I'm telling you guys this is the first time I've been out here how have I not

gotten a kayak before explain to me right now and I just jigged that

beautiful like with this buzz bomb like the buzz bomb music check it out that's

the one this has been the one I've used for both mornings I'm not even trying

anything else like I'm just I love buzz bombs I use them for everything every species bites a buzz bomb but oh my gosh that fight was insane I'll never forget

that fish that's a milestone fish for me it really is this is a milestone fish

for me oh thank you Lord what a morning have you guys ever seen one of these

things well if you drink a lot of coffee out on the water water or whatever you

drink and then you gotta go to the bathroom you gotta drain I mean here

there's nobody here I could probably stand up but you know if the water is rougher for example you got a couple rollers you don't feel like comfortable

peeing off the side of your kayak this is what you use that's things you

wouldn't think to bring on a kayak right there well I'm here to report that the

the pecan worked really well I I give that a thumbs up and a list of

essential items on a kayak yeah we're on the reef now now we're on some rock

fishing it's not deep this is not a big fish not like that salmon I'll tell ya yeah little rock oh oh it's a kelp greenling

I've been catching these guys kelp greenling are very tasty fish I actually

really enjoy them so I think I might just bonk this guy he's not as big as my

last one the last one I had was way bigger but so beautiful fish a other

type of greenling you're good eating still fighting in the water column so be a little greenling again a little

lingcod I was on the end of a troll almost

what do we got okay a little more spunk in them that's a little lingcod not legal so we're gonna get him going right away I'm

working on a camera boom that's gonna go off here it's coming so here got some

coming in anyway for now it's kind of a rough camera job so I felt some seaweed

oh yeah maybe that's what's throwing me down no I just felt it hit sometimes you

can feel it you can feel your propellers just go from zero to from 100 to like

20 you got some you got some seaweed here we'll get that out of there there

we go oh isn't that awesome that's so sweet that you can just like do that

like that I just love that I mean it's such a sweet setup it just so slick now
