Dana 3/25 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

No swell, little wind=beautiful day to paddle and no fish

Well, one to break the skunk and add to the Crankman. Sand bastard on the Rapala...released of course.

On the way in, I stopped in front of the jetty at the harbor mouth to bring up my BB rig so not to get it caught on the bottom and the swimbait on my bass rod gets ROCKED! Drag on my Curado 300 was tight and screaming like a freight train. My Teramar TMCX76M was bent so far over in the rod holder I couldn't get it out until the fish let up a bit. Pulled on the sea monster for a few seconds until the hook pulled...

Everything was intact but the hook on the leadhead was reshaped just a bit (the left one in the pic below is from the unused twin in the pack) 2oz, 5/0 hook

Just another day OTW....
