This group of gentlemen are near and dear to our hearts and we are grateful for the long standing friendship we have the privilege of sharing.  Thank you to David and Sara Samarin for all your hard work which keeps this tradition alive.  Thank you to Dan Shubin for coordinating all the food, which is no small task and to Jim Demetriff for all the beautiful fruit and antioxidants.  It was wonderful to have the new generation onboard and of course we are honored to have the esteemed elders maintaining their support for this trip without whom it would not be possible or the same.

And last but not least, we are thankful that George Nazaroff and David Beliakoff only got an eyefull and  not a mouthfull on the starboard side. 

Mother Nature took her fair share of tuna on adventure but in return gave the guys a breathtaking scenery, one like no other, for this trip.  What they brought home was Grade A quality 

Congratulations to jackpot winners:

1st place:  Adam Tekunoff  105# (first timer...of course)

2nd place:  Dan Shubin  78.5#

3rd place:  Morrie Beliakoff  78#

We look forward to this occasion every year - see your community next August!
