East Oregonian Page 3B SPORTS GUIDES: Angler finds path to guide service with tournament fishing success Saturday, July 14, 2018 Continued from 1B Now that Gabriel’s teach- ing will move from the classroom to strictly the river, he’s looking forward to growing the business, which has hosted clients from as far as Montana. What attracts even expe- rienced anglers is the abun- dance of walleye and the opportunity to even catch salmon, steelhead and stur- geon, but even with the increasing number of guides — experience and knowl- edge show on the river. “The fish just aren’t from bank to bank,” Gabriel said. “They are in real specific spots and sometimes it’s just a matter of 10 or 15, 20 feet — moving one way or the other makes all the difference.” Gabriel is very familiar with the Columbia River. Even before making Eastern Oregon his home, him and his father would make the nearly 200 mile round trip to the 1,243 mile long river. Staff photo by E.J. Harris Fishing guide Kimo Gabriel wipes down his boat after returning from a fishing trip Wednesday in Boardman. Gabriel’s earliest memo- ries where fishing for cat- fish on the weekend, but his dad remembers another time when Gabriel was just three years old. REPORTER: Football state championship highlights the past year Continued from 1B row counties. The memories, friends and experiences I have made and had in Hermiston will stay with me forever. It was here where I was reminded day in and day out why I chose this crazy career. I smiled as teams, athletes and coaches hoisted trophies and celebrated champion- ships and I was heartbroken when local teams came up just short of the postseason. Throughout both coun- ties, I was continually impressed with the talent and grit every single student possessed and, as some- one who didn’t play sports in high school, I was also constantly amazed by how much athleticism was on display. Each game on differ- ent fields and inside differ- ent gyms, I was welcomed by kind coaches and tal- ented athletes. I hope I did your stories justice, and I hope that whoever comes next will find the same joy I did in a city “where life is sweet.” ——— Alexis Mansanarez has been a sports reporter for the East Oregonian and Herm- iston Herald since August 2017 and is leaving for a new job at the end of this week. She can be reached on Facebook (Alexis Man- sanarez), Twitter (@alman- sanarez) and Instagram (@ almansss). “It seems like every time I talk with my dad, he brings it up,” he said. “My dad is 96 and he likes to reminisce about fishing. He keeps reminding me that when I was about three years old, we were fishing below the Wickiup Reservoir over in Central Oregon and he says that he put some kind of bait on the line for me, I threw it out — and he was fishing his own line — and said I started yelling to him, ‘Daddy, daddy, daddy,’ as a six-pound brown trout was dragging me into the river.” Now Gabriel commands the water, bringing in haul after haul with his clients. Each person is limited to 10 fish apiece, which is a limit that is often exceeded caus- ing anglers to release their catch. On Wednesday, the three- man crew reached their limit fairly early and decided to take the water to fulfill their allotted time. “It’s an eight-hour day unless people get to the point where they are like, ‘Man, this is too hot,’ which happens a lot, or they catch what I consider their limit and sometimes they are happy with that and want to come in,” Gabriel said. The early wake up call, around 6 or 7 a.m., is fol- lowed by a usually unpre- dictable day on the water. Gabriel always starts at the Boardman Marina and will continue down the river “until somethings happens,” as he says. “Sometimes it doesn’t happen until I get down to Crow Butte,” he added. “Today they were biting really well real close, we didn’t have to go anywhere really.” Location, current, water temperature and food are key in Gabriel keeping cli- ents happy, and at $200 a pop, they are mostly paying for the experience. “It’s getting real compet- itive and if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s going to show. It’s quite a learn- ing curve,” he said. “If you know what to look for in a current, you can find the fish, I think. Once you do it for so long it starts to become sec- ond nature but then again, I know what I’m looking for.” If interested in Gabri- els Guide service, he can be reached on his cell (541) 571-4343. ROUNDUP: Legion baseball back to winning ways Continued from 1B among the top two or three in the nation, for sure.” Thomas Mabbott shot a perfect 100 as Hermiston’s high gun, one of five kids nationally that shot 100 for the round. After Mab- bott, Kaden Smith shot 98, Case Hiatt 96, Blake Betz 95 and Tyson Stocker 95. Smith said that even on a national stage with 800 other competitors around them, the Hermiston boys didn’t really feel any nerves or pressure on Friday. “There’s been a couple of non-high school events in the last few weeks we encouraged the kids to go to for the feel of big com- petition,” Smith said. “These five took advantage of that and with 800 other kids, they handled it well. They’re focused.” Competition continues on Saturday with individual qualifying rounds on Satur- day where 1,440 competi- tors will shoot to make the cut to the top 400 that will compete for the individual championship on Sunday. Along with the five Herm- iston kids that competed in Friday’s team competition, Trevor Wilson will compete in individual tournament.. “Our goal is to qualify all six kids in the finals,” Smith said, “and they can all do it.” Hodgen Distributing snaps losing skid in Centralia The Hodgen Distribut- ing Legion baseball team snapped its seven-game los- ing skid on Friday, when it defeated Baden Elite Red the lead. Quinn Doherty was later hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Rudy Esparza hit a RBI single to cap the six-run frame. In the fourth inning, Cooper Roberts hit a RBI double to left field that scored Logan Weinke and then both Roberts and Cur- tis Simons would later score on errors to end the scoring. Esparza led the team with three hits in three at-bats. Hodgen Distributing dropped its two previous games at the tournament, losing 3-0 to Boys of Sum- mer (Redmond, Washing- ton) on Wednesday and 8-0 to City Showcase 18U (Seattle) on Thursday. The tournament is attended by scouts from at least 44 colleges from the Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College ranks. (Bellevue, Washington) 9-1 at the College Showcase Tournament in Centralia, Washington. Hodgen Distributing (19-15) got a strong pitch- ing performance from Ryan Stahl, as the soon-to-be Pendleton senior struck out five in a five-inning com- plete game while allowing only three walks, two hits and one run. Stahl had strong run support that produced six runs in the second inning and three runs in the fourth inning to back him up. In the second, Hodgen scored all of its runs with two outs. With two runners on, Mat- thew Demianew got things going with a RBI single and Ty Beers followed with a RBI double for a 2-0 lead. Then after Kyle Field was hit with a pitch, Chris Large hit a two-run sin- gle to center to add on to EAST'40OREGON marketplace Place classified ads online at www.eastFSOoregonmarketplace.com or call 1-800-962-2819 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
