Much more fun to take the least amount of gear possible when fishing from a kayak. Most of the time, I do have one in a somewhat easily accessible hatch.

I fish from a yak exclusively and carry a boga grip and an electronic scale You never know when you're going to get the once in a lifetime fish but I plan on it every time out. the fisherman formerly known as Blu-Ranger....

Great fish man, I bet that was a blast with the kayak.....I would have let her take me around the cove a few times just for fun A MAN WILL NEVER GO TO HIS GRAVE WISHING HE'D FISHED LESS!!

On my Length conversion chart a 24 1/4" is 8.82 lbs.. a 24 3/4" is 9.43 lbs and a 25 1/4" is 10.02 lbs and I believe this chart is on Normal sized fish. If her tail is missing an inch she is definitely a 10+ with that Body shape but if not she will still be close to 10 lbs because of the seasonal shape with eggs.
