From hook-up to the yak, this was a typically tough battling kingi. Enjoy the video

What does it look like when a mako chases your jighead underwater? This short video from my kayak is a good example.

Multiple kingis chasing our live mullet with eventual hookup and landing on camera.

A serious-sized double of gurnard from my kayak tops off a good day. Yep, those are big carrots!

What it looks like when a crayfish is having a crack at your bait. Both from underwater and the rod on the boat...

Here's a great little instructional video for rigging up and targeting gurnard
