Rad catch! I lost sight of you after 30min and never saw you come back in! Thought you got pulled over to MB. What size hook were you using, I've missed 6 now with 40lb line and am amazed how you were able to stay tight with your beast! Nice meeting you out there.

My brother had on a 3/0 circle hook on a 40# floro leader. 65# braid. 20-40 Calcutta rod paired with a gold Trinidad 14. Think what helped him not snap off right away was that the drag was backed off a bit. Our first two hookups lasted less than 30 seconds before being snapped off.

Dude!!! Epic!!!!
Glad u got one after getting broke off. I saw that 2nd hook up and the tail thrashing at your bait. Too cool.
It was a fun day at the jewel.
Congrats on a fish of a lifetime!

I got my 90 pounder by 10 along w a 20lbs yellow.

That's probably the biggest I've seen taken on a kayak. I remember catching one of those...it wasn't that big thought! Impressive!
