Dorado - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mikey Likes It · 08-05-2015, 09:13 PM

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I pulled up a glowing blue-purple orb in the water last Saturday. What a crazy year we’re having it really is all time, one for the records books. I’m blessed and so thankful that my mom sent me a beautiful Dorado and I sealed the deal in the end. Dorado are some tough ass fish with some thick skulls. Can’t wait to see what else is going to happen this year from a kayak. Wahoo and Marlin?

That is Frickin AWESOME Mikey! Congrats dude.

Now I've friekin seen it all. This one takes the cake! This wasn't some 6 mile voyage, you are inside the point and past the "corner" of the white building.

I don't comment much on the normal YT, but this is amazing!

I don't know how you stayed so calm taking a sip of beer during the fight and then f'ing around with the GoPro on the gaff. Not sure I could have risked losing a fish of a lifetime with all that BS, but you pulled it off! Wow!

Good going!

Sick vid, rad gaff cam, and the dorado double at the end is quite appropriate!

amazing. so sick!

seaquinn · 08-06-2015, 07:38 AM

OMG!!!! Congrats!!!!

I caught one about 10 miles out of LJ on a PB on Tuesday (great with garlic butter), but to get one on a kayak!!!! Right at LJ!!!! Amazing, just amazing. And a yt as well!!! That's the day!

What an incredible jewel we have right here!

ps... caught 9 yellowfin tuna with my son about 7 to 10 miles out... every bait was hit on the right paddy.

What a year! And Chris (ctfphoto) caught a 40 pound halibut a few days ago... just unbelievable. Again Congrats!!!!! Thanks for posting...

DanaPT · 08-06-2015, 07:39 AM

wow. I do think we need an "exotic thread" for all the YFT, BFT, Dodos, Wahoo, sail fish, etc. Just to remember how good it was in 2015.

Who's next?
