That fish outgunned me + Amas saved me from flipping

In this Seagull fishing episode, I went out Kayak fishing in an attempt to catch my first pelagic species of the year. I start off with catching Mackerel Scad (Opelu) to use as my bait. I ended up hooking a few delicious by-catch, Hellers barracuda (Kawalea) and Rainbow Runner(Kamanu). 10 Minutes after catching the Rainbow Runner the winds shot up to 25-30 knots and the swells picked up to 5ft. Concerned for the safety of my friends and I, I decided to call it a short day and head back to shore. Despite the heavy winds and swells, all my friends landed some fish so I decided to show you all their catch as a bonus footage. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy this episode!

Great fishing you should put pool noodle on your fishing rods especially your talica 25

[@seagullfishinghawaii8304]

I definitely must do it soon. Or at least start tying my rods down. I set such a bad example for the new kayakers huh? 😓😫

Cheee!!

[@CrazyLocoFishing]

Bro u catch so many rainbow runners wtf lol, what's the trick for rainbows

[@seagullfishinghawaii8304]

Hmm, I find quite a bit of my rainbows around bait piles (Opelu) I'm not doing anything special but dropping down my bait with a poor mans down rigger when I mark the predators next to the schools of bait.
