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.

Try to stay on topic Matt. We're talking about fishing here...

i love those DIY extensions!!! very nice going! and i see you have a bludger on the kayak too.. have you ever needed it? i usually head shank and gill any big fish to kill them + bleed them out

I have seen a coralation between light line and big halis. I don't always use the light stuff but most of my bigger fish have been on the 10lb. I'm not a meat fisherman and enjoy a challenge but when you're using a little bay bass rod, set the hook and feel heavy dead weight and then big old slow head shakes there is kinda a "Oh Shit, did I bring a knife to a gun fight?" moment.

I believe this rig has 40lb PowerPro and as far as sinkers go I always use 8oz torpedos. This fish was caught in waters that were between 55 and 65 feet.

f I know I'm keeping the fish I'll give it a few whacks just to put it to sleep, it keeps them from flopping around and sends them nighty nighty after four hits to the head

Yes, I bring a knife to a gun fight but I always bring one of my boys as backup

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 !
