Biggest fish I’ve ever landed on a kayak

Grab a seat on the couch and enjoy this special New Years Eve catch. Personal Best fish from the kayak hands down! Fish was landed on super light tackle - Falcon HD Medium Rod, Pflueger President 2000 reel paired with 10lb Kast King Super Power Braid and a 15lb Triple Fish monofilament leader tied up with an FG knot! Lure was a Salt Strong Power Prawn USA Jr on a Hoss Helix 3/0 - 1/8oz weighted weedless hook.
I am a kayak fisherman using mostly if not all, artificial lures, popping corks, berkley gulp on a light inshore rod and reel setup with 10lb Daiwa J or Berkely Power Pro braided fishing line. My rods of choice are Cajun Custom and Falcon HD rods. I use Daiwa a Regal 2500, Pflueger President 30 and various Penn Reels. I target redfish, speckled trout, flounder and big ugly black drum.
You'll most likely find me Kayak Fishing in Corpus Christi, Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Portland, Mustang Island, Wilsons Cut, Fish Pass, Kates Hole, Wolfview Park and other saltwater fisheries in South Texas
I've been an avid Kayak Angler since June of 2022 and am constantly soaking up fishing knowledge to further my experience on the water going after redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead and whatever else may come my way! Thank you for watching/subscribing, and as always, comments are always welcomed and I will answer every single one.
Thank you for stopping in!

Pa*Pow PP Jr for the PB HOG of a Big Ugly in the Yak!! Nice Job!

[@southtexasoutdoor5484]

Thank you Neal. Yep those junior lures are capable of catching all sorts of fish!

[@kennylove188]

Great job on fighting that Big Red ! Those over-slot Reds are real bruisers, and they are a real hand-full. Caught a 44" Red fishing Galveston beachfront before Christmas, and it took forever to land that monster.

[@southtexasoutdoor5484]
