Good logic, I use a club after, why not a kage before. Pm sent. SALE pending.

It would be the BEST $40 defense against a GWS if you don't have anything else...!

I agree with bassmanben's conclusion. Rules always state what you cannot do, and may sometimes give specific exceptions. This one says hook and line or by hand only, and gives only exceptions for use of a gaff and/or a net.

Who's we? And why not piece together why a kage IS allowed?

I didn't explain how a kage is legal to use as a gaff to take or assist in landing a legal sized fish. I just pointed out under 28.95 would make a kage legal to use in CA because you said it was illegal. I also pointed out 28.65 which you referenced had nothing to do with a harpoon, spear, or kage.

Besides, the Q&A you posted was asking about a harpoon/kage being used to land a halibut in which the answer was no. A kage is not a harpoon, but more like a spear in which the answer was stated yes it's legal to use but if under 28.95.

There's no doubt the whole regulation book is confusing and poorly worded.
Agree. Lots of wording that can be open to interpretation and lead to great debates.

Curious, did the conversation up in Norcal make it to DFW ears or a push made to make a kage legal or to use? Any word on progress if so? Would be cool if a proper fish dispatching device could be well defined and legalized for us kayakers to benefit it's use. Bare handed gill ripping and punching the bejeezus out of a halibut is getting tiresome.

The way I read it is that you cannot use the Kage to brain the fish because the fish has not been landed (secured). Whether or not you are using it to lift the fish up or not, you are using it to assist in landing it. The rules only allow a gaff for that purpose. I agree that the spear referenced is only allowed for "persons" floating or swimming, not from vessels floating on the water. The rules, as you might expect, seem written in advantage of the fish.

If your gaffing skills are anything like Matt's or Roby's you'll need a Kage, a gaff, three harpoons and two taser guns.

I can see Matt shooting himself in the leg with a taser, and then repeatedly stabbing his kayak with the Kage as he jitters. Rockfish can be scary with just a gaff!

AND even then the beast might not make it into the yak. If BERTHA is really mad she might just beat you with your own Kage! BIG BAD BUTT. Or maybe she will rattle YOUR cage?

When you deal with only HUGE fish like I do...... You needs whole arsenal of weapons.



Mere fishermen like the rest of you may be fine with just a gaff!
