What is that best way to nail one with gaff? Belly? Larger models are a handful when they go bananas . Just looking for a refresher corse. Congrats on take.

Gaff em in the belly and try to keep them down in the water while you slip your game clip on. Then bleed it before you haul it aboard. Easier said then done, and risky if there are dogs around.

aim for the shoulder, generally stuns em. Funny the second one I swung a little high and got her in the chin.........I got soaked.

Awesome post Andy.
It's really cool to see that you and the Mrs. can share quality time on he water. I picked up a second kayak at OEX Mission Bay with the hopes of getting my wife out there!

Nice report, thanks for that, Andy. Congrats to you and your wife on a nice haul. We need to go get us some, it's been awhile off of the water, and even longer away for those DP 'buts. Hungry now...
