The two that got away... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Wahoo, let me know when you want to go out and show me how ; )

I actually have just been hitting the spots that were marked on the GPS from the previous owner... so far they've all produced fish (some were just 17" calico, but fish none the less).

Thanks Dan. I used 2/0 Owner hooks on these 2, and the way I lost them, I know that my main problem was the gear I was using. I had a crappy Okuma reel which I bought in March when I was 'testing out' kayak fishing. I just went out and picked up a new Avet reel and love the feel and the ease of adjusting the drag. I will give it another go with a good reel where I can adjust the drag with more confidence.

What's a good second reel that I can pick up to have for

for YT? All suggestions and feedback appreciated.
