The first pic of the big Northern Pike was caught in the kayak.....lots of fun, try to get out as much as possible, just got a fly rod having fun with it.
No leader, I use 20lb test braid, spider wire, I haven't broke a fish off in years with the braid, I do use a predator wire leader on the fly rod. I'm in Michigan I get alot of pike and walleye here both have teeth. The fun part in the kayak is landing the big ones a not getting covered in fish slime, or getting a hook in you! I use a Bogo grip now LOL.Man, that pike fishing looks like a blast! Did you use wire leader? Years ago I had a few hours to kill in Northern Idaho, so tried to catch one. I was using big krocodile spoons and had some very exciting hard hits/ brief fish on!s, but they/it kept biting the line. I finally put on a wire leader, almost had one landed, but it got off. Never finished the job. Might have to take another trip up north.
I get into these catfish sometimes Channels and Blues in the kayak talk about fun ....they fight! Tow you around pretty good.No leader, I use 20lb test braid, spider wire, I haven't broke a fish off in years with the braid, I do use a predator wire leader on the fly rod.

I would love to do the Rockies! I have a buddy who lives in the Florida keys, did some fishing there......off the hook...another world!My passion is trout in the Rockies. Or King mackeral in the gulf.
I have caught some big cats, and oh yes they fight! I imagine they would pull your kayak around.View attachment 1240268 View attachment 1240270 I get into these catfish sometimes Channels and Blues in the kayak talk about fun ....they fight! Tow you around pretty good.

I love being out on the ocean even if I don't catch anything.
