First fish landed from a yak!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

micdmechanic · 08-12-2015, 04:46 PM

so went out with yesterday morning with a few cool guys. made bait without to much trouble. paddled out about 8 miles if i remember right, looking for the tuna and dodo. made our way back to about 4 miles, had a hook up with an 8 ft hammer head that harassed us from about the 1500 Ft mark

. somehow got away from him for a bit to land my first ever kayak fish.

16 lb yellow! totally hooked on this stuff now. what a ride it was and he wasn't my only fish but seals took the rest. much thanks to Patrick and Kevin for letting me tag along to deep water and helping with the fish.

On the coffee grinder to boot. Nice fish. There's no turning back now. You're doomed

Gongrats on your first kayak fish. Can't think of a better Kayak fish first or last. Good to see you got your kayak deck bloodied. I think that first picture should be your avatar. Tight Lines, Mark

Congrats again on your first catch bud! Had a great time out there with ya, almost 23 miles of pedaling and hours dealing with a frisky hammerhead will def makes a yt taste that much better. Props on a great looking fish!

Again congrats on your first fish buddy! We will have to go out again soon lets just hope our 8ft friend doesn't want to tag along he made fishing a little difficult.

Congratulations.
That's a hell of a first fish.
