Splash Jacket Recommendation - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Last year, I kept a total of two fish, both small yellowtail. (I release almost everything). Assuming these fish were ten pounds each, with about 3 pounds of usable meat, I figure that my fishing license cost me about $7 a pound.

Of course, if you want to really calculate the cost of my fish, you would have to add in the new kayak, rods, reels, line, lures, and a host of other expenses. With those costs in mind, my several dinners cost me over $300 a pound, not including wine.

On the other hand, the satisfaction that this hobbie provides me is, as the commercial says... priceless.
