Kayak fishing....Double figure cod tonight
« on: June 24, 2009, 11:52:20 PM »
Now then.
went out for an evening session tonight, met sam and was on the water by 4pm.
headed out and started drift fishing whilst sam checked his pots, I was actually trying an area that we havent payed a great deal of attention to just while I waited for sam to play catch up and was at the end of my drift when bang, I was snagged...........or was I?
Ive had 6lber's take line before but his thing was going for the gold, I had to knock the reel out of gear whilst I set the drag correctly and then played the fish,
took me 10 minuites to drag up, but once I did I couldnt belive what I was seeing.
Radiod sam to tell him I had what I belived to be a good double, sat on my lap, was there a chance we could weigh it on the beach whilst it was still fresh.......
heres the results

12lbs 14 oz,

Smile for the camera!

capped to bits, theres not a feeling like it, couldnt concetrate on the fishing for the rest of the day and thats the only fish that I got tonight, but what a fish.
still buzzing, my first double and my biggest saltwater fish

Well done Ben, always said the more you put in the more you get out in this hobby, it takes real effort loading the gear, draggin yaks up n down slopes & then sorting it all out again afterward.....and you really have been putting some effort into it. A well deserved reward mate, congratulations.......  :happy:

Well done Ben. Up untill this week I think there was only 2 doubles caught on a yak and Sam had both of them. He then managed yet another this week and now you've raised the bar with that beauty. Well done to both of you and perhaps old sam  might paddle a bit faster next time to beat you to the hot spot  :whistle:
