stories like this help balance perspective. Kayak fishing isn't ALL fun and games. I thought this was going to end badly at this point. . .
"now my lap is filled with hooks treble hooks spectra...not a good situation to be in with a monster fish just waiting to explode next to me"
having hooks driven into any body part (let alone the crotch area). ..
biggest fear for me.
Glad about you not being hurt. Sorry about the fish. Unfortunately you get to re-live that moment in your head until you match/best the one that got away
(That's what has happened to me!)
