Twice In a Lifetime - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The Freediver · 03-19-2012, 01:44 PM

These kinds of posts I really love. I have a 3 year old little girl and another kid on the way. Please God let it be a boy. I imagined how proud you must have been when your son spoke at that meeting and sharing your experiences on the water with him. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

WTG Kurt!! that was a fun morning, full lunar eclipse and Cedros sized YT...

But see if I give you bait again!!!

***NOTE - for those of you on the fence about getting a Hobie pro angler, I introduce the "SUP lurk", guaranteed to put more fish in the boat!

HA!HA!HA! That was an epic morning all around. My favorite part was you hiding that huge bendo from Trompas and company as they were motoring away. As soon as the flotilla left, it was ON!

Too bad you didn't get a certified weight Kurt.

I tried to post my son's picture from the LAX meeting again but even with two screen names I still was shut out. I'll try agin under Kurtfish. My daughter came out and enjoyed catching Macs. We sang about whales and Yellowtial and she danced on the back of my PA as we trolled her Macs behind. No big fish that day but great memories. So many influences to scare kids away from enjoying our incredbilbe ocean environment, the Jaws Syndrome.

Try to get your kids out before they get too old and develop fears from socieity telling them things are scary. The PA is a great boat for kids witha 600 pound capacity and the stability for a 200+ guy to stand and hold his 55lb fish our cast an iron it is worth the extra effort in the surf and the truck. Good luck with the one of each, they will likely fight a lot but the unique differences are priceless.

What was the weight on your WSB avatar? It looks like 80 in the photo.

Twice in a life time...very well said!
Especially when life is so short and fishing days are so few. BIG time congrats!

But whats even fewer in life are 50lb YT. Is that a 50lb YT? It looks like it. If you say its 50lbs than i'm sure its 50 lbs. A certified scale would have been a really good idea, just to make it official.

50lb Yellowtails are once in a life time. I would've had it certified even if I had to ice it and weigh it the next day.

Again, congrats!

I took my wife and daughter out on my boat just last week actually. Faster daddy she kept saying! Makes me proud. I intend on building her a speargun when the time comes. She asks me to take her diving almost daily and watchs my dive videos with me. Helps me vacuum seal fish. One day.

My fish in the avatar is only a 50lbr actually. Just a great pic
