5th Annual Alaska Yak Classic video

[Kardinal_84]

Well it's been a while since I posted last. Its been a cold spring with weather keeping us off the water more than we would like up here in Alaska.

But on June 24the, we got lucky on a crazy beautiful day and held our 5th annual Alaska Yak Classic derby for halibut. Turnout was great with nearly 40 kayakers showing up to fish!

With huge tides (27.5 VERTICAL feet difference between high and low) the fishing was tough with some raging currents. We did manage some quality fish though.

The winner was 69lbs 9oz. I got lucky and finished 2nd with a 68lbs 13oz fish.

Here's a video of the day. It's a little longer than normal. Its mainly me fighting the 2nd place fish.

Got to fly my new DJI Spark Drone for a little footage at the beginning and end. Not bad for the cheapest drone DJI makes. Also a big thanks to my daughter for the DSLR shots and my son Ryu for contributing some footage with his Gopro mounted on a YakAttack Broomstick.

Thanks as always for letting me post here!! It definitely looks better on HD then what seems like the default 360.
