Lost my viginiT...5/28 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The Parker wouldn't happen to be a 23ft. pilot house called "Anita B" would it ?

Because those guys just bought that boat last week and damn near totaled it not 2 seconds after it floated off the trailer.

Stay away from the boaters they're no help -
unless its one of those kayak fisherman/skiff owners like me.

Nah, different boat. I wouldn't disclose the boat name anyways...they made the run over to help and didn't need to and I was thankful for that. They just blew getting the fish in the boat. It happens. I'm heating up soup right now though rather than filling my belly with T steaks and that sucks

don't worry, it doesn't sound like you where targeting T's anyway, so it's just by-catch....the thing that would bother me is spending an hour or so playing with a shark while on prime fishing grounds. and from what i hear, that hour fight would only be the start of a multi hour ordeal paddling that thing in, bleeding, cleaning, packing, then cleaning up all the blood and guts all over your truck gear and driveway...no thanks!! YT are so much more fun!!!

Keep your eyes on the prize!!!!

You're telling me! Birds were just pounding the area and I was just pulling up when this ordeal started. They were gone by the time it was done. As it was I still didn't get to the launch until 9 p.m..

And you're 100% right on the by-catch and the ordeal afterwards. I wasn't too bummed...But thresher just tastes so good!

The 200 is just a rough estimate by me and the guys on the boat. I guess a rougher but more reasonable guesstimate would be just to say that this was DEFINITELY NOT a pup and that it was a quick and super easy decision for me to make that the fish was wayyyyyyy too big for me to handle on my own.
