Action shots ONLY
Post em up! Bendo shots are good, but nothing better than catching some action. No posing!

sadly, it's a few years ago. wish it would have been a preview of things to come. but I think it was pure dumb luck :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...4-07BKR040.jpg and the result http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...07BKR043-1.jpg and speaking of surf http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...oblaunch-1.jpg came in clean |
Buddy's 2nd time on a yak. Bastard.
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/13a484d4.jpg 1st big :wsb:. Somehow the camera clicked as I pulled it up. This was the fish that hooked me. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/efcee2b6.jpg Recently, on the wrong kind :mad: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/8860a412.jpg Ice Ice Baby http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/9fed7857.jpg Technically, I guess this is posing. The action of the shot, is a local La Jolla Tunie stabbing me in the hand with the treble hook of my rapalla. Wise words learned later from Aguachico "Rear treble hooks catch fish, middle treble hooks catch fishermen" http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/76445a85.jpg Does this count as posing? :D http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/864ab499.jpg The wrong kin :( http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/P6270029.jpg Locals http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/P6270045.jpg 6 a.m. Steveooo's Gayak fishing guide service. PM for rates :farmer: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/P1020006.jpg |

Here's one of Adi from '07 trying to figure out
how to bass fish mission bay. Don't forget Adi, you've got to hold the fishing pole--just in case... http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwegall...ing_07_002.jpg Here's a couple of me with a 12' plus T. The fight was unreal, the steaks tasty, and the memory, totally embedded. http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwegall...4/Yani_on1.jpg Sammons caught one the same size a few years back. He was lucky enough to have a private boat bring it to shore, since there's no way to paddle back with one this size. His weighed 175lbs. http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwegall...eshers_337.JPG http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwegall.../P10100582.jpg The T is resting on my rails while my legs are spread just for balance. Without the help of my buddies the OTW shot was impossible. Right after the shot, the fish was butchered. |

After losing a nice Butt type puller the week before in some 2-3' surf conditions, I figure 3-5' can't be that much worse right? Unfortunately I failed to check the interval (along with a slew of other things I forgot to do). The surf was not that bad by itself (until I returned later in the afternoon), but the short intervals made for a long gauntlet. The video you are about to see is performed by an untrained nonprofessional, don't try this at home. The duration of the onslaught was about 40 minutes total.

Something must be wrong with my speakers though, heard the agua, yet I did not hear an "Oh, phook..." or "Phook me...", not even, "Chit". Tried adjusting the speakers, guess I need to have them checked. Don't tell me as calm as you are with halis you managed to stay this calm as well...? San O can be fun...:you_rock::notworthy: |
Greg, that footage is hard to watch. But it surely counts as action shots. Hope you pulled on a big flatty after that experience.

Look this one up, beyotch. |
T-Man, that can't be San-O. Ya, there's cliffs, but
I've never seen San-O without a break in the sets???? Greg, you say "short intervals"?? I say "NO INTERVALS!!" I never saw a break in the sets!! My Great Greek GrandPappy once said: There's come a time when you've got to grab the bull by the tail, and face the situation. ClaireMonsterDufess: You need a paddle in your arms to tackle surf like that. A Hobie rudder can't cut it. Save your money, stick a Go Pro on, then show us. Instead of being just a mouth. |

FISH ON

Greg, That was BRUTAL, thanks for sharing. Why with the ease of stowing rods in the Tridents didn't you put them in the hull? I doubt I would have attempted launching in that and certainly not with the rods out. You really sacked up even trying. Was your forward hatch not latched?
If I can give one tip though it would be this. When really trying to drive your kayak hard you should keep your feet in the boat. Use your legs to help with your torso rotation and you get a lot more power out of your stroke, it also keeps you in better contact with the boat for better control. Much props for putting this up for everyone to see and learn from and even more for making the attempt to launch in that. :you_rock: |
Hey Greg. First off i dont want to come across as an A**. Just have a Q from a new guy. but i did notice that a few times between the waves you would slow down and start peddling hard again right before the waves hits you. Was there a reason why you didnt go as fast as you can till you pass the waves??? Would having too much speed gives a wave a better chance to roll you??

Generally speaking Greg your videos have such happy endings...having been in that predicament before I personally had trouble watching as well,
but thanks for some excellent onboard camera footage whether it was intended or not, I know this one will go down in your personal history, and not easily forgotten, or paid for...sorry for the hard knocks hope you were able to salvage some stuff, thank you for being brave enough to share, I don't think I could have done that... |
That video reminds me of some of, if not all my baja launches.. Glad there was no such thing as GoPro back in the day! :D

Jim: You know the saying "familiarity breeds contempt"? I never even thought that I might lose any equipment. Other than my first outing, I have not lost an outfit or, for that matter, much of anything. I had been fairly cautious about leashing all my rods and securing the top of my bait tank that held items like my VHF and Boga. Don't get me wrong, I have been wrong side up several times, but everything important has been well secured. Because I was thinking that the worst that could happen is that I get wet, I did not give my yak the prelaunch check I should have.
I do know about foot bracing and using my torso for extra power, but "old habits die hard". I was less concerned with speed than stability because there were 2 swell directions. As it turns out, a little more speed would have been the call for the wash that got me. I knew that a dash was not going to happen with legwells full of water most of the time, so I was watching and waiting for a lull. Unfortunately, the lulls that I saw before I got in the water were occuring about 200 yards north of where I had been swept to (didn't realize that till I was swimming). Yes, my front hatch was closed. I replaced the straps with Bungee cord which held up very well. Sasha: After a wave breaks, it starts to lose power. The further after it breaks that you hit it, the easier it is to get through. I was looking for a window where I could get through the area between the break and where the whitewater became manageable. Unfortunately, that distance was probably about 100 feet, and no lulls were in my immediate future. Shortly after my last swim, I had finally moved far enough South to find another area that had lulls. I made it out to fish for 3 or 4 hours till I was too cold and wet to continue. |
