Feces in yak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJones · 07-02-2015, 08:05 AM

Anyone stick a yellowtail in the hull of a kayak , only to have the victim crap postmortem? This is not the first time I have had a yellowtail crap on me. Maybe I should have kept him on deck for a little bit prior to sticking him in the hull? What came out of the fish was a concoction of red crab and mackerel, brewing in the summer sun on the way home during the peak hours of LA traffic. The traffic was not as bad as anticipated, maybe because I took a few pits stops such as nap and a dinner break. Yes it still took 4 hours to get home. The fish of course were put in a cooler with ice for the journey home . What a surprise awaiting me when I went to partially clean equipment this morning . This is the first time I stuck a fish in the hull of a hobie , let alone close to 50 lbs of yellows squirting their guts out. Would I do it again ? Yes , because the fish are well protected from the elements given I did not bring a burlap sack, let alone the dogs grabbing your price which is what really worries me after hearing some of the horror stories that have taken place . Maybe this is just my way of breaking the skunk on the new yak ? And yes I have been in a dry spell. Maybe it is because Chuck took all of my Ju Ju with my 2014? Thanks Chuck.

. Congrats again. Anyone else want to share on similar experience feel free to join in .

Bring a couple of 44 gallon heavy duty trash bags. Then you will have it in the bag and not the yak.

And the original king of LJ regains his crown!

How many yellows are in 50 pounds?

1? 2? 3? 4? 5?

Ya know, there's something delightfully if unintentionally ironic when Phil mentions large plastic bags.

Considering his avatar.

My alley smells like a sewer, don't get excited guys. This was a learning experience . I should have flushed it out at sea when i saw it. A little clean salt water , no harm no foul. 24 lb and 25 lb on the digital scale after being bleed out . Tight lines everyone . Like mentioned in previous fish report, not wide open by any means . Just a good day of catching for me and few lucky kayakers .

I had an emergency while fishing LJ and took a crap inside my kayak hull.
That was a messy clean up

I'll never do that again!!!!!

So, that's why you keep staring at me with that crooked smile

Couple cups of bleach mixed with half a kayak full of water . Hopefully my guide lines don't pop 3 miles from shore .
