He's not even a pro fisherman, he just does it for the halibut

Is it me, or are these palindromes really crappy lately?

Was he old? did sharks eat it because he couldn't get it into his small boat?

Hemingway approves. But watch out for sharks.

I guess he did it just for the halibut.

God that sounds like fun. I have always wanted to fish in a kayak like that. I don't live anywhere near the ocean at the moment so that kind of puts a damper on that.

Big balls.
157 pounds of thrashing and then exhausted tuna over 4 hours might attract a few sharks to your tiny vessel.

Off-shore in a kayak, on Cape Cod... These guys don't show up very well on my radar in the fog. One of these days, one of them will end up as a speed bump. I wish off-shore kayakers would mount a high flier radar reflector on a whip, like the orange flags on bikes.

That being said, yahoo! Nantucket sleighride! Good for him. Sounds like fun.

Was he drinking vodak in his kayak?

Why the hell would you shell out the cash for a Van Staal rod, then put a Fin-Nor reel on it?

How much does it cost to get a buzz cut on your shoulders. Dude must go through a whole bunch of gel.

The VS rods aren't _that_ expensive. Not as expensive as the reels anyway. This guy is obviously wealthy, and I'm sure his rigs for boat fishing are more impressive. The rules of kayak fishing dictate that at some point your gear is going to go over, so carry what you are comfortable loosing.

$300 for a rod?
That's expensive to me. Granted not as expensive as the reels ($700-900), but still pretty spendy.

Apparently you have never been deep sea fishing. It can get pretty intense on a boat much less a damn kayak. Catching a fish that is able to pull you 5 miles out to sea is a bit different than hooking a crappie at your local pond.

FTA: "It fights till it dies," said Lamoureux, who added that a tuna once towed him (and his kayak) more than five miles offshore.

 
AccuJack 2009-11-06 01:27:01 PM  
This is sad, really. Kinda like people who fish for great white or other large sharks.

There aren't nearly as many of these fish as people think. I don't even eat tuna any more (which I do like) because they're going away from overfishing, pretty much like every other ocean species man has gained economic benefit from. Large tuna are getting rarer and rarer, countries can't agree on what's a sustainable level of catch, and the third world would happily extinct the fish either to eat them and avoid starvation or to sell them to have enough money to survive.

And this guy caught a big tuna from a kayak. Whoopeee. Let's all admire him for his accomplishment. He's right up there with the police woman who stopped the shooter at Fort Hood. Not.

Nice haul, but out here on the left coast quite a few folks have been landing toads off their yaks for years. Mine is not even close to the largest caught by other yakers over 6 foot long, not including tail.

Could likely be the largest tuna on a yak

What we need to do is launch major fish breeding/cloning/repopulating programs, for the benefit of the world.
Of course, nobody want to pay for such a massive undertaking, especially when there would always be more exploiters than benefactors, but with enough worldwide support, we could probably create some sort of equilibrium.
