School is back in session!

Post by Prof. Salt »

So you have a little trout rod and want to catch big fish with it? Pull up a chair, grasshopper...

In all seriousness, I love catching these brutes and they pull like a freight train. Since they don't usually make super fast runs like kingfish, the small rod has a good chance of surviving the encounter as long as the kayak can follow the fish around. This jack tried some of the usual tricks like running around the rig, but he still came to the kayak and got to sleep in the freezer at Roy's. Soon he will be meeting a big tiger shark down the beach somewhere.

...I don't know why it won't show the video box. I removed the "s" but the site doesn't want to get along this morning.

Like I always say Glenn, you are a kayak fishing machine! Well done!
What pound test line did you have?

Thanks, the little reel is loaded with 20lb original FINS. It's pliable, casts extremely well, and provides enough strength to keep most (some?) fish out of the structure.

Loved it Glenn! Not sure how many times I laughed out loud. I was thinking you could call it Kayak Komedy. You are kind of like a stand up Komedian, ............ but you're sitting down. :mrgreen:

Cool as always, Glenn. I was hoping a vid would be waiting when I got back on!
