Favorite Fish of 2007? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Catching my first WSB was awesome, especially since it went 49.8lbs. and
I was targeting WSB for several months before my first.

But, by far, my favorite catch was this 29lb. YT caught in Baja. I was
fishing Isla San Martin, saw a bird hover over a small boil. I casted an iron and
BAM! I was on. The fight that ensued was where the drama was. The fish
ran and headed for the only kelp within 20 miles and several times I thought
I lost him in the kelp. After a couple more runs and about 20 minutes,
he was finally in my yak.

By the way, the fish was caught in a kayak. This shot was taken once
we got the yaks back to Kelly's boat (of K&M fishing in San Quintin).
