How many of you have flipped your kayak?

But I'll tell you what, there's nothing like boiler rock fish for monster calicos. the wind, the surf, the fish... It's more spooky than new moon fishin' for wsb with no lites.

I know this is an old thread, but I must say, Kayaker are a different bred of fisherman. Coming from mostly fishing on a boat, my usual solution when things get tough is to cut the anchor and full throttle. It would never occur to me to dive into the water to free the anchor. After all, I certain wouldn't want to get my feet wet.
