Like to hear your fish count and if you top this hats off to you with a big fat stogie....:cheers1:

I can't top that take, but the *Tail-Art* is classic. Very cool! I say it deserves the #1 spot on the fireplace. :notworthy: Great work this season!

Kelp. sealion, sand, and a few sunburns for me

Oh and one bonita

I didn't get out as much as I wanted, but who does.
10 yt. 5 little bonies. 1 vermilion
Bunch of spotties. 5 calis.
3 cat fish. Maybe a dozen large mouth.
Couple bonefish n corvina.

On a plus side, I managed not to hook any thing cartellaginous so far this year. Mike

I tried to do a fish tail art installation in my back yard, but between my cats and the skunks n possums that roam my 'hood it didn't work out too well. Mike

Just starting out, so just 9 yellows, hand full of Bonita, one bsb approx. 50#'s and of course a bullet tuna for my exotic 😒 However, the year is far from over for me...

year not done yet .....

so far

12 Yellowtail, 2 released (no targeting yellowtail all summer when tuna where in)
1 Dorado
1 Huge Sheepshead
1 Lingcod
12 Lobster

many bonito, rockfish, calico, whitefish, more sheep.

40 pound Halibut from private boat but on a spot researched, found, and fished many times on a yak.

Definitely not done yet.....still trying to find that wahoo. Kayak wars is free if you sign up early, the point system is debatable, but it does make a cool record of your catches.

Kayak Wars originated in Texas around 2007, but I don't think it became national until around 2009. The tournament season runs from the middle of Feb until December 14th. This was my first year, signed up in January for $15, but they had an early sign up for free last December. Look to be able to sign up sometime in late December. It will give you a good way to keep track of your catches, and provide some kayak records to try to beat.

I dont really keep count, but I was thinking about all the sharks species I have caught this year...

thresher - broke off on the 5th jump, 5' or so
swell - landed and puked on my buddy, 3'
hammer head - broke off by a few, 6', 8', 9'
smooth - landed a 3'
maco - broke off fast, 5'
soup fin - cut my line at the surface, 6'
leopard - landed a 4' and 5'.

I wanted el dorado, yellow fin, blue fin, yellow tail and white sea bass. Nope...shark fest.

I'm hoping things reverse....for you next year
