Epic! Congrats Chuck D. Way cool to see you do this from the sands of the Shores.

Can't add to what has already been said!

Only one question...how far offshore were you (if you know, roughly)?

Well done!

I'd love to get a paddle bluefin.

jscott · 06-27-2015, 05:59 PM

Wow! Amazing....great story and epic catch!

Kayakfisherman79 · 06-27-2015, 06:18 PM

SWEEEEEET!!!! "In my Cartman voice". LOL awesome catch bro.

kaya_one · 06-27-2015, 07:21 PM

Very cool! Would love to hear more of the details as I just picked up an AI myself.

StinkyMatt · 06-28-2015, 07:24 AM

Wow.....Chuck you da man!

Chuck is intense...when he fishes......

With all due respect.....most of the guys on this board could not have done it. I've seen Chuck go on a solo expedition in Baja where left the fleet behind, went waaaaaaay far, found his own turf and killed the big fish while the fleet was chasing spotted bass by the beach.

Congrats Chuck!

Chuck D · 06-28-2015, 09:50 AM

Thank you everyone for the kind words, it was fun and I hope to do it again next week. Maybe we'll see some other larger models pop up on the board soon! Be prepared, be safe and good luck to those giving it a shot

Saba Slayer · 06-28-2015, 11:45 AM

Nice Job...!!!
I was on the fence about an AI as my next Hobie...I think you just made my mind up for me.

Deamon · 06-28-2015, 05:51 PM

Definitely one of the hardest fisherman I know. Well deserved Chuckie Dee...well deserved. Jim

Handymansd · 06-28-2015, 07:52 PM

Well so much for secrecy... The tuna's out of the bag.

I guess guys named Chuck are BFT slaying machines!

Adi, can we get a tuna smiley?

lamb · 06-29-2015, 12:05 PM

Chuck, I am not the guy for smileys - that's Andy's department.

Big time congrats to both of you - waaaay cool!!!
It's going to be a crazy year!

Chuck - if you were out there this past Saturday...

I was there on my boat, and from the getgo I wished I stayed home, it was nasty!!

lbsurf2ca · 06-29-2015, 03:54 PM

I was on the newseaforth that day watched two guys on kayaks heading west as we passed la jolla ...had me worried for them on the way in as it got nasty hope whoever it was turned around on time. It was brutal.

Handymansd · 06-30-2015, 03:08 AM

Yes it was brutally rough out there! Horrible headwind, and whitecaps with occasional mixed swells to keep me wet! That warship 108 kept doing propulsion drills that created 8 ft wakes to keep me on my toes, one of them almost sent me over... And he wasn't even that close to me. But it was an epic trip with epic results! I will go again as soon as work allows.

svendawg · 06-30-2015, 08:13 AM

Nice catch Chuck. It couldn't have happened to a more dedicated fisherman.
Hope to see you OTW soon, but maybe a little closer to shore.

makobob · 06-30-2015, 07:59 PM

Congrats on a well deserved fish. Chuck strikes again.
