Lenguados grandes - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ojos_raros · 07-24-2013, 11:56 AM

The 40 lber was caught on live squid. I was drifting and didn't feel the bite but when the rod slowly began to load up, I knew either 1) I snagged the bottom or 2) I nailed a big flattie. As there was very little weed on the bottom, the adrenaline kicked in pretty quickly in anticipation and I quickly stashed the squid jig, wound down... and it loaded up beautifully. A slow, lazy run ensued and I knew right away this would be a personal best.

The 20 lber came ball bouncing on fresh dead - massive hit that took lots of line and pinned the rod in its holder for a bit. After I got it out, he was spent and came up pretty quick.

very nice. your neck of the woods (my old neck of the woods) has had some really nice fishing. My buddies from up there have had some great inshore stuff.

keep it up! and hopefully the squid keeps rebooting.
