8 YEARS IN THE MAKING PART II OOOH HAPPY DAYS!!!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jorluivil · 07-31-2017, 08:29 PM

so, I don't know if you recall my report last week about some fish dope that I got from some guy that knows some guy who's sister works with a guy that knows a guy that fishes on a kayak. Well, today I will not be thanking the guy that knows some guy who's sister works with a guy that knows a guy that fishes on a kayak. However, I will be thanking for myself for putting in a 7.5 hour shift on the water after only 4hrs of sleep.

Sequence of events:
1. It's just after 1200 and I've been on the water since just before 5am
2. I have my last two live baits in the water
3. Rod on the right gets hit by the right kind just the wrong size
4. I snap a photo of the little fella and toss him back
5. I cut my sinker off of that rod and put it away, just about ready to call it a day
6. The rod on the left has a small shake, goes limp and has another shake
7. Since the line is drifting under my kayak I pull it out of the Orca and hold it out on my right side
8. rod shakes, shakes a little harder, loads up and the line starts screaming off the reel
9. I fight the fish for 5 min on a light-medium action Teramar rod, it made 4 runs and each time I prayed that it wouldn't bust off. To be quite honest I was really praying for a halibut but I'll take what I get

Hey Jorge I think you found the secret. Just only get 4 hours of sleep every time you go out. Congrats on the really nice WSB and the personal best.

Druko · 08-01-2017, 10:45 AM

With what you got? I'll be waiting with open arms. Well done . Well done.

TheBentRod · 08-02-2017, 07:53 AM

Congrats! I still don't have the patience for Halibut or WSB. I guess that is why I am not catching any.

This Adult Onset ADD is killing my fish mojo for these babies!

IN2DEEP · 08-02-2017, 07:57 PM

The drought is over for you... so it seems

blitzburgh · 08-02-2017, 11:03 PM

What a fish! Congrats!

uacanoekayak · 08-03-2017, 02:43 AM

Awesome catch man, well done!

Chuck D · 08-03-2017, 06:49 AM

Nice Tuna Jorge!

Dirty Curti · 08-03-2017, 08:28 AM
