Checkout my new seat!!!!!!!!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Rad catch...For future reference you need to gaff it in the belly right where the organs are. It is the most bizarre thing it completely paralyzed them even the big ones, secure the game clip slide onto yak put leg over halibut tail and proceed to pound the holy hell out of its head with a small bat until your sonar is covered in brain matter.... That is the safest way to have a big halibut in board .

How does the seat feel....? More importantly, can you take it off? It looks like my 5th grade math chair

Good job on staying focused! You have a good-looking fish there. Are you trying to sell at Hogan's ?

The seat is awesome. It has a detachable base so I can take it off. I took the fish to Hogans to get it weighed.

Congrats on the PIG!

I need a seat like that!

Nice Hali. More often than not, the prize is lost when digging for the landing tools. Good job keeping cool and getting the job done. What RK said about the landing, but also keep the weight of the fish supported by the gaff until you have clipped it, unhooked it and popped a gill. I prefer not to brain my fish unless there is a potential problem with Sea Lions and/or Sharks (I would rather have them bleed out as much as possible).

I don't know why but I have this weird urge to agree with this.

Im with ya greg but in the event that one may find themselves with some of those massive specimens that when they snap there jaws sound like a angry crocodile, The club of death and brain oblideration would probably be the only option......
There would be no plan b on a kayak.....

hell yeah. Finally you got the right size fish. Congrats...

dc,

I saw your bad a*s hali at DP kayak dock and it was a monster! That is one to be proud of - ones that big aren't easy to land unless you know what you are doing and you obviously did! (or was it just that lucky, new seat?

).
You're right about it being a slow day-I fished 6hrs for a couple bass and one hali rake. Talked to about a half dozen guys that got nada or just a single bass. It definitely was your day! Congrats!
