So i grabbed a wooden plastic hammer ( the one used to install wooden floors and wakked the fish between the eyes. (I see videos on you tube of people stoning their fish on their kayak) In the videos I always see the fish get knocked out, but no matter how hard i hit it would keep wiggling. So I sharpened the knife and cut the mouth and took out the guts, and that fish still wiggled a little.

Too funny... Sounds like fish torture

This reminds me of the first time I took my old girlfriend Susan trout fishing.

She caught a nice 10" brown and a few minutes later I saw her swinging it like a club beating it's head against a rock, it was a bloody mess and still kicking. I said: How would you prefer to die, passing out in bed from slowly asphyxiating or having someone beat in your head in with a hammer?

After that she put her fish in the creel.

Congrats on breaking your curse. Back in the mid 90s I had a yellowtail curse where every yellow I hooked for about a year I lost to structure kelp or tangles. It took the most powerful force on the planet to break my Yellowtail curse. Thank God for El Nino~.

Keep fishing you got bigger and better things coming.

Oh and by the way did you catch any macks..I need some hoop bait.

If you mean mackerel, I didn't bother attaching the sibiki rig to catch other live bait, my bait bucket was filled with sardine. Some were still kicking way after 3 pm.

My daughter always asked me if i caught a fish and i would always bow my head and say no.

I know that feeling well, nice to break the curse. Eric never mentioned to me the kayak was cursed

My only advice is eat it fresh! If you are gonna freeze it ya might as well buy fish sticks!

congrats on the calico, nice feesh, I totally forgot about the curse yesterday, so that means yesterday was the first day of the rest of your fishing career, great job on the long paddle to get rid of the x factor monkey, thanks for a great day on the water, will definately do it again somewhere...
