Yesterday, the Los Angeles Fathomiers club held its annual Scramble Meet. Divers may start at dawn and must have the fish back in the circle at a park overlooking the ocean in San Pedro by 3 PM. A total of three fish, with only one of each species, may be entered, and total weight of the three fish determines the winner. Competition is open to all comers- you don't have to be a member of the club.
I'm not much into competitions, but I always enjoy attending the weigh-in, where I see old acquaintances and connect new faces to names I see on Spearboard. (I wish I could say that I see people from DB, but not yet.)
Yesterday I took a few photos at the weigh-in. I'm afraid I don't even have the official results, but I think the winner, Paul Romanowski, had a total weight in the high 60 pound range, with his biggest fish being a white sea bass in the high 30s. In general, the fish entered were white sea bass, yellowtail, sheephead, and calico bass.
If you live in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend the Fathomiers as a way to meet divers and gain knowledge. They are much more welcoming than another well known club in the area, and have some very highly skilled divers among the membership.
The official results will probably be published on Spearboard today, and I'll put them here when available. Meanwhile, I thought at least some of you might like seeming some photos that may capture the atmosphere at the event. Even if you don't belong to the club, this weigh-in would be a great way to meet people next year.
Some sheephead, white sea bass, and the victory stand.
