that was a great read. the stoke is palpable!

..and hey, I remember taking the pic of RBark & Chewbacca at the SC Harbor contest. Awesome!

NCKA is a great community, and I'm proud to be a part of it, so reading something like this gives me all the good feels.

Nicely done Ryan.

NOW I NEED TO GO ON ANOTHER EPIC FISHING TRIP.

If Gimme Shelter happened last year, this would have been a much longer article. Maybe the next new year?  :smt002

It was strangely nice to read my own article again. I ended up stoking myself and I think I will be fishing this weekend.  :smt007

Thanks Bushy!

Ryan is a kool dude in my book any day. Remember meeting him for the first time at ARW and he caught a leopard shark, he was thrilled. Great guy who loves this sport is becoming quite the kayak angler. Right on bro, like for many others on here, including myself, NCKA is a life saver.

Yes, so nice  to be able to forward NCKA input.  Kayak Fishing Magazine goes out to the WORLD!!

And, this is the most heartfelt piece I've had the pleasure to publish.  Thanks for the attaboy to Ryan, everyone, he deserves it in spades.

Good read.   Different circumstances, but I know the feeling of being out of touch in your own life.   Kayak fishing really changed things for me too.  There's no going back! Lol
