Trolled a cigar Minnow from the yak about 40 yards past the second sand bar! Biggest king I have caught on the yak by my self! Kinda tricky landing a smoker by yourself but worth the satisfaction!

      Good luck man! Biggest thing is having a reel with good drag because those fish will make any reel scream! Haha @yakattacker24

      Down the fish then the third I leave trailing in case I get a short bite but most hook ups happen on the second hook. Then I just slowly troll around. Took about ...more 10 minutes until this guy hammered it!

      The next two are treble hooks. I hook the j hook through the side of the face below the eyes because there lips tear very easily then the second hook through the ...more top of the back a little over half way

      The fight was great! I caught like a 4- 5 inch cigar minnow on a sabiki rig then took a kin mackerel rig which is a 3 foot metal leader with 3 hooks in a row at ...more the end the first is just a j hook then

      Yeah he pulled me around me pretty good. Once I tightened the drag down on him I was pretty much skipping across the water! And well we have 3 kayaks. 2 ocean kayak ...more Malibu two xl's and

      I caught it from the kayak. I trolled with the bait and caught when I was about 40 yards out side the second sand bar. I landed him and brought him in the kayak ...more before heading in @jacob_new
