Congratulations! Every fish you learn something new... the first fish you learn about 100 new things.

I'm guessing by now you have realized that your cooler is way too small.

You just gotta go out there a try. I'm a Marine stationed out here and have never been offshore Kayak fishing before. To be honest I really didn't have a clue what I was doing. I just watched a bunch of YouTube videos and went from there. I caught some bait, (don't even have a bait tank yet, put them in a laundry bag hanging off the side) hooked one up and thew it over the side. I forgot my battery to my fishfinder, so I just kinda followed other Kayaks out there. I was crusing along trying to catch more bait with another rod with a Sabiki and WAM! I was in shock it happened so quick. Fought for a good 15 - 20 minutes. Can't wait to go back when I have the chance.

haha I want to say beginners luck, but you obviously did some research and were doing everything right in order to catch that fish!

Great work, all the hard work and perseverance pays off!!

Oh yea... THANKS FOR SERVING OUR COUNTRY!!

Haha absoutley! One of my next purchases is going to be a big catch bag. I literally had to carry it in my arms like a drunk friend from the bar on the way back. Thank god I bought a Hobie
