When I fish for marlin I bring: 10 rods 5 miles of fishing line 35’ boat 300 gallons of fuel Outriggers Down riggers Side riggers Fighting belts Parachute Dredges Teasers Planers Birds GPS with 10+ years of waypoints and fishing spots I’ve saved in it Auto-pilot/auto-troll High-definition Sidescan sonar with 3 transducers and 5 different frequencies that’s so clear I can practically watch an octopus getting laid 500 feet below the surface dozens of different spoons, lures, and baits 30 jimmy dean biscuits 10-20 gallons of beer EPIRB 10 life jackets Fire extinguishers Air horns 3 different types of flares 2 anchors A minimum of 6 five gallon buckets 3 tackle boxes 35 different sizes and shapes of hooks 3 different kinds of sandwiches A poop bucket A spare poop bucket incase the first one gets dropped overboard 2-4 friends to help out bonoculars 4 different styles of knifes With all of this gear I consider myself lucky if I catch a couple small to medium sized marlin. Meanwhile this guy is out there in a kayak with a fishing pole and catching a 450 and a 500 pound marlin. https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/f...-marlin/?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email I am starting to think I need to re-evaluate my choice in hobbies and maybe switch to something like bird watching or frisbee golf.
I consider myself pretty damn brave/foolish but out on the ocean in a kayak!? Even with a chase boat, no thanks. I'd rather pack all your listed gear and be content with a small to medium sized marlin. Cool video though.
Damn That sounds fun can not imagine from a kayak, you can not use your legs it would be all upper body. I can only be in a kayak about 2-1/2 hours at most and even after that long I pretty much have to crawl out of the kayak.
I'd prefer to live next to a low level river with rocks and smallmouth galore. I'd be content for the rest of my fishing life.
I know that. You tied my comments about basically being courteous to a police officer and not having an issue with the cop-with Real ID which came later in the thread. Regardless of having or not having Real ID when interacting with law enforcement, being courteous goes a long way in keeping your ass out of trouble. "No officer, I don't have ID on me. My name is xxxxx, I live at yyyy, my date of birth is ww/ww/wwww." Easy peasy. Most LEO's will find that you are being cooperative. If you are driving without a license, well, YMMV. I do understand the angst that VS had with regard to citizens having to following the rules and those undocumented people that live in certain areas not having to follow the same rules.
You know.. even with all the fish I can buy and have shipped overnight, ect.. There is still nothing better than a pan fried perch, a couple of eggs over medium and some hashbrowns.
I love when people use flex seal to do roofing repairs themselves. I charge double for the repair bc you know, they've made it obvious that they'll believe anything.
Obviously you haven't seen where they installed a screen door in the bottom of a boat then sealed it with flex seal.
On a boating website that I go to a guy posted that he bought and old beat up tin fishing boat that leaked. He sprayed flexseal all over the inside of the boat and he was pissed the boat still leaked. There were chuckle heads that replied that the guy did it wrong he should have coated the outside of the hull.
My rant today is one that really pisses me off. If you are going to bait deer off my property during deer season continue to feed. 6 deer less than 20 yards by the bird feeder in the front yard.
Farming is so fun. (That's sarcasm) I've been pulling stuff out of shed for grandparents to get ready for spring. Basically because nobody else will and being laid off for the winter I'm bored. Well today was taking the the versatile and cultivator over to buddies shop to go through it all. Got just about there and bam tractor stops moving. Luckily its not right in middle of road so ppl can least get by, so call buddy and get out to find entire road covered in hydraulic oil. Blew one or the main lines. So much fun, pulled it to shop then went back and cleaned up some of the oil. All the while everyone that went by had to stop and say, "broke down huh?" Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
We just had our annual fishing jamboree at our bar last weekend. Consists of two man team ice fishing contest with a meal of fresh caught pan fish, coleslaw and french fries. I'm not much of a fish eater but to me there is nothing better than bluegill and crappie. The guys that prepare the fish say the secret ingredient to their batter is Pabst beer!
