Title: your very 1st Yak hook up pic
Post by: MURAKAMI on April 12, 2017, 08:37:28 AM
My 1st hook up on my yak, 21" Big Mouth Bass was at Calero lake March 2017
I was out with Bob "Fahrenheit840"  Great time, and nice 1st hook up to break the Cuda in on some fish

Share your 1st catch on your yak

My first ocean fish on a tag along with some of the experienced guys out of Depoe Bay 3 years ago I believe ( but my memory sucks) it wasn't a big fish bye any means but it got me hooked on rockfish.

Nice fish that's a great first from the yak!

My first fish from the kayak was this beautiful bow from blue lakes in 2012. You can tell I'm a kook by the guides on my rod lol :smt044

Can seem to find a picture of my first time kayak fishing, but it was out of Santa Cruz and I caught a 12# halibut.

The second time was also out of Santa Cruz.  I caught a 34# halibut.  I was on the old Cobra Triple with my buddy Tom that day.  He caught a 25# halibut.  And we lost 1 other that was between these 2.

There are no fish in Santa Cruz.

Got rejected from the Los Banos creek because i was smart enough to wash my "new to me kayak the night before. So we headed down to the San Joaquin river and caught a pile of these little bass! It was a great first outing, with matching difficulty level for fist time kayaker.

This was a regular 'ol hook up shortly before the OysterPoint tourney.  I had my P13 by the time the tourney rolled around.  Shit, I think I got my P13 within a week of this picture being taken. 

I was hooked lol

this is the first OTW picture I could find July 7 2003.  A passing powerboat took the shot. I had just won that Caper in the Kayak Connection contest and took my neighbor's brother in law out.  He caught a 30#+ flattie.  Thing scared me!

I caught what I'm pretty sure was a jacksmelt in Humboldt bay. It took a 3" plastic shad that I usually use for black bass that was much too big for it to eat and then jumped in the boat and removed the hook itself. I am still trying to get used to fishing from a kayak so I wasn't trying to catch anything so much as figure out how fishing from a kayak works. So I took a picture and tossed it back.

5/8/17 Fortunate to borrow a pair of kayaks for our first time yak fishing. Thanks @Bushy! We arrived at Coyote Lake just when everyone was leaving, lolol. On the water at 5pm and fished for 2 hours. It was a success with my first LMB!! I did spend a lot of time stuck in the bushes/ trees 😋.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170509/787e24616580d50b417a15ca74924971.jpg)

My first largish LMB out of Lake Chabot in my, now gone, Lifetime Tamarack 110.  I remember randomly throwing a wacky hook Senko in to some reeds for the heck of it, then BAM! Took me on my first sleigh ride. Glad the 6lb flourocarbon - to- braid FG knot held up!
