+DCM Nick Hello Nick, thx for the comment / question. We did not actually gaff the shark. When i get some time i'm going to post the end of the video to show what happend. We were using the gaff to pull the treble hook out of the sharks pectoral fin. -JJ

That duo from the one kayak were on the roll...but who with a sane mind will try to gaff a shark! I was waiting to see what happened and then the video ended... Hum! What would've be the end of this story!

RobertTheFisherman - 8 years ago

Those are some nice fish you caught! I was in Destin Florida and I caught a shark and about an 8 pound red snapper.

thanks to Jesus that no sharks attacked :) Jesus made the water and He had those dlphins go see you :) You should thank Him and lay your life down for Him to serve Him, get to know Him! it was cool that you caught a baracuda

What kind of rods do you use offshore

+pimpfist what pound test are your teramars rated for

Thank you, I really enjoy watching your videos

No idea why you're gaffing Cuda, but nice fish

JC - 9 years ago

How far off shore are you fishing at?

pimpfist - 9 years ago

+Joshua Couling Between .5 to 2.5 miles offshore. -JJ

Alexis Garcia - 9 years ago

Thinking of getting a Hobie Mirage Outfitter or Oasis what is a better choice and why?

Alexis Garcia - 9 years ago

Thanks for the feedback:}

pimpfist - 9 years ago

+Alexis Garcia Both are awesome Kayaks! Outfitter is wider and bit more stable. The Oasis is longer and faster but has 2 less built in rod holders. The Oasis also has a bigger weight capacity. I would get the Oasis if fishing offshore since you can cover a lot more ground. -JJ

Carson Autrey - 9 years ago

Nice vid, but one question..... where did you put the fish you caught?

Carson Autrey - 9 years ago

thank you for the tips! +pimpfist

pimpfist - 9 years ago

+Carson Autrey Somtimes we use a cooler bag (if red snapper fishing). We can also put the fish inside the kayak via the hatches. -JJ

Nice Video, Where did you go to get the baitfish?

pimpfist - 9 years ago

+Joseph Hand WE jig up the live bait with a "gold hook" rig or a "sabiki rig". There is always plenty of bait where we fish.

Mason Hamby - 9 years ago

ahhhh the Penn fierce great reel.

mike jayda - 9 years ago

Nice video. Sorry to bug you but I had a quick question is that the outfitter and do you ever use it alone and if so how is it I have a nine year old son and plan on getting one but wanted to know if it is capable of fishing alone as well. Thank you.

pimpfist - 9 years ago

Hello Mike, yes it's the Hobie Outfitter. My buddy has the same kayak and uses it alone. He will put some water in a trash bag to act as ballast in front of the kayak. Here's a video where you can see him soloing in a Hobie Outfitter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlieoQSdbRo

pimpfist - 9 years ago

Thanks BamaBass13, we can't wait either! Hopefully it will warm up soon! -JJ

Steve Crawford - 9 years ago

couple questions
1.) are you on a man made reef or something. and what time of year was that. didnt know red snapper and fish other than spanish & ladyfish & pompano could be caught inshore
2.) What was your rig setup
3.) can an inflatable raft with trolling motor handle the currents out there
4.) what was that thing a tuna?

Thanks! great destin video.. cant wait till

pimpfist - 9 years ago

1. Yes we fish on "concrete pyramid" reefs and also a sunken tug boat wreck.
2. For bottom fishing, we are using a Carolina rig with egg weight, 40lb fluorocarbon leader and circle hook.
3. I would not go out in the Gulf on a raft with trolling motor except on maybe the best of days. The current and wind can change at any time.
4. Blackfin Tuna.

Check the Pensacola fishing forum "kayak section". There's a wealth of information there! -JJ

YakinTheGulf - 10 years ago

pimpfist - 10 years ago

Mike R - 10 years ago

Great video guys. Look like Pro's. Was wondering if there is a Hobie club up there in Destin? I am from New Smyrna Beach/Oak hill area of Florida. I have a tandem hobie kayak. I have plenty of experience on the Lagoon down here fighting trout and redfish. Been down to the Keys before a few times, didn't catch anything like that though.

But would have no idea where to start up there in Destin. I am sure some months are better than others, out going tide better than incoming one, average surf to look for, off shore wind or on shore wind....any advise would be very much appreciated. We are planning a trip up to Pensacola in a month or two, would love to fish Destin for a day or two. Would like to be in a kayak friendly area.

pimpfist - 10 years ago

Hi MIke, check the Pensacola fishing forum kayak section, you can find out anything you need to know there. If you are in Pensacola, the Navarre area is one of the best locations for kayak fishing on the Emerald Coast. -JJ

flowmaster1521 - 10 years ago

Looking to purchase my first kayak ever and I know I'm going hobie I weigh about 250 do you have any suggestions

pimpfist - 10 years ago

Can't go wrong with any of the Hobies. Hobie Outbback, Hobie Revolution, Hobie Pro Angler.

What type of hobie kayak were you using in the video?

Hello and thanks for the questions! We are fishing in Destin, Florida (Emerald Coast). I'm fishing in a Tandem Hobie Outfitter kayak. In the video there are also Hobie Outbacks and Hobie Pro Anger 14. -JJ

pimpfist - 10 years ago

We do almost all of our fishing in depths of 25 to 60 feet.

Brett Chambers - 10 years ago

Is this the GoPro hero 3+ Black?? Wanting to buy a gopro but dont know if I need the quality of the Black or if I should go for the Silver!

Jeff Moore - 10 years ago

+pimpfist So does the black

pimpfist - 10 years ago

I would get the Black edition now that i know how to use it properly. The White sucks in low light..

pimpfist - 10 years ago

This is the White edition lol ! -JJ

Scott Vogel - 10 years ago

What kind of bait fish was that you were catching at the beginning of the video?

pimpfist - 10 years ago

The first bait dangling is a scaled sardine, locally known as "LY". Flopping in the kayak is a hard tail or "blue runner". The two identical baits pulled up are cigar minnows. There is also a shot of a hard tail being pulled up with some other trash fish. -JJ

John Lyons - 10 years ago

Awesome vid man and awesome fishing. I was there two weeks ago. Highlight of the trip was a 35 lb cobia. My sister-in-law grabbed the camera to get me fighting it but she had it zoomed in too close and the video was useless.

pimpfist - 10 years ago

That sux! Would have like to have seen that footage! -JJ

pimpfist - 10 years ago

Thanks! Good Luck and enjoy your trip! -JJ

Snugglebear - 10 years ago

Great vid man, but why would you gaff a cuda or a shark?

pimpfist - 10 years ago

Hi Snugglebear, thanks for the comment. The Cuda swallowed the a live hardtail and was hooked deep with two treble hooks / bleeding badly. We never actually gaffed the shark. We were trying to pull the hook out of its pectoral fin since it was our last rig. The shark ended up popping off and swam away to fight another day! -JJ
