Is this legal - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

rincon rob · 06-05-2013, 10:47 AM

well im a little late posting. 5am 6/1/13 paddled out a mile made bait and fished till 1030 when i hooked up.i was using 25# test with 50# leader and dropper loops with the drag set loose.

towed me around 50' boat and 200' back out to sea.then i was able to get over the top of it and slowly brought it up.dragged it onto the kayak and strapped it down for the ride home.I didnt realise how much work getting a 60#

fish is.made it through the waves ok but the 1/4 mile between me and the truck was rough i was dying trying to carry the fish.Ihhad it over my back and was walking like the hunch back people were laughing at me but it was all good.Picked up some ice and had it filled within 2 hours of when i caught it.I had looked a pics of big wsb but never thought id be the one to win the lottery!!!!

However, nice feeesh
