Interesting mindset

Thanks for sharing.

If only La Jolla was 100 miles closer!

Getting on the water is a victory for me. Catching is a bonus.

Go when you can go and focus matters. If you bring a bunch of stuff to catch anything you may end up catching next to nothing. Focus and targeting a species is important.

Personally, I think kayak fishing is less about a 'trophy' fish and more about the adventure and the hunt. Every time you go out you are going on an adventure, hunting for a fish, and to me any fish is a trophy (well maybe not lizardfish )... When I'm out on my kayak, which is not often enough, I'm a world away from traffic, land lubbers and closed in spaces, it is my happy place.

That is awesome. I bet you derive much more happiness out of it, when you do get on the water, than people who are just obsessed with the end result. I personally get immersed in the systems and methodical grind of of it. I get addicted to searching out conditions and bait and checking the different zones and spots and hypothesizing what a mackerel thinks about.

You fish whenever you have time because you know you can catch something great on every trip. And you have awesome results because you have the confidence to dedicate your time 100% to your chosen technique. Only a few others around who consistently slay huge halibut like you do!

Actually Jorge catches most of his trophy Hali's while taking a nap, he's even said so. Congrats Chris on your latest catches. I've been out lately and seen plenty of great trophy fish marks on the FF and had some hits, but it's the bait that's been the hard ones to get even when they are visually there and have Uni Butter on the sabiki feathers. I guess it's time to get some squid to add to the sabiki. Chris did you trade in your Kraken on that used PA 14 at Fast Lane.

Like I said, 100% committed to his technique!

Nope I still have the kraken... but we got the PA14 from Fastlane, it was marked as demo but I dont think it was ever used. We love it! When my wife goes, she gets the PA and I fish the kraken haha. I still use it when the surf is big or if I'm going long distance.
