YFT on the Yak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

roto · 11-07-2006, 07:33 PM

Just got back from my property down in Baja (Scorp Bay).
Launched my Hobie Adventure thru chest high surf and headed out to find some blue water.
At about 4-5 miles out I got busy starting with several Sierra, then some small Yellowtail and finally a Yellowfin.
Kept one Sierra for ceviche (unbeatable) and the YFT for sashimi.
Everytime I hooked up the rest of the school of whatever I was fighting would hang right under my kayak. Almost could have free gaffed 'em.
Contemplated going for a double hookup when the tuna were free swimming around but didn't want to risk losing numero uno since I hadn't caught one on the yak yet. I had him on a Calcutta with 15# and my other rig was only 10#....
When I stuck him with my gaff all hell broke loose. There wasn't one inch of me or my kayak without blood splattered on.
I put him in my kill bag and then in my tackle station behind me. When he started doing the tuna death beat it was so hard it was like I had an out-of-control massage chair self-destructing....
What fun!

Trying to figure out how to post an image...help...
