Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing the nice pics with us. It looks like you have the technique down for the line stretchers.

Good job on getting them with the Yak.

As much as we love pictures here, we need to try and keep them to around the 400 to 450 pixels wide range. It is too hard to reply when they get to big. Thanks for sharing.[cool]

I gotta wonder... How far did that fish Drag you. A fish that big has got to be pulling that Yak all over the place.

You know that certain speed where Kayaks start to get some noise and whitecap in their wake... ever had a fish pull you fast enough to do that?

We get some nice Thresher Sharks on the West Coast. They are usually good for a good 1/2 mile of line screaming, Yak splashing fun before they turn around and go the other way.[laugh]

Wow, tarpon from a Tarpon. How long is your Tarpon? (the yak)

I just acquired my first ever sit-on-top. It's a Tarpon 120. In the pictures yours looks the same but you probably have the 14. It doesn't look like a 16 in the pics. whatever size your Tarpon yak. Those fish must have given you a heck of a sleighride. Congratulations!
