Thresher Catch & (Assist) & Release & YT Kill... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

wade · 02-07-2010, 01:46 PM

Went out last week, and I was thankful enough to be given the last few minutes of Josh's thresher shark fight for him to get his pliers and gear ready for the release!..Thanks again man that was a blast!!..
Then it seemed only 30 minutes passed by and pow! My new iron gets slammed..Zzzzzzzzzzzz.....it better not be a damn shark finishing off the 2 pounds of resistance my sealine 40 still has left...Zzzzzzzz. Zzz.zz Z ...Shake...Shake...Shake..NOPE! Clearly a YELLER!!!! Not a giant, but on my bs set up it felt like she was fourty, even though she only went twenty nine • fourty one to fork. 3/4 into the fight I noticed big marks under me..not the fat bastard but close enough..I was able to horse it up but not without an attempt at my dinner..You can notice a small mark from the thieving dog..right after i boat it, the dog circles me and surfaces as I laugh at him!!

...not this time...
Dr. Yani was so kind enough to take a few minute break from his surgon duties to take the otw shots!...i cant thank u enough man!!

i really appreciate it when guys are so cool to stop ANYTHING to assist in a small request..Im eternally grateful also to Gabe for videoing that 09 yellow release for me!!!HAMACHI KAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The DFG might want to step in before yo-yo irons become extinct. I've been doing my best, but some irons just seem to have a death wish

. And those long tailed swimming magnets are pretty crafty, too.

Yani has some skills behind the lens. I love the tennis ball hue in the fish's tail, beautiful shot.

And way to go, Wade...enjoy your time being WCW numero uno!

Nice one Wade!

Well done!
Good choice for the music too, I think we'd get along just fine.

Grats on Mr. T swimmin away, and the Fat yeller for your reward.

Wade, that was one rockin' afternoon. That's a
sweet "my biggest" yellowtail so far. Kick butt
on the Whopper circuit!

I'm stoked I spent some time with you and Josh on the water.
Although I didn't hook up, I learned several nusiance
tricks. Sometimes that's all I need, knowing I'll do better
next time.

Josh, nice release on the thresher

. My surgical team
will just have to wait...
