REEL BEAST · Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2009 7:30 am Post subject: New Kayak, works good!!!!

We got home with our new kayak last night. We got the Wilderness Tarpon 120 in MANGO from JerryB's. Jerry and Debbi are GREAT to work with, I can not say enough good things about them. I will surely buy my next kayak from them also. We finally got launched and made a trip through the neighborhood to try out the rudder. Then we proceeded to the flats to look for supper. Just as we reached the flats I saw a popping cork, I am cheap so I head over to retrieve it, and of course it swims off. LOOK OUT, the chase is on, and I am hungry. 15 minutes later, Brenda and I corral the cork and Brenda nabbs it finally. First comes a ball of monofilament line, oops somebody got spooled, I am licking my chops now. Next is the prize, the biggest hardhead I have ever seen. WOW, no wonder he spooled somebody, he might have given my Stradic a run for the money. Anyway, we head back to our fishing spot, make a few cast and bam, Brenda hooks up in the new kayak with a 23" Red, finally, SUPPER. Made it back home cleaned up, and of course went to Popeyes for chicken, go figure. Redfish tonight for dinner.

We also hit the LHL on Friday evening. Had a great trip, just didn't quite have enough water to travel freely. We took home one 25" Red, and released a couple others that were marginal. With my son having moved out, that one slot size Red is two or three meals now.

Was it a hard head or gafftop? I guess this wouldn't be a legal entry in the star tournament.
