I headed out this morning in search of another sail. I brought a bag of ballyhoo in case I didn't find my Lys but right off the bat about 30 min into into my paddle I found to big LYs. So I let one go off the back and kept the other on my spinning reel close to my yak . Within minutes a sail comes right up to the close in bait and starts checking it out . I quickly grab the rod and start trying to get line out  to let the Ly swim, then the sail turns away and 3 secs later my other rod starts screaming. So I quickly reel the first line in and just let it swim right next to my yak, I don't want this bait to die. So I grab the rod that's going off and I am not lying I think I was pulled at least 1 mile offshore. After about 30 or so min I get him close to the yak he is lit up and WAY bigger then the sail I got a few days ago. He starts tailwalking in front of me and I was so nervouse he was going to jump right on top of me I quickly let some line out to get him away from me. And then.... I look out of the corner of my eye and I watch a mahi inhale the other ly that is literally inches from my yak and that rod starts sreaming. Now I'm several miles offshore and I have a sailfish at my bow and a mahi peeling drag on my stern. The sailfish is done, so I get him yakside and quickly release him and off he goes. I was exhausted from the sail and then the mahi put up a good fight lots of jumps and finally got him gaffed and in the yak. That was the longest paddle back in fighting north winds but it was and epic day and believe I won't top today for a VERY long time!!!Wish I could have gotten better  pics of the sail so you could see the size of him   _________________ http://www.cavittscustoms.com Last edited by Ernie & Linda on Fri Nov 13, 2009 12:28 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top Rick King Mackerel Joined: 11 Jul 2009 Posts: 181 Location: Windermere, Florida Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2009 1:56 pm    Post subject: That is awesome! 2 sails in a kayak in a week....wow....congrats! _________________ Formally Known as Clubhunter Back to top robertyb Billfish Joined: 10 Apr 2008 Posts: 962 Location: Cedartown, Ga.

Believe me Brad I still am wanting one. Particularly seeing stuff like this. But since I have talked to you last my wife's car threw a rod and I had tomake a down payment on a  new one with the money that I would have used to buy a kayak. Do you have a trade in program that puts nice used Yaks in to your inventory?
