It was amazing to watch these guys and gals reaching distances in excess of 800 feet. Their equipment was out of this world. Special rods in excess of 13' with reels that were worked over with the precision of a race car.
These folks take their sport very serious. All are fisherman that have taken a slight turn and applied what knowledge to this fascinating sport.
I will be writing an article once I get the full details on the outcome of the 2 day event.
There were contestants from all over the world. Some as far as Australia and England I was told. Plus many from different parts of the states from as far as Hawaii, California, Texas. North Carolina Maryland, New York, New Jersey, and some others I am not sure of but all in all it was a bunch of extremely friendly people.
If you can imagine casting over 2 football fields as an average cast with the majority going well over 700' and as far as 835'. Like I said I am waiting for the results as from the looks of it the record might have been broken, we will see.
This group was very friendly to all outsiders and I felt right at home walking around with camera in hand snapping tons of pictures. I will post a few later with the article.
Happy Casting
