9/8/15 one bait -- one fish...

[Geno Machino]

Bait was pretty scares today. Made a couple of bonito first thing. However, they where a tad bit big to put on the hook. Kept one for cut up bait for my sabiki. So, after a while of nothing but nothing, I cut up the bonito, put some on my hooks and slow trolled by the kelp-line. Caught one descent greenie and decided to put it on a hook and start trolling for a game fish.

Went outside into deeper water towards the west. All of a sudden my bait starts to get nervous and I'm waiting for a whamo...well I got a whamo alright, a 6-7ft hammerhead rams my yak. Could'nt tell what it was at first, until I look over and see him/her inches from my lap. Then all of a sudden it turns a circle and whamo - it slams the back of my kayak again. Later I say to this and turn tail back towards the kelp-line and a couple of other yakers, as I reel in my only bait for safe keeping.

I get inside a bit and toss out my bait again and as I was cruising along - I got bit . I knew it was a smaller fish but then the fun begins when a dog joined the party.

Anyways, I was going to release this pup, however the dog would of ate it, so I took it home and BBQ fish tacos is whats for dinner.

First trip in my new Revo 13 (from Andy) thanks bro!

In by 9:30. Been trying to upload my first go pro video, all day. We'll see how it turns out.

Tight Lines,

Geno

I kept telling myself...hell no, I'm not listening to that entire dumb ass song, lol. Way to stay with it you Machine! Jim

[Harry Hill]

nice video, nothing wrong with it ending with fish tacos

[parkermann]

I bet if you threw an M-80 in the water the deal would have took off

[summers in kuwait]

Nice post. Way to beat out that dog!

[GregAndrew]

Well played, nice ending!

[skrilla]

Alert the media. That is one aggresive animal. I'm glad to see you survived your ordeal.

...well, I generally like the Rolling Stones but admit this is not my favorite song from them. In any case there are a lot of kayak fishing videos out there with some horrendous music. Perhaps I'm just jealous having no videos.....ahhh....anyway....

Geno...there are may ways to end a fine fishing day. Some are CPR and some are tacos! You are within acceptable parameters! Oh and watch that tangential fight on the Revo! I have gone over the side off my Outback and it's wider....that was along time ago with some serious high-drag and a bit of swell on a first run. Great work in any case!

Hell yeah! Nice save! I love happy endings

By the way, fumbling with those toe straps on your pedals look like a PITA. I ditched mine and never looked back. No loss of performance. So much easier to launch, land, balance, etc.

[Harry Hill]

it looked like your crocs were getting in your way

[Geno Machino]

Yepper. I have to modify something with the foot positions for sure. That was a shake down cruise. No ff, no rod holder. Got to figure out a few things.

Nice dogfight. Hot stuff!

There you go Geno!! Geno 1 Dog 0...nice video, I'm really thinking about getting sling shot..you know "to use only when they are trying to tip me over" never when they are chasing my bait or fish ..heavy sarcasm

[blitzburgh]

Nice work!

[Pinhead]

Great dog fight !

...too bad you didn't have a can of OFF to spray on that Lion's mug
