Smart thinking man, nice job on the halibut. What's the tuna trolling rod doing on your boat?

I always enjoy halibut stories. My first keeper was on a cattle boat many years ago, and it went nutso when I tried to get the hook out. I didn't need stitches but I bled as much as the halibut. lesson learned....those thing have sharp teeth and are not afraid to use them. I am eager and ready with my halibut whacker when I catch one from my yak.
Thanks for the story.

I was outside the channel bouy and ask politely to move over a little more by the security navel boat...ballast point is the most narrow part of the bay.it's a big deal when and aircraft carrier comes up the bay with nuclear weapons aboard. One time in my kayak the helicopter came down on me and help push me towards the rocks it was fun...Gave me a rush with all the wind

Does any body bounce ball with a paddle kayak, I can see how a peddle would work because you can keep bouncing the ball but when I'm paddling the rod is in the holder. Do I just hang it so the ball is just above the surface and hope it bounces once in awhile?
