Been lurking these forums for awhile.  I am pretty active on the NWKA site.

Had the opportunity to fish with a couple of Northern CA guys on Kodiak and realized I was missing out by not checking these forums more often.  LOTS of good stuff here. 

The "Aha" moment came when it took two guys from California to convince me to fish a spot in Alaska that was virtually my backyard I had NEVER fished before!  AND it produced my largest fish ever...kayak OR powerboat!  Thanks Polepole and Bushy!!!!!! Seemed like a lot of their advice started with "So and So posted This or that on NORCAL Kayak Anglers page...."  So here I am!

Thanks!!!!

I have dozens of videos on my youtube page if you have the chance.  But here are my highlight reels from 2011 and 2013.  It's not all Kayak fishing but most of it is!  Sorry if the music is not upto par on the 2011 video which is shorter than my 2013 highlights which I narrate and is more pictures and overall year vs just hammering fish....lol.

Welcome Kardinal....
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.”
