Offshore Sport Fishing in a Kayak!
 

     2009
    OK just when I think I have done it all out there something unique and bizarre comes along. We're not often blessed with a day calm enough to try this but when we are it can be a blast and give anglers a truly unique view of this sport. Check out these pictures of the fun.

166-LB KAYAK BLUEFIN BONANZA, BEST EVER - Veteran kayak angler Matt Shepard shattered the kayak tuna record last week when he corralled a 166-lb beast of a bluefin against the Gulf Stream current line some 30 miles offshore of Cape Hatteras. Shepard and friends Lee Williams and Ric Burnley motored out on Capt Scott Warren's Big Tahuna, where they baited ballyhoo and worked jigs for multiple strikes, but their pell mell sleigh rides ended in pulled hooks until Shepard solved the puzzle. The trick was to wait out the crazy surge of the first run, then settle in for a give and take battle on light drag. Shepard used a two speed Accurate and 90 minutes to claim his record for a tuna hooked, fought and leadered from a kayak. It may not last long. According to Burnley, the trip is easily repeatable.
