Great Pic..... - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Trout · 02-26-2009, 11:04 AM

My boys go to school right around the corner from Blue Water Tackle, so I usually cruise by to bug 'em if I have a few minutes to kill before I pick them up. So I went in yesterday and Roosta shows me that beast... I pretty much shat myself. Beautiful fish. Sometimes you get lucky and catch a beast right away in your younger years. Sometimes it takes eons. But one day, if you fish long enough, something like this comes along. Savor the moment - that thing is epic

If I catch one like that I'm gonna Gyotaku it for sure... then you can remember forever!

Holy Hell!

Is there really any question for post of the month?

Nice fish!

Billy V · 02-26-2009, 12:23 PM

It was Rick's Fish, so it should be Rick's choice to make the Post and tell the story if He chooses.

Its His Thunder man.

I don't post pictures of other peoples fish, because its their story, and their moment.

Rik · 02-26-2009, 12:39 PM

Man, what a toad. Congrats.

anyone wanna come work at the kearney mesa store so I can get in on the action?

Great pic of the squib boats and yakkers w high five.

Great pics of Rick and his fish too - I am very sad that I can't look at that thing again.

But very true - Rick's story. I don't know him, but big time congrats on that beaut of a tail!

You'd have to tie me to prevent me from bragging with that sort of catch.

Rick, if you are there- throw us a pic of two, we'd love to drool on that thing... I'm "paying" you back with a short but sweet 10 secs video of you being towed by that monster right by my boat... at pretty funny speed.

Congrats again!

Just to clarify things, Yes that is me high fiven rick. I dint even know someone took a picture of us.(what a great shot!!!) He man handled that beast on 25 pound line. Rick and i landed back at the same time and later i was told it weighted 52 pounds. I segested to rick to drive to OEX and have it officially weighted because that may be the biggest Y.t. ever caught in a kayak. Can anyone confirm if rick ever did show up at OEX yesterday?

yakrider · 02-26-2009, 08:51 PM

friggin' beast!!!!

holy moly!!!

Billy V · 02-26-2009, 08:56 PM

I hope that fish has a brother.

What a spectacular fish, and on #25 lb test. Certainly a testament to your patience, and fishing ability.

I can't think of a more rewarding experience that to catch a World Class Fish while surrounded by your kayak fishing buddies as witnesses.

Foamer · 02-26-2009, 09:21 PM

Wow! Can't wait to read the story on that one.

Tman · 02-26-2009, 09:27 PM

Whoever took that beach shot is hired, dang good photo. Funny watching him lift it over and over again, seemed like everybody wanted him to hoist up for a photo op...

And Bajaboy, great pic indeed...who knew that pic you took would turn into that beach shot. Thank you, me likes...
