I think the Vacant Yellowfin would be the easiest record to get of the vacant ones. Did you see how large the cobia was that's the record on conventional tackle in Florida? 130#!

Psssh, all you guys with your motorboats for tuna fishing... ;-) http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/23/sports/23fishing.html?_r=1I'm going to be out in Rhode Island (Newport) next fall, looking forward to doing some Striper/Blue fishing. Never done much saltwater fishing, but I do remember fishing from a pier with my brother when my family took a week's vacation at Bar Harbor in Maine. We threw diamond jigs using 10# spinning tackle. I remember catching the first fish, which felt like an 18" LMB and turned out to be a small mackerel.

Kayak fishing has been popular on the West Coast for a while. Kayak fishing is still very popular here on the left coast however the newest craze is Surf Board fishing. I see it almost daily in the kept beds at the local beach. Hmmm, that's the first time I've noticed there is a fish in that photo.

Surfboard fishing looks really productive. I imagine it increases the angler's foot to shark hook up ratio by 100 fold.

No doubt Gflo. Being in a kayak and spotting a shark would be bad enough....

BTW, Dang, was a four letter word when I was a youngster. Thanks to some PB members, I have used it twice. I am still waiting for the direct Lightening Strike!

Too bad that poor girl didn't catch a fish, but at least she's happy demonstrating the art of surfboard fishing!

I don't have any big fish saltwater stories but have fished it a bit off the piers in southern California and off of Catalina, channel islands, etc.
First fish ever caught saltwater was a 36" barracuda, i was 12. Caught a couple 12lb Sand Bass, a lot of grouper. But nothing overly huge. 20lbs at the max.
My favorite saltwater catch however was at Balboa Pier in Newport. I was fishing with my girlfriends family including her 4 year old twin cousins. We had the poles set up, my deep sea rig with the Penn Jigmaster 500. A few freshwater poles I had rigged with sandcrabs for yellowfin croaker and corbina. And the twins poles, a spiderman pole, and a tinkerbell pole.
I was hanging out with the kids as i notice the tinkerbell pole try to jump the side of the pier. I grab it and end up having to hand line up a 1 and a half foot leopard shark because the reel couldn't lift the weight.
The look on the kids faces was priceless. I ended up letting the shark go down in the water, it was pretty cool.

Ha ha, I caught them on a church fishing trip. I have a trophy for them.
And it feels good to be back checking around. I've been super busy with work.. and by work I mean at least 5 jobs at all time. But I have some exciting news that I will alert everyone to in a few days.
Well gotta head in to one of the jobs talk to everyone later.

Ha ha, Scott was right. I have teamed up with some guys and one of them had contact with an investor who is funding the first season of the show. We are going to be shooting 6 episodes. We are going up to idaho thanksgiving weekend to shoot the sizzle/teaser reel to entice advertisers to the show and will be shooting all 6 episodes shortly after that. So all in all, God is good and hard work pays off. I will give you guys more details as things unfold.

Good to hear... Any idea what the show may be called? Did you find a star for your show yet?
My friend just dropped over 1k on a video set up to video his hunts. I swear he is more into videoing now than hunting. I just can't get into it, but he said he would video a couple of my hunts this year so it will be interesting to see how they turn out.
