Wish I could earn a living as a professional kayak fisherman...but I am a MUCH better engineer than fisherman. That said, this engineer has been catching some fish over the last 24 hours. I guess it is true, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

That is a 3lb 4oz fighter that nearly jumped over the boat.

Image

The one below was bigger than my head, and I have a large head... Sorry for the goofy look on my face. It's my holy cow big fish face. 4lb 7oz. I wanted to measure it, but she swalled a shallow running crank bait whole and it took way to LONG to get her unhooked. She needed to be back in the water more than I needed a photo on a hog trough.

Image

The other reason for the goofy look on my face is that I took this while standing on one hand in my kayak. Try doing that from a Jackson Cuda!

Is anyone else seeing the last picture upside down? Looks great (except that it is me) on my Mac and iPAD, but upside down on my PC. Have had this happen a few times recently using Windows 10.

So, this is actually my iPhone auto-correcting the orientation of the picture and then windows auto-correcting the auto-correcting that my iPhone did.
