Hey everyone,

I decided to join the forum because I just got an ocean kayak trident 15 that I will use mostly for spearfishing, but may get into crabbing and line fishing as well with it. I'm definitely stoked to learn a lot from all the seasoned vets on the forum on how to get the most out of my kayak. I'm always down to dive so let me know if you want to go out!

Here's a link to my YouTube channel where I've posted some videos of some spearfishing that I've done. I'm in grad school and have been spearfishing for a few years now on the cali coast.

Thanks! Unfortunately no ahi/tuna for me (yet). The fish from the video were yellowtail. All those clips were on a two day trip out to the Cortes bank and Channel Islands.
