   We would like to thank all our Club Members for their support throughout the year in our many activities. The Frank Costanza Memorial Juniors' Tournament was a big success. Twelve teams swarming around proudly carrying their bait fish for all to admire! But, the top scoring angler, Shawn Brunner of Anchorage, Alaska, had to settle for posing next to his fish, a 400 pound Pacific Blue Marlin. Second place went to Garrett Bennett for angling a 205 pound Pacific Blue Marlin. Both were caught on the charter boat "On the Fly" with Captain Bomboy Llanas. Brandon Johnson caught a 20 pound Ono on the "Puka Kai" with Captain Billy Ross.

   After fishing, the kids, parents, skippers, deckhands and volunteers gathered at the Clubhouse for Pizza, prizes and trophies. Every angler went home with a prize, thanks to the many donations received from our business community.
