Should have done this years ago

Well I got me a Yak and took it out on its maiden voyage today, This stuff is addicting. It is just a Pelican 116 DLX and not rigged out YET, but the fun has started. Went out on Garcon Pt this AM just to see if I could keep it upright and wet a line. Not much luck but I did manage to boat and release this Ray. Looking forward to hitting Hurricane Lake real soon too.

You've entered a door you can't go back through now.

NICE STINGRAY! You really should get that thing mounted, its a true trophy

Congrats man. You'll enjoy that thing. The 116 was my first yak too.

First thing you have to do is ditch the seat and paddle. Check this out http://www.surftosummit.com/gts-kaya...l2l5l9e33ur393

And I have to say, it's pretty ballsy of you to have pulled that ray into the yak with you. Those and catfish are why I carry a dehooker, can just pop them off right next to the boat.

Welcome,

looks like the barb would be real close to your 'baby makin" parts too!

I have to agree that it was pretty ballsy to bring it onboard but by the angle of the picture it looks like he chased you to the very back of the boat---great balance standing on the back of a Kayak!!!!With balance like that you will have a blast Kayaking!

Awesome! I have this yak too and love it!!! Can't wait to take it out this weekend to the beach and see what I can catch.

Kept him at the bow till I got to shore and was able to get the camera. By the time I got back to the yak he had made his way towards the rear.
