Me today... Chargers tomorrow! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ratdog · 12-27-2008, 04:03 PM

Very cold and windy this morning, caught this on

28lb 15 oz on the official OEX Pt Loma scale ( thanks guys)
43" at the fork. Initally thought I had a "T" glad I was wrong. Missed something earlier that was much bigger and stronger, but never got close enough to see it. Only saw 4 kayaks out this am and 3 pbers. I wonder why!

What, no waders for Christmas?

Looks cold, but I'm sure you still broke a sweat fighting that bad boy

Holy Mackerel · 12-27-2008, 04:18 PM

Nice job! I was out this morning, cold out, but layers, and being well above the water really helps... nada for me, but good to see a nice yellow taken. FWIW water temp 55.6º

GO BOLTS!

Josh, you must be telepathic! I scored on Christmas cashola, and I have done allot of research on the waders, but I keep thinking what if I fall in? I want to have a wetsuit on rather than the nice warm waders. Am I nuts!
OH yea, its burning in my pocket too.

THE DARKHORSE · 12-27-2008, 04:48 PM

But, you are completely nuts for not making the switch...especially if you scored on Christmas ca$hola

. The last thing I want to do is threadjack your post about this impressive fish, but spend the $100 on some "Hodgman Wadelite", thank me later
