Right on George! I love the light tackle fights. Good job on a nice flatty.

Nice video for the fight .

I like your rocket launcher setup with leash .
Is that Ram or Scotty mount ? Where can you mount it ? (can't be in the tankwell...)

My Hobie rod extension in the back (straight up type) is not as good as your setup.

They're home made rocket launchers.

Thanks for picture of your diy rocket launcher !

I will give it a try !

The straight up Hobie rocket launcher some time will tangle up with Hobie rudder (when kayak is not in motion ), your setup will avoid this to happen.
Thank again !
