Not on kayak but had to tell someone

Just bought a 8" spro bbz1 in the rainbow trout color and wanted to get a feel for the action. Never used a swim bait bigger than 4" before so this is quite the leap for me. First cast, a hawk swoops down and snatches it, I drag him in and before I could take a pic he let go and all I have now is his feather. Bait is intact but missing some paint
Pissed off I just start tossing the bait every which direction and eventually pulled in this after about an hour. Smile ear to ear the rest of the day
Wasn't supposed to fish today so ssshhhhhh

I always wonder how many of the larger rainbow lures and plastics and have been victim to flying predators, seems like it'd be a regular occurrence. Great catch though, both the bird and the bass!

That's a beaut right there. I was at mile square Park throwing an 8" Tylure trout and in one cast I had 2 cormorants and a pelican dive on it.

Nice bucketmouth! The baits these days are so damn life-like. A week or so ago on "Stoked on Fishing", they were skiff fishing Cedros. One of the guys (I think it was the Capt') thew out a hookless MC Swimbait and got a Raptor to swoop and grab it. Too cool!

Anyways sorry buddha that's a south county secret.

If it's a secret you shouldn't post my friend/coworkers apartment balcony in your pics.

There aren't many lakes with houses or apartments on them. Then you go and narrow it to south county. It's safe with me.

Haha do you really know where it is? I've been putting bass in there for a while now and am glad to see that some are thriving

I have been living in south county for over 20 years. Not many lakes with houses for sure pretty easy secret if you ask me.

Its definitely not a secret place but I don't like to put it up cause I'm trying to build something here and don't want it to be fished dry. I already lost the catfish pop that I put in there and I don't want the bass gone too
