Mondays aren't really so bad if you get a new kayak.

Nice kayak.  Now you have to decide which kayak to use each time.

Being that it's a fresh boat it isn't properly seasoned with blood and guts. I need to get it stained and stinky so it's going to be my go to boat for a while. The Outback will be my spare for now!

Evan, you can use it today if you want. I don't think I'm fishing today anyway. Just let me know. And yes, those are the red turbo fins. Waxer's didn't have anything else. Brian should have sailing rudders in today, too.

I thought about it, but I dont want to catch the first fish out of your new boat.

Lies! You got scared of sharks! I caught a bullhead yesterday...so the boat is good to go.

I didnt catch a fish today anyway. I fought one for a couple minutes and let it bang its head against to bottom of my kayak for a while before I let it spit the hook out and swim away. I didnt feel like catching a fish anyway.

I like that you 'let' the fish do all of those things. You have an amazing amount of control over the fish you hook into to be able to release them in such a way.

Congrats on the new boat, Ling, and nice report! So many cool folks on this board but you've got to be one of the most zen fishermen I've ever not met, and I mean that as a huge compliment. Way to go looking at all the blessings of the day instead of cursing the seal for doing what they do best (steal fish).

Nice to hear about the Revo - keep up the reports on it. I'd love to pedal one sometime; if I were in the market for a single it would be at/near the top of the list. Maybe next year...
