Okay guys, between work, grad school, the chiropractor, and trying to get this Devil's River video finished, I haven't had time to post a full report from our paddlefish trip, and I still don't. But here are some pictures to hold you over and give you an idea. Let me just say that we're pretty sure what we accomplished this weekend has never been done in kayak fishing before. The three of us hooked into 14 paddlefish, all of them huge. We broke the Kayak Wars record twice in one day. The smallest fish of the day was 45 pounds, the biggest broke 80. All fish were hooked, fought, and landed in the kayaks.

The strength of these fish is absolutely insane and it rivals the 6-foot sharks I landed last summer, but the challenge is greater because instead of the whole ocean to work with while they tire out, we had to muscle these fish in with nothing but a 25-foot wide stretch of river to work with. It was nuts. Snagging these beasts was the most physically exhausting fishing I have ever done by a landslide. I'm still sore.

This was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. I'm sitting on some incredible footage that I will begin digging into as soon as I release the Devil's River video, which is tentatively scheduled for Monday. In the paddlefish video I will discuss the technique, strategy, tackle, challenges, etc. so stay tuned. Subscribe to my channel (in my sig) to catch it when it airs.

Thanks for looking and tight lines everybody!

That's really cool Bobby

Man, Bobby, that's bad to the bone!

Oh forgot to mention. Nice pics.

That is a killer accomplishment! WTG! Was this in OK?

Not my thing but still cool!

I was serious when I said this is being added to my Kayak bucket list! I might try to make the trip sometime this summer.
