LJ YT cheery popped!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SLYACKER · 08-06-2014, 09:29 PM

Launched around 7am with easyday, during the launch i snapped my(hobbie) paddle in half which made for an exciting wet launch! made bait really quick with some nice greenies and started my troll.. Not much later my bait get nervous and my reel starts screamin!! Picked up the rod thru it in gear and it was on!! I never felt so anxious reeling in a fish before, i couldnt reel fast enough to get the fish i gaff range!! Once he was close enough i swiped that lil fucker out of the water and onto my lap for the WIN!!!

Take them to a dealer. Heard they will replace under warrenty on hobie forum.

Silbaugh4liberty · 08-07-2014, 06:52 PM

Nice! ! You got me pumped for Saturday! I don't have a game clip, but a whole role of paracord! My cousin worked in supply his last 6 months in and hooked it up! Maybe I'll make a big paracord bracelet with a buckle to suffice

Ricsen · 08-07-2014, 11:04 PM

Nice yellowtail and congratulations on getting it done.

RookieYakker · 08-08-2014, 10:11 AM

Bad ass! Nice fish and nice hat!

Unfortunately, my cherry is still intact, but I did bust my Hobie paddle a month or so ago!
