Fish Of A Lifetime vs. Your Life

Key West Kayak Fishing

www.AllAboutTheBait.com Today I wanted to focus my attention on Pinfish. Because the rudder on the Hobie was destroyed, making it virtually useless in the wind and current, I decided to take out the Tarpon 140 paddling kayak for a quick Tarpon session. While out on the water I was fortunate enough to hook into a Tarpon. To many, it is a once in a lifetime catch. While fighting the Tarpon, a storm rolled through making it very sketchy. I had to decide whether to keep fighting the fish and risk the storm, or break it off and get back to the safety of the launch. Sometimes, those types of decisions have to be made and you need to have a clear head to make them. Fish safely.

If you know fish will be that big why don't you use heavy gear and baitcaster? You're using a light set up to catch giant size fish. It's like using a bb gun to try and kill a 1000 pound moose.

Lightening aint no joke. A tree next to my house got hit yesterday complete with burning bark and smoke in the middle of a heavy down pour. Two more strikes very close and I could hear a tick from my main breaker box a fraction of a second before the thunder. The power is amazing when your 50 feet from a strike.

K H - 5 years ago

Love your videos dude! I'm up in the panhandle and don't have a lot of time to get out in the gulf, but I always enjoy having a beer after work and living vicariously through your recorded escapades :).

Mark Mondrinos - 5 years ago

Between this one and the nighttime tarpon when you wound up getting pulled wayyyy out, I'd have to say that you have the most extreme kayak fishing channel on yt. You are always super calm and clear-minded whenever it gets sketchy. Around the 14 min mark I was like ok he needs to get out of there. Pretty hardcore man!

Raye Hyson - 5 years ago

Thank you for showing in the footage that you made it back ok. I would have broken him off way earlier. I am not a Patron but what is the cost of an anchor I would def like to assist if not get it for you. Thank you very much for moving back to the fishing videos instead of the t-shirt videos. Your catch and cooks are my favorite so more of those would be appreciated. Side Note haw do you cook, clean, and eat tarpin?

No need to be afraid of that...hell I done paddled right next to gators...even slapped a couple with my paddle and they swam right off. There isn't very many animals in this world who are gonna just go attack you unless that is their last result. Most want nothing to do with you

Abercrombie Fuffufnick - 5 years ago

rammizle - 5 years ago

It depends which Kayak you get and how far you wander on your own. If possible always go out with a partner, life jackets, waterproof mobile and just check out the tide timings online for the area where you want to fish. I am not promoting Hobie Kayaks, but I have a 2016 Outback from Hobie and these things are super steady and if you even want a more room and stability you could go for the Pro Angler models for example. Point is Kayak fishing is awesome and depends what you are fishing for, I wouldn't want a tarpon on my line from a Kayak either :D

Chaos Paddlers - 5 years ago

Captain Cocoa Puffs well of course but I said some kinda mammal or something haha thanks for Clarifying that up for me

You are nuts....get out of that storm! We want more vids! Though fishing would be the way to go for me!

Greg Phillips - 5 years ago

Smart move. I probably would’ve broke him off sooner. I also would’ve put the rods down in the boat. Have you seen the aftermath of lightning hitting a fishing rod. Not pretty. Besides, I’ve had a couple extremely close calls with lightning. Good vid. Better luck next time.

Bart Simpson - 5 years ago

Nice vid, man. I proably would have been too greedy and kept going.

Matt's Saltwater Fishing - 5 years ago

That was an intense fight, definitely being out on the water during a storm with a lightning rod in your hand isn't the safest thing to do lol.

I was down in late March early April. It was amazing. I stayed around Cudjoe Key. I really want to go back and get on a Tarpon. I was in a Pelican Catch 120 and had a great time. Really want to go back with a motor.

Hey Steve..got my mullet shirt!! I'm sure you thought of it, but a drift sock or bucket will really increase your drag to help you whoop them pulling fish faster. I know you like the ride tho..

Kayak, Carbon fiber rod, Thunder & lightning hmmmm? Sounds perfectly safe to me :)

Trojs Fishing - 5 years ago

Lightening will hit the highest point sitting in the middle of the ocean holding a rod makes you the highest point apparently carbon fiber has similar conductive properties as metal maybe not as good but it wont matter if a bolt of lightning hits it.

That would have been a fish of my lifetime. It looked you tightened down on the drag to speed up the process (either land the fish or break off) but since I dont get the opportunity to fight a tarpon like that... i probably would have kept up with the fight and dealt with the storm. Nice job Steve... always entertaining.
