About half way in and im really enjoying it! This is my first year targeting kings from a kayak, previously fishing pier/harbor/river. Great just watching how you manage your divers, boards, change lures etc. plus 3 lines! Imagine it gets hectic sometimes! Looking forward to watching the rest of it
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the nice comments! My first year was a bit hectic, but the setup now seems to keep lines well separated most of the time. Hope to see ya out on the water!
Good question: there are two vertical rod holders located behind the seat (one to the right and one to the left), and they work great for holding the line high and well away from my other two lines that I have running out the sides with Slide-Divers.
I am using the slightly larger 303D reels, but the 203D should work too. I would lean toward the thinner lines (PowerPro) or thinner mono (12 LB line for example) to make sure you have enough line to let a fish run (and they will). But with a kayak (unlike a boat) it is usually pretty easy to turn around and follow the fish.
Big 26 pound salmon.... maybe where you live. I'm from alaska. That's pretty much an average salmon for me. When you're catching them over 50 lbs let us know. The biggest salmon ever caught with 68 lb. 26 lb is dinner for my family and the neighbors dogs.
Salmon out in the ocean definitely get bigger, I enjoyed reading about Les Anderson's 97 LB king salmon (1985, from the Kenai River). Here on Lake Michigan, 30 LB salmon is considered really big and the record is 47.8 LBS caught on the Michigan side in early August of 2021. Glad you caught a 68 LB salmon, getting one that big out of a kayak would make a great video!
