Why Surface Irons?
http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/p...&pictureid=737
Why is fishing with surface irons so addicting? Is it the insane battle with a hard fighting fish on the end of a long rod? Is it the satisfaction of hooking up on a jig that you had to buy 10 other jigs just to find the greatest swimmer? For me it is none of that. For me, it is watching your quarry turn on your jig at the sight of its wild kick, and then the explosion of water hopefully following your anticipation. This is what I live for everyday in the pursuit for the next great adventure on the water. Now equipped with a GoPro, I am able to share with all of you the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of victory. I have been waiting a long time to be able to capture video of these excursions and now I am finally able to show you. It was the camera’s first day out and it’s only going to get better with more time. Now I know what I have been missing out on for the last year. The editing was a chore that’s for sure, but fun. So here you guys go! The greatest surface iron video clip ever. <iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iSMkF0vuMlM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Cool vid. Thanks for sharing. :jig:
|
Thoroughly enjoyed that from start to finish Kevin! Never a dull second.
And from the words of an old rock group (Eagles) "life in the Fastlane guaranteed to blow your mind" |
Nice catch, when you landed that fish I was worried you were gonna take a hook to the nuts for a second...:eek:
|
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I've never seen anyone get the strike on video before. Epic!!!!
|
you da man. .
Just like dry-fly fly fishing. . . Nothing beats the anticipantion and the visual of the fish making its move. . . . except for actually hooking the M'r F'r.
I think I'm all about the :jig: |
Like watching a surgeon ......
|
Nice video! I love seeing a YT boil on the iron.
|
Nice shooting. :yt:

Custom LB 100 cut 6" off the tip. Saltist BG 40H, 30 lb Izor first string. This rod is my light rod and is only meant to throw Tady C, A1 and similar weights. It is definitely not for the faint of heart.:sifone: |
beautiful wookwork in your backyard!!!
|
:)Wow. Great Video. Thanks for Sharing!!!!!!!:cheers1:
|
Kevin- Holy $hit...... That is "the' best video that has ever been posted on here. and probably the best Ive seen as far as a jig fish goes..
Well done man, well done...... That was the way a clip should be:cheers1: |
Cool stuff right there.....makes me all tingly.
|
sweet video. I actually ran accross this by accident on youtube earlier in the week,I thought I recognized that rod.:luxhello:
|
Definitely the best surface iron video ever made. Hope it goes viral!
Congratulations! |
:cheers1:
|
That video was sick!!! Had me yelling OH SHIT once the fish hit the iron. I look forward to seeing more.
|
getting the hookup on film was HOT! cool vid.

very Samurai :cheers1: |
what an awesome video! watching the hook-up is just incredible!:jig:
|
Nice video Kevin, I agree there is nothing more fun than the iron! Keep the videos coming, see you on the water!
|
Awesome video. The only thing that could make it better
1. Attach a go-pro to the iron to see the strike 2. Get discovery channel (air jaws) guys to do some helicopter aerial shots. haha! |
bad ass. :notworthy:
|
That's a beauty, congrats.
|
Sick! That strike on the grind got my adrenaline going. Better than caffeine to help wake me up.
Thanks for posting. |
Very good video. What are the odds - first time camera is out and you hook up with a YT!!
|
that's the shizzle!
nothing better than surface action! |
Would the newer hyper speed (7:1:1) of a saltist still be ok to throw the jigs or is that too fast for irons?
|
Nice fish, very cool video!
I guess there's no shortage of kayak fishing guides in LJ. :) Good luck Kevin |
