#Winning! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

steveooo · 01-06-2012, 02:48 PM

So a few buds and I made a silly bet late last year. We found the " Instant Fisherman" on sale, 2 for $20. Biggest fish on it in 2012 wins.

You may have seen the infomercial

When we all got them, it was unbelievable how much of a POS these things were. Still, I was the one to the first fish on it, a bluegill that I had to handline in because the gears seized up. The only other guys that have attempted to use them have only lost lures, as the line snapped when they casted. I'm not sure what they were using in the commercial, because it was NOT the instant fisherman.

I get the idea that I needed to 30lb power pro on mine, and decide that I am going to own this silly little bet and get a real game fish on it. Went to the land of giants, and hooked up big time.

Here is the vid of some of the action, Enjoy. Thank You Instant Fisherman!

I think it was just a Sealion too afraid to go out and play with the Orcas

LMAO!!!!!

Aaron&Julie · 01-06-2012, 05:28 PM

LOL! I guess you get what you pay for with those.
I would have loved to see the fish better, I was thinking leopard, but I thought I saw the flat kind during the video, unless it was a kelp patch.

coxtanker421 · 01-06-2012, 05:31 PM

how much did you pay for that piece of sillyness?

YakMedic · 01-06-2012, 05:36 PM

Made my day awesome, thanks Steveooo

Holy Mackerel · 01-06-2012, 05:39 PM

sdfisher · 01-06-2012, 05:41 PM
