LJ 7/27/14 25lb YT - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Been back at it again for awhile, and today finally paid off. Julie was the victor.

Launch before 6AM, and made an even mix of bait, about 18 each.

After "Riding the storm out" the weather improved greatly. We saw lightening hit the water 3 times, 3 episodes of rain, and each was far worse than the previous.

Pretty beat by now, we started the last efforts towards the launch.
About 11:45 Julie's bit nicely. Fish kelps her quickly. But, she works at it for 30 minutes or more. Up comes the biggest clump of kelp we've experienced. We can't even see the fish, but assume it's in there. Aaron grabs the leader, reaches in, and finds it's mouth. One re-grip later in the gills he pulls up Julie's 25lber.

Our motto pays off, "Never say die".

Fish on ice, to be filleted tomorrow, Hamachi soon after.
