Jacks are a ton of fun on any size tackle, but lightweight would be an absolute blast... Congratulations!

OMG you're killing me!

Maybe we oughta string 100lb mono choker nets along the border...

Fair's fair.

Great video! I'm wondering two things... what would you do if you hooked into a 6 footer, and how do you keep your 'yak so stable? Doesn't move even slightly when you're jumping all over it...

Thanks Doc! ...I'm thinkin' it might be a good excuse to lose a few pounds...

Great scenics! Looks like you had a blast with those bass. Appears they need to put on the feed bag, which might just mean it's time for a trip down there.

Finally got the new 'yak rigged out and on the water, and all was good until even the slightest swell hit it. Then I felt like I was fighting to stay upright until the surface action subsided. Is this normal, and something I need to just get used to, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks a bunch for...

N2, you have singlehandedly convinced me I made the right decision investing in a kayak, fish finder, waterproof camera, and all the other gear to do it up right. I love Fork almost as much as I do the Rocky Mountains. Have caught lots of fish there from the bank, but the eyes always wondered out to...

Oh, now wait a minute... 'yaks are good for "chasin' tail"?!?!?!?

Ditto! What an adventure... oh, to be young again.

J, first I congratulate you on a "thread well done", but even more so, your dad for bringing you up with such a terrific vision of life... I wish all nineteen year old males were blessed with your attitude. What a bunch of great responses, as well! This is truly a wonderful forum of people...

Great info, guys... thanks a lot!

OMG that second video looks like a hoot! Now I see why all you saltwater guys are addicted.

Outrageous trip of a lifetime! Should you decide down the road to get really serious about halibut, there is a small lodge in the middle of nowhere you might want to investigate, and ask for Nick... http://icybaylodge.net/

Smile tells it all... Great job!

Welcome to where God lives from October thru May! (he spends Friday nights here in September, as well )

I don't fish your local lakes, but if you wanna hit Lavon, Hubbard, Tawakoni, or Fork this fall, give me a shout...

Great job! ...now set your sites on a double digit.

Huge congratulations! That is a fish of a lifetime for most of us...

Bet you were plumb tuckered out, and even a short paddle must have been a challenge.

Terrific post! I hope you "young" guys who post all the pics and tell the stories know how much the "older" guys who can't get that deal done anymore appreciate being able to "live" your trips with you... It really sets this forum apart from others. Keep up the great wo...

I'll deny it to the end if any of you says a peep... but as hard a push as the industry puts on businesses to get involved in Facebook and Twitter, it seems to be a waste of time to me unless you already have a following. Then again, if you already have a following...

You gotta be kidding me... you caught that out of a kayak?!?!?! How long did you fight it, and how far did it yank you?

I'm the new guy here, but that looks like a "fish of a lifetime" to me. Damn well done!

Lots of things affect speed, but you all should be aware that ISP's in general are beginning to keep a very close eye on bandwidth usage. So if you are a heavy gamer or YouTuber, you may have your speed "adjusted" now and then by your ISP, particularly during periods of heavy usage by all ...

What a terrific trip! Have you fished the lake itself, or just the river? Gotta be some pigs cruisin' the shoreline in the fall...

You may want to do a Google search for "portable fish finders". There are lots of options there. Portables are not usually the highest quality, but may be all you need.

Can't think of a better way to spend a birthday... congrats!
