First Kayak Fishing Video

Hit Merwin Reservoir again today and finally got into my first Cascadia kokanee. I had caught a few of these on Blue Mesa Reservoir back in Colorado during my undergraduate days. It was a great day to be on the water. Ran into another kayak fisherman out there making his first attempt at Merwin as well. I put together my first yak fishing video from my time out on the water today. Enjoy.

Nice job!  Love the production company name!

Good start! Nothing like fresh kokanee---mmm!

Thanks for the hoochie and on-water tips.  It was nice to meet you yesterday. 

I wasn't on the water until late, and my"school o' minnows" troll with a small spinner down 50' wasn't working.  After meeting you, I switched to the blade/hoochie combo, but no luck.  Probably didn't have the depth/speed dialed in.  Nonetheless, it was a beautiful, windless, drizzly day and we owned the lake most of the time!

Nice job Tyler! Great video too

Great video!  Thanks for sharing!

Nice kokes and video.

Great job on the catching and video!!! Love the production name!!  Keep'em coming!!

Also,I see you're in the neighborhood....was marking alot of fish in the North Fork Lewis saturday...no fish in boat for me (2 hits). Caught 2 bright coho last saturday...wishin  I could spend more time there right now.

Cool video! I know it takes work to edit it down and all that, so thanks. And thanks for showing what you used - very helpful. I might have to try for some Kokanee - looks like good eating!

Tiger Muskies in WA? I had no idea! That is sweet... never caught one, always wanted to. Will have to go on the list...

Very cool! It's final...I'm getting a GoPro!

Actually I believe that did happen to me the first time I fished there. I was trolling about 30 yards offshore when all of sudden my light tightens. At first I think maybe I had hooked a log or a rock but then it start running out into the middle of the lake and going deep. I follow it around for a few minutes not really gaining much line. Then I tried to pull up on it to move it towards the surface and the fish wasn't going to have any that! My rod bends in a U as the drag screams and then snap. Gone! So if anyone out there catches a muskie with a pink hoochie in its mouth I want it back.

That is a cool video man. Keep it up i ordered a camerathis year for myself as a xmas gift. I want to make some videos too. Nice fish
