Hobie Guys - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

There is no room for storage on these yaks. When you catch a decent fish, where do you like to put it?

I prefer my lap

Reel Anxious · 07-04-2011, 08:57 AM

Holy Halibut Batman, what a catch. Beautiful fish. I guess you paddled back in?

bigbarrels · 07-04-2011, 09:07 AM

nice! Four freakin feet

I was just wondering the same thing......it is a pain in the arse to put the fish on the back of a revo.....on the lap impedes the pedaling......on the front would require more bungee if wanting to strap it down and would cause pearling coming in through the surf if end up on a wave

Congrats on the Hali. Have not gotten any fish that big, so it has not come to cross yet! Maybe next time....

buttchaser · 07-04-2011, 09:18 AM

Wow ! Beautiful fish SteveO

StinkyMatt · 07-04-2011, 09:34 AM

HOLY CRAP! MONSTER HALI!

That has to be at least 5 maybe 6 pounds....

Congratulations, I am inspired.

Phatford · 07-04-2011, 10:13 AM

I bet the hookup went something like this, "Ahhh Sh!t, I snagged the bottom...OH Wait a minute"

WOW!!!

I concur big time.

Wow! That's going to keep family and friends fed for a while!

mrJB · 07-04-2011, 11:14 AM

Steve -

That is the biggest kayak-caught halibut I've ever seen ...!

As an option for your next one, there's always bungees...

jorluivil · 07-04-2011, 12:51 PM

That's almost as long as mine

.........my WSB that is.

taggermike · 07-04-2011, 03:09 PM

Hali in the lap is like russian ruelet. You're never sure if thier dead and you have to choose the teeth or that big old powerful tail to be right near your junk. Mike
