My first WSB of the year - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

sharonkayak · 03-31-2011, 02:27 PM

After months of weekly fishing in LJ it finally pays off. I was pretty much in shock when I got this baby on the boat. I think my friend said my lip was shaking. It had been way to long without a good fight or bite.

I had been trying to catch a rock fish all day. I had finally given up, and was trying for something bigger. I ended up hooking up within 5 minutes. Luck and maybe some skill.. I was under some pressure since my friend caught a nice thresher that morning. both were released.

just kidding, kept the wsb.

46 lbs.. oh and sorry a bit late. caught 3/23/2011 10 am.

Well done! Nice fish....Time on the water pays off sooner or later.

Sure beats catching a rock fish

. Nice WSB!

StinkyMatt · 03-31-2011, 02:49 PM

One heck of a rock fish!

Mine always look like a sculpin!

Congratulations!

Awesome. Pass the

(luck) this way.

That thing is a pig!!! You are such a badass sharon! I especially love the dangling mack. Bet your friend who caught the thresher was just as excited for you! ;-)

Pete no love this morning? Good to see you out there... I guess T-sharks are better than nothing. Epic conditions.

DESTROYER · 03-31-2011, 03:06 PM

Awesome Pictures. Love the Mac hanging out!

Congratulations, Sharon. No need to apologize for the late post. I remember that day very well. I was sitting in a meeting thinking about the beautiful weather, and wishing I would be on my kayak. Your post gives me the motivation I need to stop wishing and just go fishing.

i think I was more stoked for you guys on the beach than you were, was wondering when this picture was going to surface. That thing was a beast..

Hey Chris, good to see you. No love today. Unlike Sharon, all I got to pull on was a thresher. I figure its just gets me in shape for my 1st WSB this season.

wiredantz · 03-31-2011, 04:12 PM

That fish would look alot better in my hands!

Congratz. so jealous

old_rookie · 03-31-2011, 04:12 PM

Those pics are great! That fish really helps. Yeah, the mac in the background is great. Hard to believe you are sitting in the ocean.

da22y · 03-31-2011, 04:28 PM

Who needs fishfinder , GPS , mirage drive etc...

I have all of those, and can't catch WSB this big !

Congratulation !

Kaijuu · 03-31-2011, 04:31 PM

Looks like you had a better day than the one a couple weeks ago when I met you and Steve. I guess I'll have to visit you sometime soon. Nice fish.
