water is a given, I always use soaked burlap sacks on my fish, think that will work?

I have a 65"x20" game bag. On the trip I did 22+\- miles I had two 15-20lb king macs, several 3-7lb Spanish macs a cobia and small sharks frozen water bottles kept them cool for then 12-13hour trip.

Has this been done before from Cali? I realize some of you have caught YFT from a kayak, but it's always been a mothership thing right? You could be in a very elite group if you pull this off Chris.

Unless Iceman Andy is out today trying to steal my thunder.

My safety list is as follows:

Submersible VHF
GPS
PFD
Air Horn
Storm Whistle
Waterproof LED blinky lights to put on my jigstick
Glow sticks
Big ass knife

Not gonna worry about how to keep fish cold. Focusing on not getting run over by one of the smokers

I cannot wait to read how this turns out!!!!

It got me thinking. I don't have a kayak, but I do paddle a 1-man outrigger canoe (OC-1) that I can average about 5-6 MPH on and have paddled 20 miles before. I know they do this kind of fishing in Hawaii. I can clamp a rod holder to the outriggers and troll even.

hmmmm ....
