the day. Julie was rocking some big fish as well and Divine was picking them off, one by one. Anneye, Sophia, & I were struggling a little, but we came thru to even the weight. Like I said, it was pretty even till the last drop. But the comaraderie between both teams was the best of all. Jerry, Mr. "half-finger", and I kidded all day about our disabilities. Even Skipper Shawn joined in the fun by saying that Jerry and I were Siamese twins, joined at the finger, and that's where they separated us. It was crazy fun. And then Scott hooked the winning calico bass - not only to win the competition, but the jackpot as well. So of course, we made him wear the fish hat, and he wore it with pride.


Even thought we lost the Battle, we won their friendship - so much so, that they wore our boas on the way home.

Congratulations to VENTURA COUNTY SPORTFISHING - we tip our rods to you and look forward to going at it again next year !!
