Gaffing Ettiquette - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Handymansd · 12-22-2008, 06:52 AM

Thanks for the great laugh, and awesome sense of humor Steve! I would never have admitted that sequence in public!

And as before, I think you may have a bright future in Kayak fishing videography! We should get you hooked up (no pun intended) with Big Water Jon and get some cool video of you two on the BIG fish!

Congrats Brother!

That was a good idea putting the camera up high like that. Congrats on the hali!

I was waiting for the "Spear It" technique to show up.

Good Job on the Hali.

I never understood why they want to sell yakers such short gaffs. If you had a longer reach, your video might not have been so enjoyable! I heard for halibut, go for the gut. Is this good strategy? I just gut gaffed a 32 incher in SD bay and he was pretty subdued after that. One swing and it was over.

That's got to be about the worlds most unlucky halibut.
