Christopher and his brother Calvin are big time fisherman from Cuddy Valley California who came on the trip with their father Mike. This guys really know how to fish and good thing too, because I needed a few California boys to help me out against the crew from Arizona. Chris with a nice dorado he landed during the frenzy.

Another one from Arizona ? Don's from Queencreek Arizona and if I knew there was going to be so many of them I'd a brought some back up.

Who needs backup when you've got the Graham brothers on you're side. Calvin kept the California crew in the game with this nice dorado.

Scott from, you guessed it, Phoenix Arizona really uped the ante when he landed this huge dorado. Now its on !!!!

Enough is Enough ! It was time for me to break out my heavy hitters. Keenan is a bigtime fishing professional as well and I was more than happy to add him to the team.

I could tell the guys from Arizona were a little shifty so I decided to stock my roster with quality rather than quantity. Derba can fish by my side anytime because she really knows what she is doing. She laid into a huge dorado and was more than up for the challenge

A few more cranks and its in the bag. Stick with it Debra we need this one !!

Debra didn't let up for a moment and once AJ stuck it with the gaff it was one up for the gang from Cali. Nice one Debra !!

When he bites going crazy like it was its all about getting the fish in the boat. Once in a while you lose an angler in the process but at least we got the fish. Deckhand Manny Vargas with a nice dorado he just gaffed

The battle raged on for awhile as the dorado continued to crash the boat. Fish flying over the rail left and right. One for Arizona. One for Cali. Another one for Arizona. It was really going back and forth with State bragging rights hanging in the balance. Scott and DP going toe to toe.

A nice one at that.

I'm not going down without a fight !!!!

You didn't think I was going to go too long without a hookup did you.

DP strikes again.

Bud from Scottsdale made one last attempt to keep the boys in it with this nice dorado.

We just needed one more person to step up and seal the victory for the gang from CAli, but who was it going to be.

One more crank !!!!

Bingo !!!!

Calvin you are the man !!! Calvin battled this huge dorado all the way around the boat without letting up for a second. Nice one Calvin

This nice fish earned Calvin team MVP honors and a high five from everyone on board. Way to go Calvin !!!!
