6/6 LJ Sea Monster? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

CurtyL · 06-08-2009, 08:01 AM

OK DSsafety mentioned this guy in his post earlier but I am dying to know what this guy had on is line saturday. I paddled out around 8AM and passed this guy on a white Cobra with a fly rod on back. He had his spinner down in the water and was just kind of sitting there. I didn't even know he was hooked up. So I get out on the corner and fish around for a while -talk to this nice guy Mark who gives me a Mac and tell's me there's a guy inside who's been fighting a fish since 7AM in a white yak. Now this is about 1PM or so - I didn't connect the two. So I'm one of the last guys off the water and as I'm coming in at around 3PM there's this lone guy in the white yak and he's getting towed out to sea again!!! Plus, he only has half a pole. He's hooked up to a submaine or something and he's got half a pole. Last I saw him he was headed out to the corner. That's an eight hour plus fight there. I'm thinking it's an adult thresher maybe? What the hell fights for eight hours? Dude, if you're on these boards please post the outcome.

But, I could be wrong, he probably caught more than I did on Saturday...

If I am on a fish for more than 30 minutes.........it is nothing I want. Button down, thumb the spool.........break it off!

T shark, BSB mud marlin.

Sherm · 06-08-2009, 08:59 AM

Batray,even sharks give up after that much time.
Maybe he had spectra all the way to the hook and he couldn't break it off. It is a funny picture though, Jigmaster on a broken upside down spinning rod

CurtyL · 06-08-2009, 09:46 AM

If kelp swims then maybe. He said he thought he had it about 30 feet or so - so I waited around for a few minutes to see what it was. That's when he took off for open water pretty fast. He wasn't paddling either. Even a BSB doesn't take more than an hour or so. It was truly wack.

IN THIS CASE 5 FT SWELL EQAULS A IRONIC 5 FT RUNS

Jim Sammons LJKF · 06-09-2009, 02:11 PM

A few years ago I watched as an angler fought the bottom for at least an hour. I told him it was the bottom but he refused to believe me, funny enough the "fish" ran every time a swell would go through.

habanero · 06-09-2009, 02:43 PM

I was half serious about drifting bull kelp because I've had a battle with the mighty salad myself! It didn't go on for more then 10 or 15 minute and I wasn't fishing with an upside down coffee grinder, but I was amazed at how a little Calico wrapped around kelp felt like THE ONE. I've heard another story like that with a kelp/ling-cod battle going on for quite a long time but I'm not one to start a rumor.

Probably hooked my career...........
