An Yung Haseo!

Howdy, from the Land of the Morning Calm...er..."Land of the not quite right".  Been all over the world, currently stationed in Korea.  Did a bunch of kayak fishing on the east coast, mostly Maryland, but some down in the Keys too.  Went up to Alaska (Homer mostly) quite a few times, when my folks had a lodge and charter boat up there.  No impressive yak fishing pics, but a couple from trips out with dad on his boat.







I did catch these Carp on a cicada pattern I tied; from my kayak:



Anyho, just thought I'd put an intro thread together to say hi, and cudos on one of the best yak fishing forums I've found. 

Nice pics and hello to you 

Nice buts, but I am curious - do you have a decent carp recipe? I hear there is potential in those critters.  Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the site!

Welcome.

That skate is huge!!

I've heard they're good canned.  My wife wanted them, she made some kind of soup...it didn't smell good so I didn't try it.  Which is counter intuitive to most Korean food; "Smells bad, taste good".

Welcome.

That is or was my biggest ever...way more work than I wanted while halibut fishing.

Going back though some of the pictures, I think this was one of the biggest we caught off of Dad's boat:



246# IIRC, it was a monster.

Man! That's not a barn door, it's a blimp hanger door! How big was Dad's boat?

41 foot, with twin 410hp Luggers, lol:





It's a sweet boat, he still owns it, it's sitting in dry-dock since the economy went in the toilet.

Dad had a little boat before he got the big boat.  "Miss-N-Cash" was only a 29 footer, o.k. to fish off of, but like a bobber in a typhoon compared to the  Pinnacle.

Funny part is, after my first trip to AK, my mom said something to effect: "you're spoiled now, you won't be able to go back to fishing fresh water."  I bought my first kayak two weeks later, and went back to fishing for crappie and bass.

Now that the folks moved back to the lower 48, dad has too.

I guess we just like to fish.

They are marketed as "Silver Fin".

Miss-N-Cash is a great name!
