Yes, we won our second tournament this year. Friends and guests joined us for this fun day of fishing.

It was a long day and a interresting story about how we won it. When I have some time I will write it and post it.

Thank you for the crew Eddie, Michael, Dan, Pascal and for The Pohnpei Fishing Club for putting another year of fishing comps together.
