For me, it is watching your quarry turn on your jig at the sight of its wild kick, and then the explosion of water hopefully following your anticipation. This is what I live for everyday in the pursuit for the next great adventure on the water.

Now equipped with a GoPro, I am able to share with all of you the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of victory. I have been waiting a long time to be able to capture video of these excursions and now I am finally able to show you. It was the camera’s first day out and it’s only going to get better with more time. Now I know what I have been missing out on for the last year. The editing was a chore that’s for sure, but fun. So here you guys go! The greatest surface iron video clip ever.

Hi Kevin, that my fishing style, love 100j fishing for YT at 5'3 120 pound, on the boat they all laugh at me cause i'm a little guy with long stick, nice catch bro. Need to push YT on my yak list now

Custom LB 100 cut 6" off the tip. Saltist BG 40H, 30 lb Izor first string. This rod is my light rod and is only meant to throw Tady C, A1 and similar weights. It is definitely not for the faint of heart.

That was killer.

Epic video!!! That was awesome getting to see the strike from cast to gaff. That's what I hate about most of the kayak fishing vids on youtube. The video cuts in in the middle of the action and you don't get to see the whole story play out. Thanks for the great footage!
