Santa Cruz. I don't think this was within the last day or two since it looks overcast in the picture, and the sun has been shining hot these past couple days. Also, no motor so they were close to harbor.  But thanks for posting! Always like looking at fish pics.

I think harken makes a lot of Hobie hardware? Only the best. Expensive, but maintaining a Hobie is still WAAAAY cheaper than boat

I'm also interested, can you send some details? I have passport ready!

I bought a penn squall about 3-4 years ago, didn't even last one season on the kayak.  I had to send it back for warranty repair.  I got it back and now I have to take it apart every year to clean it.  Salt water intrusion.  If you go with penn I would stay away from squall and do at least their fathom line.  I have three fathoms, 2 lever drags and a levelwind for 2 years now with no problem.  I've had them apart and no signs of saltwater inside.  I agree with having a dedicated trolling rod for salmon.  I have 2 penn levelwinds dedicated to trolling with a fast action light rods for salmon and 2 heavier rods with lever drag or level winds for bottom fishing.  But I have a tandem and typically always have 2 people so I need 4 rods. 
I'm sure lots of people will chime in, but yes, you should have at least 2-3 setups for kayak fishing out here!  It's more that salmon fishing requires light rod, fast action, which isn't the greatest for deep dropping 8oz of weight for jigging halibut/lingcod/rockfish.
