YFT at 181 from Kayak
Jack from De-Fishing Soap invited me out on his boat to see
if we could hook up on some YFT. We headed out to the 181 and found a nice sized paddy along the way. Hooked and landed my first YFT from the boat, then got on the kayak as Jack hooked up. He handed me my rod so I could fight the fish from the yak and I landed that (pics below). I wasn't really satisfied, so I flylined a dine and paddled my kayak around the paddy. I got hooked up and fought the fish for some time. Many up and downs. Very cool. I got the fish to color and just as I was going to gaff it, the line broke. I made the mistake of using my LJ rig and had fluoro on top of spectra, so there was no give. The drag was buttoned way down to keep the fish at bay. Live and learn. My first YFT and almost my first hooked and landed from the yak.
