As most of you know the JK Classic was postponed due to weather and is scheduled for this Sat. We got about 70 last tally and it seems like theres gonna be some running, anyone thats interested can sign up at Scotty's in the Grove before 7am, quite a few novices and wannabes so it should be quite merry & happily interesting

...

If you don't compete come on over anyways we're having an after party (what'd you expect its Miami

) and rumor has it a flock of Hooter girls will be present frolicing in fish slime (just had to throw that in)....yeahhhhhhh.

Here's a few pix of the trophies we donated. Jack was my inspiration behind the design as he is an avid H-Slinger, I used the same process as a speargun build- laminates of Lacewood (mimicing fish scales) and Ipe (for some mass), poured 2 epoxy "tracks" inlaid with german silver(mimicing a pelagics skin), and get this- a useable speartip, so if you ever use it to get a trophy fish with...then you'll have to great memories

games on guys be safe, shoot some fish, and have some fun doing it!
