Another day at Newport.

You catch a lot of strange things in the ocean. On this day it was an octopus, a bat ray, and a bad headache.
Me trying to knock the octopus off my yak.

Well it goes down like this... the tournament was postponed till November 10 because of the fires, but I still got out on the water to do some pre fishing. Met up with my buddy Joe at 3:30 am and was on the water by 6:00 am. Right away I had 4 sand bass. That day was so weird, I got sick halfway through the day. Caught a bat ray that almost capsized me, luckily it broke off, but the best part was the octupus that fell for a plastic swimbait. I tried to knock him off with my paddle but he stuck to my boat and crawled to the bottom of the boat. Pretty scary... good thing it finally came off. Well, with all the stuff going on with tournament fishing I'm thinking about leaving Okuma and trying to go after other sponsors with Joe to start our own team next year. It's been fun with those guys but I think it might be time to move on. Keep it in prayer.
