Watching ICast 2024 on youtube. I didn't spot a single kayak that you could propel using paddles and all have motors. All are like big boats now and weigh over 160lbs. They shouldn't be calling them kayaks anymore.
All geared towards big people and bass fishing.

Harrowing situation to be in for you and your buddy both. Glad things worked out in the end. I wouldn't be out in the fog without a radio with no sense of direction. Did he not have a fishfinder with gps as well?

All I can say is that you're a good friend to your buddy.

Slow for me. 3 squid for me only.  Not many around and were spotty and in small patches. I gave up on squid and started trolling north of the red can and hooked on to something really heavy in 120ft of water. I slowly reeled it in but my leader broke at mid column after the fish decided to wake up. Note to self, do not ever use 20lb leader again.

Caught a few underlings and a few small rockfish. Decided to go back home empty handed.

A number of yakkers decided to go to the hotel to fish for halibut. I didn't hear of anyone catching anything over the radio.

Will be there on Sat. Can't make it there tomorrow. Hope you guys have a lot of fun,.

Have you try bleach?

Nopes. Will try that next. Thanks.

I've seen a couple that size pulled up on a party boat near the Farallon Islands. Deckhand stuck it into one of the igloo coolers. Poor thing kept trying to get out.

I have one of those Panasonic 6 blade arc6 razors. Works very well.
