Smith River - real SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Nice work fellas. Although the fishing wasn't hot the Smith looks beautiful and you caught it w/ some beautiful weather to boot. Good on Mahi making that jack! And liking the short vid clip. I'm guessing you did that with the digital cam and not a video one right? I gotta give that a shot.

I wonder how many times Babe's been molested...

It's definitely something to master but it is very risky in moving water. You need to be able to read a river, judge current speed and depth, have a bombproof plan for jettisoning the anchor instantly.

For sure!  I spend my life on the river and it freaked me out a few times at first.  I also have definitely found that MANY yaks do not ride well on the hook.  This is not a mainstream activity.  Yaks can, however be very useful for hopping from spot to spot.

What mean "SLOW"!?!?  You got one!!!  I've having slow all year around...
Congratulation, Dan!
Now, I need to go catching, not fishing...
