dolomieu Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Well, I just purchased my first kayak yesterday, took it out for two hours and caught by biggest bass to date, ~5.5 lbs: Then, I took it out again this evening and caught a PR again! 6.5 lbs this time: Anyone around here ever kayak fish? I'm loving it so far Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Great fish! I kayak fish all the time. I use an inflatable because I need to carry it in to some harder to reach places and I can fit it in my trunk. I love it. It can make landing fish a little tricky but I've gotten used to it. It also makes me fish more thorough because it takes a little while to paddle back and forth. I'd rather be fishing than spot hopping. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted April 20, 2010 Super User Posted April 20, 2010 Nice bass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
shimmy Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 You know its unfair that you have to take the pic by yourself holding the fish away like that making them look slightly smaller for those two beauties. Those are just beautiful fish and you are gettin that Kayak thing down real well! Don't Kayak fish but those two days look fun. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 20, 2010 Super User Posted April 20, 2010 Very nice fish, and nice work from the kayak! Look into one of these: http://www.ram-mount.com/EmptyPages/DIGITALCAMERA/tabid/1542/Default.aspx Quote
dolomieu Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks guys, this was the most fun I've had fishing in a long time. Caught these guys on topwater too, which makes it even better. Yeah, it is tough to hold the camera back behind you and get the fish in frame. I have thought about getting a mount; that may be my next purchase. I still have a lot to learn about kayaking. Quote
brushhoggin Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 kayak fishing is the silent attack. sounds exciting. that fish looks more than five five Quote
AnglerNFuego Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Nice looking fish. How was that first fight from the yak? Quote
dolomieu Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 kayak fishing is the silent attack. sounds exciting. that fish looks more than five five Yeah, that's a conservative estimate. It may have been closer to six. 22 1/4", didn't get a girth.. Nice looking fish. How was that first fight from the yak? The first fight was exciting to say the least. I actually caught her on a log jam on the dam, so as the fish was pulling me around, I had to keep making sure I wasn't going over the dam. At one point I actually had to hold the rod with my legs and paddle a few times while the fish was still fighting! It's a wonder I actually landed her. Talk about an adrenaline rush Quote
