CONGRATS TO OUR PELAGIC COMP WINNERS!!

1ST PLACE @jgatesbeachlife - 30.16lb WSB - $400
2ND PLACE @jggers - 18.5lb WSB - $250
3RD PLACE @taj760 - 17.9lb YT - $100

Taj also went home with a $100 kicker for the largest yellowtail!

This year's competition window was challenging, to say the least. Divers made valliant efforts and boated out as far as Tanner Banks lookin' for trophy tunas. Unfortunately, short period swell and 3'-wind chop dominated open waters, making this year's competition extra sporty. Alas, our competitors still managed to deliver, with 10 submissions and 3 highly sought-after fish making it on the podium!

Thank you, everyone, for your support this year. NCDF has existed for over a decade now, and we wouldn't have lasted this long if it wasn't for your contributions and participation.

We had a blast (once again) at this island this weekend and Happy brought home her FIRST EVER calico, and a mighty 18incher at that! She found him on her very last dive of the day - her 62nd - and waited patiently til he gave her the shot. She shot him from the gill plate out through the mouth, not ruining even a bit of the filet! Swipe to the end to hear her tell how she did it
I was pretty stoked to find one of my own as well, earlier in the day. I had just spotted the calico of my dreams and had alllllmost been able to take the shot, but he swam off before I could swing my gun all the way around. I took a few more drops in that same area trying to find him again with no luck. One more dive and I spotted this guy just chilling on top of a rock, staring straight at me. My shot was almost identical to Happy’s, but in reverse- from the mouth straight through to just behind the pectoral fin. Not my biggest, and not my smallest, but definitely a respectable calico at 21inches.
It was great getting Taj back out with us again, especially now that he’s gonna be a big poppa before too long. A good sport as always, he was so much fun to dive with. I tried putting him on the biggest lobster I spotted all day (which I knew I had zero chance of landing myself), and I almost thought he had it til I saw his arm jerk back SO FAST upon realizing he’d actually grabbed an eel who was hiding in the same hole 🤣
We really scored this weekend with beautiful weather and calm seas. Hopefully we get one more dive day in before the end of lobster season.
