goal achieved

zooker · 05-20-10, 09:26 AM

i bought the yak last winter. my main goal for this year was to catch a decent bass from my yak..

i went out in the pre dawn hours this morning with da yak. i put in at the upper bridge of newsome creek,on tuckertown lake..i only took the frog stick and the spinnerbait rod...

after paddlin a hundred yards it was on..

yep it is a runt but a nice start.

this one here hit right under the nose of the yak i was with in 6" of pulling it out of the water-don't ya just hate that

i eased up in a small patch of hydrilla on the surface..and OMG!!! she hit the frog like a truck..i set a goal to catch a good fish this year... GOAL ACHIEVED!!

after losing the last frog in the boat.DAMMIT!! i switched over to a spinnerbait..
and fishing along the grass line..

come on pretty girl smile, i'll make ya famus....lol...

I'm guessin it's better in Zooker's open yak, but casting and hooksets are both a little awkward in the normal sit-in kayak.
I am smackin the reel on the yak a little less on casts though, compared to when I first started lol

Nice fish Zook! Gratz on achieving the goal!

flfireman · 05-23-10, 08:07 PM

Im shocked they make one big enough for him. Nice fish, but do they fill it with helium to help with flotability? Jus sayin'

66KingFisher · 05-23-10, 09:19 PM

I've always been leary of those sit on the top models....I can just see myself tumpin over every time I set the hook. But if Zooker can do it.............
