Monster Fish

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone else saw the Monster Fish documentry on the National Geographic channel. If not you missed one the ballsiest fly fisherman I have ever seen. Dude goes 40 miles out into the ocean and hooks a 100 hundred poung sailfish and reels it in on a fly rod and reel. But that isn't the amazing thing, he was on an INFLATABLE 10FT KAYAK!!! :bugeyes: He gets the head of the fish on his lap removes the hook and releases it. Just blew my mind and felt the need to share.

Well, he didnt hook the fish in the raft, he hooked it from a big boat, htne hoped into the boat, and while fighting it the boat was only 50 feet away.

 

I though the show was cool, but that part wasnt the best!

I think the point of hopping in the kayak after the hookup was just to let it pull him around during the fight. I bet it was a blast. Billfish on the fly looks like a blast.
