2007 Winner - Shane Melton
Peskys say "Share Bagels, Not Crabs"	"One - four - niiiiiiiine!"

Past Winner - Mike Shroesbee Drinking to forget	Some Rules $120 per angler (still a deal!). Includes kickoff at world famous Villa Nova in Newport Beach and awards banquet at Descanso Beach Club on Catalina. You're on your own after that! Great goodie bucket filled with worthless junk. Anyone caught acting too serious will be disqualified. Bonus points awarded for correct placement of your bagel. Finder of the Golden Tail will be lavished with many things - maybe even the bar tab.

Los Pescadores supports Tag and Release	Crack Pesky Marlin Spotters

Some More Rules 40 mile fishing radius from Avalon. 30 lb tackle for marlin, 80 lb tackle for swordfish (attaboys only for lighter tackle). Not required to report position (you'll get grilled about it at the banquet). Any fish still on after 4:30 pm on the 22nd don't count. You obviously forgot to lick the fish and should have used more pressure. Failure to comply interrupts the cocktail hour, and screws up our less-than-perfect tally system.
