Not in a Kayak, but holy Big Fish Florida!
Team Sea Level headed out for our first day of fishing the big hammer challenge (month long event). unfortunately our fish didn't count this time due to not having the secret item in the pics... and the fact our entry fee made it only an hour before we left and didn't verify we were good to go. :lol:
anyways. i hit up navarre pier and caught two spanish macks (my first) and helped a guy gaff a ray he snagged and he gave it to me. scored a cobia head and grouper carcass as well. bait was made. 8) hit the beach and set out the cobia head around 400yards at 5pm. also set out a big chunk of ray about 200yards. soon after dark it went off and hannah was hanging on to the biggest fish of her life. only to come unbuttoned after about 40 seconds... :cry: i cut up the spanish macks and threw them out in the first gut. everything liked them. thats a 36" slot tape [/quote] got three sharpnose as well a storm rolled in around 2am and we tried bunkering down only to end up sitting in the cars staring at our rods 80yards away. a few trips back and forth to check on gear and i was hooked up. Landed this guy at 5am 8ft tip to tip. still a juvenile we'll be giving it our all next weekend.

Love reading your posts. Detailed, lots of photos and there are always HUGE fish in them.
Made myself a promise to do the beach fishing thing this summer. Sit in a comfy chair. Cold beverage. No kayak to wash. |

chris how do you get a bait out 400 yds? More importantly how do you get a bait out 400 yds without having the eerie feeling that a bigger tiger/bull is near by as your getting it out
