2012 WSB - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

driftwood · 04-21-2012, 08:49 AM

Well, what kind of bird am I? Okay, I'll play along.

I'm an ostrich. Spending most of my time with my head buried in the sand wondering, "If God gave me wings, why, oh why can't I fly?"

But if I just keep telling myself "I think I can fly, I think i can, i think i can, i think i can!!!!" And if you say it enough times, sooner or later you end up believing it.

And guess what? I guess I can!!

They say threre's gold at the end of each rainbow. I'll be happy with just one big WSB today.

Since the word is out, and the WSB are here, I figured it is safe to post this now.

I don't know what kind of camera Yani uses, but he is good at it.
Thank you Yani!!

Nice haul!

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of bird I am.

wham bam

lterrero · 04-21-2012, 02:04 PM

WTG Gabriel!!! but I don't see no bird, only a nice WSB? have Yani check his camera!

Whizz Bang · 04-21-2012, 02:40 PM

I want the reflection off the water from the one picture, with the placement and greater scope of the other picture. The crux of it is that both are frame-worthy. Well done. It looks like it was a perfect day out there, on many levels.

Wait a sec, Yani was out there? Can you please give him like, I dont know, 2 lbs of fillets or palatable offal so that we can see another killer greek recipe (I want that amazing block feta in this one)?????

blitzburgh · 04-21-2012, 03:09 PM

F-N-A!!!!!!

SquidJig · 04-21-2012, 03:30 PM

Congrats on the scale-buster. And the great weather. I can't remember when I last saw blue skies over LJ.

eertkao · 04-21-2012, 03:39 PM

Congrats on the WSB!

walrus · 04-21-2012, 04:51 PM

You think you can, you think you can, and you did.

Congrats, great fish.

Eric i did. I gave him more than two pounds. And in return, he promised to post a dinner picture..

Tman · 04-21-2012, 09:59 PM

Great retort, er, report.

Nice

and incredible pics. Who knew someone that talented with a camera had other tricks up his sleeve, or vice versa?

As Yani said, thanks for sharing...

StinkyMatt · 04-21-2012, 10:41 PM

Fly little bird, fly......

You look like a proud hawk or an eagle with that in your talons!

Rambo · 04-22-2012, 06:04 AM

Congrats on that nice WSB. Aren't your afraid of tipping over while holding that monster WSB on the PA? Is it really that stable? I'm holding off on my purchase but from all the pictures I seen and video makes me think you must really try hard in order to flip the PA.
