Been wanting to get more fishing in so took the Yak out this afternoon for a bit.

Finally caught a decent fish on a lake that I started to doubt held any fish. I'm happy with it!

An it's swimming again shortly after photo was taken. (Which was interesting trying to balance, get the right angle in sun
with cell phone w bright sun.)
 
Nice fish. I love fishing my kayak. In our lakes, I can do a silent glide into likely spots. Even bass that have become spooky are fooled into thinking it's just a log. Only good for one strike per spot, but that's better than the other fishermen usually get.

I also fish Monterey Bay with it. I tighten down of the drag for salmon or sea bass. Let the fish drag the boat. It's an E-ticket ride while it lasts.
 
Congrats! That's a really nice fish. I had an interesting experience recently myself with no-boat fishing. I took out my rod and PFD, threw on some boots for foot protection and swam from spot to spot. Hooked up a couple little largemouths and a OK fish that was my largest of the day. Even a little fish like this still reminds you who has the upper hand in the water when you're floating around them...
