Yak hoo's

[carnster]

Well Ant and i spoke last night and we agreed that today would be epic and i made a massive call that we would chase and catch some hoo. So this morn on sunrise we hit the waves and although Ant (the massive wave veteran) called it a 5 out of ten, it was still pumping. Ant whispered them down and i followed, hitting a few big waves the last of which was just before it lipped, launching myself and my yak way up into the air; much to Ant's amazement. But we were out, thanks for your moral support Ant. After a couple of hours it was time to paddle back in with spots onboard. Many were lost between us, but Ant scored 3 ( one was almost 1m long) and i landed 2. Then as we turned to paddle back in, I scored a small jellybean macktuna. So on he goes live and as i opened the bail arm i noticed that all of a sudden the line was ripping off the spool. As i closed the bail i realised that i was on and it was big. I called out wahoo and proceeded to be towed around with Ant giving chase. Eventually the beast (1.58m hoo) came up and with Ant's help we gaffed it and stowed it into Ant's hatch. So in we go again, when Ant scores a macktuna which he sent back down on his rig. AS we paddled in i watched his rod jerk and said you are on Ant. Boy was he on and getting spooled, almost. After a fairly short time Ant had landed and stowed his own (slightly smaller) hoo. Fun times and we got back in safely just to ice the cake. BTW i caught my hoo on a $20 jarvis walker 8000 reel so hoo needs expensive gear to catch big fish.::)

That is wicked carnster, you've caught fish that i would be stoked at catching out of a boat! Unreal. Ben

[netmaker]

way to go again carnster. i did a double take on the thread title (going blind) reading "yak hoons" instead of yak hoos. now i see what it's about you could've called it that anyway. you would have been doing a fair speed behind that beast. lucky you didn't get your yak confiscated for 24 hours;D.
