Funky Rocks! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Great catch Jeff. Sounds like a great day. I'll be hopping for some of that action tomorrow. The long fight, not being able to pull it up, big head shakes and long sleigh ride sounds like the time I had a large thresher and it ended up jumping out of the water doing a 180 in mid air and using it's large tail to brake my braid. Caught it on the Go Pro video but the wide angle makes it look like it is much further away. I know the feeling "it's a great experience but wish you could have landed it". Thanks for sharing.

Still a great yellow! Did your buddy get one as well?

Jeff,

Way to keep in the action. Your success on the yellows keeps me hopeful that if I put in enough time it will be my turn someday. Your great, detailed write-ups are a fun read.

Your the man Jeff,
All day on the water and your report is already done. I'm not even home yet.
Congrats on a good day.

Good story, but I wish you hadn't mentioned the Lucanus ... looks like another $15 jig I just gotta gotta have.

I keep a nice stock pile of them! I have over 50 of these things. Here's a pic before I restocked the other day.
