Old Man and the Sea

[SENTOR]

Dear Friends


I write this report for kayak fishing member in Israel Hanan Yishai



Now when I stood up for the afternoon rest and Csharad hands (effort) a little past me, but still feel


Every muscle in my shoulders and back, you can begin to tell the experience of experiences ...



Well meet in the morning in Tel Baruch. Solomon and I early before everyone chats a bit and then starts to get a respectable team that includes granola team in full, Sponge Bob, Ram (I have not seen recently and always fun to see him) Dawn Trabelsi and more.


Map to organize and enter the water quickly before he started getting heat ... Sea Swallow us with a gentle and pleasant breeze, indeed starting to sweat moisture but still pleasant.



Ophir loud and I'm starting to get beat deep reef rowing pace. When the plan to arrive early and cut back relatively soon before the start of the heat.



Are trying to point here a point where nothing nada ... huge! Try everything .. Jig, be sure there no movement


And not touching the truth all wrong all the time for wind and drift fishing nervous does not give easily.


Slowly gather all the reef including Isaac Gift of ffice:smarttags" />lace w:st="on">Readinglace> and the dryness that comes with everyone celebrates.



At each he was three of us decide to cut back and start down into the wind with Swallow


Back, the truth was a fun and fast paddling. Come to Tel Baruch and I suggest we stop riffs shallows might be something shallow. Surprisingly as it descends down the wind so shallow it almost completely falls.



Here I am taking a little story to be full .. Recently, I could not really catch something significant kayak. Or that perceptions of small loci, or that I had rips and smells (kind of shitty luck like that), or caught Abu blacksmithing them do have a remarkable success! And other dishes I had Bz'irzor ultra-light, the plates including hooks, Mrmirim, small loci of mullet were released but even all what it has done nothing demonstrates the empty refrigerator. Tel Aviv club have already started looking at me a look mixed with pity again nothing ever did you get the point ... how do you say this fish quest bonus.



Well after the introduction can go back to the point, cut short as we shallow, I think I realize what kind of boiling 200 meters away. I'm not really an eagle eye (to say the least), looks again and sees nothing, and sure, and these wind waves Swans, continues a little longer to try Mirrorglass others. Ophir Warm a little away from me and I realize once again boiling .. This time it's real and I'm sure what I see. I hurry up and shout Ofir them and they tell me they saw and each time they approach the boiling away.



I decide to go Ltroling, since I have only rods Troling gigabyte, I dress at the red headed doll she had flames off her recent successes down and begins to rise back to the boil. Some 30-40 meters off thread, closes the spectrum gives a few strokes and locked in after half a minute. Gives Aokst nervous and shouts company I realized something.


The first few seconds the fish gives Pate and suddenly there is no tension on the string and I'm sure I fled again.



Continues to roll, and suddenly the thread starts running hysterically nervous and in a second and a half flying some 100-150 yards without stopping a second roller like a fast train at the end. I really felt humiliated just warming up. Here I mention I'm a light set which includes wire cloth 30 lbs and 30 lbs Market Leader. Will answer something not too heavy and I have to work with Paula quite open and regulate the tension with your finger to the thread does not tear. Shortened start Pate nervous, I rolled 10 feet fish takes 20 I roll some more fish takes longer. And starts to take me and kayak trip from here to there I pull it pulls the time she begins to go through half an hour already and no sign of fatigue from the fish on the contrary, he gives occasional butting nervous and takes a string quantities and again, the truth, I roll my name I'm getting tired.



Hands begin to ache and I replace the left hand right hand occasionally, the back began to ache and I start thinking what do I really alone Ophir and loud enough from me and I begin to increase pressure on the fish. Here's where I get to where he was under the kayak and see it first time and recognizes Palmyra From up 3-4 pounds but what she was doing me rounds under the kayak and did not want to go. Suddenly in the distance I see a whole is down shouts and hand signals with me and hope to come see me. The truth at this point they had 40 minutes and I'm exhausted by the struggle Everything hurts.



Fortunately, Solomon sees and comes to me and I tell him I'm trying to get the fish and the water once it help me with. A few more minutes and the fish was also quite exhausted and costs more up then I recognize that beast! Solomon also sees the stunned animal and nano size!



Even a brief struggle and this time he has been at the kayak I try to stick Ganz and fish down again, again twice attempts finally I give him the Ganz back. Solomon comes to me trying to get him to kayak but can not. Animal really serious and more afraid not to stick us a bite from her head back and teeth actually cruel.



I take more than Solomon Ganz giving her too and she pulls our whole ... agility of a professional knife and stick her head offsets her and she stops struggling. No way she gets on my kayak and complete and I decide to get it on the flagship of the whole. Collaborative effort and is the kayak of the entire tail quickly binds her case and decide to fly at the beach. Solomon's kayak tilted on its side and we walk slowly to the beach.fficeffice" />>>


> >

Meet on the beach the Ophir and loud, Solomon makes us Bok images from all directions. The fish is on the beach attraction Lkiakistim and pier fishermen who come from every direction to see and be impressed.>>
> >
> >Then .. What to do,
It's getting hot and I'm afraid that the fish spoil. I decide to cut the fish into three four parts so that we can take him improvise a knife and I start to clean the fish and my effort Ophir Cut the fish into four pieces. Stomach he or she had two huge sacks of eggs transferred to another homage to Solomon dry and delicious preparation. Yummy ..

I decide to fold quickly and to refrigerate the fish to cut it into slices.

Finally - the experience was amazing, there is no such things .. Sport fishing at its best, set light, a giant fish. Fishing and fish, fight head to head to the end of the power of both!

Finally a huge thanks! Solomon for your help and support in raising Submit kayak fish the charming pictures and the video amazing

Thanks to Ophir and loud for the help on the beach - was a day of fun never to be forgotten>>

Pictures, not so much.

those wahoo's have crazy sharp teeth.

[RobFish]

Mazel Tov!
No kidding on the teeth! You'd learn really quick not to lip it like a bass.
Great fish. Pretty water color. Nicely rigged boat. Well done sir.

those wahoo's have crazy sharp teeth.

They do, but that's not one of them.
That is a Spanish Mackerel. A true Spanish. Let that be a lesson to all those that call our bait Spanish. Not even in the same family.
Thanks for the report!

[Hypoxic1]

Kinda hard to follow without getting lost in metaphors but....a terrific story. That hoo had to be an exciting fish to fight!!

[Hamachijohn]

Always nice to read reports from afar. thx for sharing.
The fish porn is always nice, and no translation needed.

[StinkyMatt]

Ear to Ear smile.....translates really well from ANY language!

Congratulations on an incredible fish.

General translation (especially for Kurt):

"Oye Vey, my friend! What a fish! What luck!


If I remember correctly, once there were "fish of another sort" at Tel Baruch (you'd know what I mean if familiar w/ the area), and glad to learn that there's still something good in the area's water."

Yours is the second great kayak fishing tale from Israel, w/ the last being from Menash and about the huge amberjack he caught off one of the wrecks down south. Since its been awhile, your report may be the first time many of the folks out here (Pacific West Coast) get an idea as to the size of the Spanish Mackeral that comb Israel's Mediterranean coast, not to mention learn that the Med and Israel could/should be on the kayak fishing map.


Having lived in - and fished - the area near Netanya for years, I know the fish you caught used to be common, but given the unregulated, almost daily netting by local seiners, the big fish that once roamed the area are almost totally depleted.


A huge congratulations on a great fish and great story, and thanks for posting it in this forum.

Nice feesh......

[PapaDave]

Is that a Spanish Mackerel or a King Mackerel? I used to fish for kings off the east coast of Florida and down in the keys when I was a kid.

[fishsouthcounty]

looks like a king to me, definitely no wahoo though. either way, hell of a fish.

[ratdog]

King Mackerel. Spanish macks are smaller with spots. I used to catch them both off the Carolinas.

Cool lure...I thought the same thing.

Get rid of the spinners - they can't catch fish...haha.

Great report and awesome pictures.
