2012 Washington Tuna Classic Info Thread

[WaveDancer]

Hey everybody,

It's that time of the year to start thinking about tuna and before you know it the Albacore will be swimming off of our coast. (less than two months now if they are on time this year)

With that in mind, I have started this thread to keep everyone updated as to the teams that are going to be fishing in this years event along with some other information about our event.

In case you are unfamiliar with the Washington Tuna Classic, we are a 100% volunteer registered 501(c)3 non-profit charity that collects albacore tuna from our competing teams and turns them over to Northwest Harvest, a local food-bank, to give out throughout Western Washington, and we also use cash we raise to take Wounded Warriors fishing during our event week.

2012 will be our 4th event and to date we have donated over 14,000 pounds of sushi grade albacore tuna to NW Harvest and have provided over 100 fishing trips to Wounded Warriors.

We also run a dry goods food drive for the local Grays Harbor Food Bank as well during the event weekend.

Being a 100% volunteer organization we can always use more help and this year is no different.

This year we are in need of the following if you have the skills and some time to spend in Westport August 10-11, 2012:

Photographer's and Video Camera Operators. You need to have your own, modern equipment along with the skills and knowledge how to use it in a professional capacity.

Multimedia Operators. You need to be very computer literate, know how to use and operate Power Point, download, edit and organize still photographs and video files for use in multimedia displays during the event weekend.

We also need some strong backs for the basic grunt work on the event day of Saturday, August 11.

If you have any desire to help or have any other questions, please send me a PM here or contact us through our website using the "Contact Info' button on the right side menu.

Now on to the the starting lineup for the 2012 WTC:
