LOOK MAW, TRIPLETS! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

bellcon · 07-19-2011, 08:22 AM

Just keeping with the theme...

Scallywag is right, sometimes...

"Catching cbass in the dark = EASY"

But WSB fishing after the sun goes down never fails to get the adrenaline flowing.

I normally hate a crowd, especially an anchored down crowd with hundreds of lines, balloons and attitudes on the water
but when you find a little zone and hook up on a big girl...
The cost of diesel, lack of sleep, anchor lines, clean up etc. etc. all seem pretty damn trivial...
.

My kind of crowd:
(Being 6'-4" and around 245lbs, there wasn't much Trident above the water this night)

Damn I love kayak fishing!
(some nights just a little more than others

)

Well there are a bunch of smilies that I can reply with so let me start off with this one....

then this one

Simply amazing catch and great looking fish too. The deck of your yak is a freakin' mess with all those fish on board and of course blood all over the place. Well done!

Ya Don!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NICE 1's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

erinoo · 07-19-2011, 09:53 AM

That was a good night Donald..

dpshim · 07-19-2011, 10:57 AM

Don, that is very very impressive!!! You're so correct, all our pet peeves become trivial when one has an outing like yours. So stoked for ya my brother! Again, thanks for the warm welcome and I look forward to fish with ya brother

StinkyMatt · 07-19-2011, 11:47 AM

Congrats on your adventure!

Get a BIGGER kayak!

When I caught my twins I didn't try for numero tres because I was already having trouble strapping two of them down. I've been spoiled by the Mirage Drive and never considered removing it and strapping those boys down in the center of the yak.

WOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

JoeBeck · 07-22-2011, 10:04 AM

Looks like a fun night Don!!!

. Good job once again locating the fish! I unfortunately haven't got to fish off the yak since Mexico. Did have a fun weekend fishing from a boat in North Cal for salmon and halibut a few weekends ago visiting fam. Probably could squeeze a night trip in although with all the tequilla I might get lost out there

lbsurf2ca · 07-22-2011, 02:32 PM

I hate admitting this but yours are all bigger then mine. Well done!

THE DARKHORSE · 07-31-2011, 05:24 PM

Way to keep your eyes on the prize, Don. I hate when each fish keeps getting bigger than the last, too.

If you guys have never stood on the beach next to Don...well, he's freakin' huge. I'm talking Lobster cracking hands!

So, being that his big one looks to be a solid fifty...in his hands mind you...it must have been sixty plus! That's a trophy to be proud of, bro.

Now post up that damn Yellowtail!

Incredible catch...congradulations....maybe next time a release or two.
I know....my avatar with 3 YT....that was 4 yrs. ago and I've since started releasing.....WSB seem to have more soul especially when they croak to you.

Cool. Everybody ought to go out and kill three! I like to have a year's worth of fish in the freezer at all times. Give me a break.

Really?

This is getting fookin old...maybe he has a family with kids to provide for, that just happen to like fresh, non-store bought fish.

Gee, what a concept...

Do yourself a favor...do not comment on any of my catches.

We enjoy fresh fish immensely, it does not last long in our freezer, certainly not more than a couple weeks, and any comment you make will be disregarded, esp when you make a

comment of how long WSB lasts in someone's freezer.

A year? Did you not pass the ID10T test?
