OTC Deep Canyon Challenge: A Yellow Tailed Hero
A sense of purpose is the feeling felt when helping people and individual talent is combined. The Oregon Tuna Classic has a long-standing record of taking the talent and passion of many individuals, and their desire to do good for our fellow man, and turning that into an event many look forward to every year. Del Stephens, chairman of the OTC, addressed the tournament members with a message that could be summed up as we can’t help everyone, but we can all help someone. Immediately after, Navy Petty Officer 1st class Generald Wilson sang the National Anthem (if you’ve watched a superbowl, you’ve seen him sing it too). The Oregon Tuna Classic since 2005, has donated over 1,000,000 pounds of food to the Oregon food bank. Ilwaco, Washington is the location of the OTC- Deep Canyon Challenge. This is a competition of who can get the five largest albacore tuna, and includes a few side pots such as largest fish and pelagic fish.
We will be fishing from an 18' ClackaMax driftboat. Warning, my clients have nicknamed the boat the Clack-a-Lazy-Boy.
I fish daylight until around 2-3pm, generally. That being said, there are times when I am at my take out area a few minutes after that. If you don’t want to start fishing until 10am, or are in a time crunch, just let me know! I am happy to accommodate your day.
Thank you for your service!
