Now there are some old salts who will look down their nose at you because you "are not really kayaking." To them I say, "Do you want to kayak, or do you want to fish?" They are probably all sponsored by Ocean Kayak anyway... Otherwise they would be in a Hobie.

Hmmm... who could you be referring to?    For the record, I don't look down at Hobie owners for "not really kayaking".  Actually, I look down on them for their apparent lack of upper body strength and for spending twice as much money as they should have to go kayak fishing.   Truth be told, the Hobie kayaks do seem to be great at keeping your hands free so that you can constantly play around with your dual and triple GoPro set ups.   :)
Biting the hand that feeds, eh? Tisk tisk, Brian! There I am with my gopros shooting pictures and video of you getting into some sexy salmon action and this is what I get? I'll remember that next time you need fresh media to appease your Johnson Outdoors people.

They do get heavy, what, with all their Jing Tinglers, Flu Floopers, Tar Tinkers, Who Hoovers, Gar Ginkers, Trum Tupers, Slu Slumkers, Blum Bloopers, Who Wompers, Zu Zitter Carzay, and Who Carnio Flunx.  A fella could throw his back out just dragging all the gear to the beach on his sleigh.
There is a tragic lack of rhythm and rhyming in this Seuss-esque list of gear. For SHAME, Lee!

Opps, my bad.  Looks like I dragged Rawkfish into this first.

I don't know about you guys, but I always power clean/military press my kayak onto the top of my rig. That takes some serious upper body strength  :banjo:

Hahahahaha!  Mission accomplished.  You guys are great.
I would much rather be up a creek without a paddle than down one.

I was impressed with your wittiness until you caved and gave up the truth. 

Shame on you Lee!  ;D

Bsteves ....
I think you may have been falsely dragged into this mess.
Because what I think he meant to say was 'old salts that fish more than once a year' so clearly you are off the hook and the jab was intended for our esteemed Mr Polepole ... Who just wishes he had a hobie so he could catch halibut like Rudy! [emoji2]

INSAYN, I was trying to flip it for a $100 profit.... the vet/OK Prostaff deal is $200 off.   ::)

Seriously though, just doing my part to keep this classified ad on the top of the unread posts.  I'm sure someone is going to get a great deal here.
