The event was great, but…. What makes this club special is the fact that after getting up at 3am, fishing in 90 degree sun for 8+ hours, we still filled the private room at Sakura Japanese Restaurant with 20 QCKBF anglers!! Not only did we eat, we laughed, prayed, told stories, made fun of each other and chilled for 3 straight hours!!
