Good advice

A friend once told to me "make sure and bring a knife" when on the water, and that sure came in handy this day. This particular fish was quite upset about being gaffed (who wouldn't?), after a 2 1/2 hour fight on 30# leader, though quickly pacified after cutting it's central nervous cord. Every moment of the fight was tough, and I'm always amazed by this fish.

Holy Cow ! A monster on board.
Did you use the mirage drive or paddle to reach shore ?

That's a big Frickin Thresher. Also looks like a yellow is hidden underneath. Congrats

That's right Fish 11, good eye! Yup, got towed out and hand paddled it all the way in. . . . got the blisters to prove it.

That is a beast of a catch/accomplishment on a kayak! What did it weigh?

That's one hell of a catch! Nice to haul on your rig too I bet, it'd be a long ride back with something like that and my Revo, probably have to drag it....?!

Hellster, it was big enough to not want a smaller boat!

Wow! that must have been quite the fight on 30-pound test for two and a half hours especially know the line could break any second with a fish that big on the line
