Who needs the gym? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

bigbarrels · 05-15-2009, 03:03 PM

When you can do some curls in La Jolla! Did a couple curls at La Jolla today and realized I need to do this more often. Caught my first WSB which maxed out my 50lb hand scale and on the bathroom scale weighed in at 57 lbs. Amazing fight! Incredible couple days on the water for me this week! First (decent) YT, first WSB. Thank you Bob for taking the pics and thanks again for the cold beer on the water

Good job!

Do you live near Irvine? I saw a truck with a red x-factor with a rudder near Sports Authority. I was envious of the guy fishing on a Friday and I'm envious of you.

Thanks for the report.

bigbarrels · 05-16-2009, 07:11 AM

Yep, that was me. I live in Irvine....had to go to sports authority for a Food Saver and better knife.....

And look forward to fishing for the rest of your life trying to catch a larger ghost, Tom.

I was going to post mine, but after looking at yours I'm embarassed to show her off
