I think if I get a Big Striper on the line in the Kayak... those guys fight hard and are a strong fish.
The plan at this point is like this:
-I'll be trolling (the Yak has rod holders positioned for this) I'll hear the zip of the line going out.
-quickly turn the Yak so that the line is in front of me.
-Put the paddle away quickly
-grab the rod and set the hook.
-get dragged all over the bay by the monster, My Yak has a 500 pound capacity so no Striper is gonna sink me.
-When the fish runs out of gas... Drag him into the Yak onto my lap and paddle home. Or if he's too big to get onboard (would have to be a record) put him on a short stringer and paddle home with fish in tow.
This plan may be flawed... if there's anything in there that's gonna get me killed please let me know before April 22nd
that's when open season starts.
