I'm very happy to have caught and boated my first halibut, but as you can see from the last pic, I was not in a kayak.  We were fishing 31/36 which I would say is almost not doable in a yak, well for most of us not doable.  12+ mile round trip, likely with headwinds on the way home. 

Still hoping to be part of the yak butt club this year.

tastes just as good whether its caught from a PB or a kayak.  Nice!
"A venturesome minority will always be eager to get off on their own,
and no obstacle should be placed in their path;
let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned,
eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."
