Nice you have a kayak! Hobie Outback! I have the same one the kayak as u and the ride is a bit more wet than other models but long as u have the front hatch sealed and the gasket is good you're golden ! Hope to catch u on the water one day!
Could try to brine your bait. I had a lot of issues with floppy bait until I started brining, then it stays firm but also isn't still frozen when you get out on the water. Sort of a best of both worlds. Great job on that fish!
@@HideshiIzu No particular brands I usually just go for certain colors. I've had good luck with green, blue, and natural shine (which is just a colorless brine) but anything you find at the tackle shop should work. You can dissolve a quarter cup of salt before you put the bait in to make it even tougher.
