Sick! That strike on the grind got my adrenaline going. Better than caffeine to help wake me up.

Thanks for posting.

Very good video. What are the odds - first time camera is out and you hook up with a YT!!

that's the shizzle!
nothing better than surface action!

Would the newer hyper speed (7:1:1) of a saltist still be ok to throw the jigs or is that too fast for irons?

Nice fish, very cool video!

I guess there's no shortage of kayak fishing guides in LJ.

Good luck Kevin

No, I wouldn't get that if it were me. It is too fast and you are going to have to slow down your cadence which will restrict you from reeling through the strike. There isn't enough torque on the high speed reels to bring up an angry fish.

The multiple hits were awesome. Great work on the fish and the video. I like your samurai style fishing.
