Hard earned reds

Hard earned indeed! I had the brilliant idea of runing down to the Wakulla river,borrowing a kayak and PADDLING all the way to...wait I cant say but well past the lower bridge lol all after I got off the bus. With a bit of doubt, I went through with it and was greeted with gail force winds when I arrived at the river 
I thought...I have to do what I have to do if I want to be the best 
So I embarked on my journey with a stradic Ci4 and terramar combo(bring little equiptment on short outings) ready to find some reds! An hour later and I made it! Wasting no time, I chunk, retrive, and repeat. With nothing but PESKY ladyfish! I put down my rod and pick up my paddle and this is what I saw... 8O
YEA! So I make a dash for a near by dock to wait out the rain and it never came... after about 10 minutes I figure out that I have just wasted 10 minutes looking at a wall of fog!
I cautiously enter the thick haze anchor up on a suspicious looking spot and 1st cast ZZZZZ got one on 
the weight has just been lifted but no time to waste! I quickly get a pic and go back for more! Twitch twitch boom! ZZZZ another! I just went from zero to hero just like tht lol.
and ofcourse another...
I attempted a self shot...But is 100x easier with a 360
this went on until dark with a dink or two mixed in ofcourse. I was kicking the guys butt fishing with live bait casting RIGHT next to my yak saying sorry a few times because he alost me
All fish were on Strike King paddle Tail with a Strike King 1/4 oz jig ranging from 18"-25" but were exceptionally strong from swiming in the current of the river for a while. Awesome afternoon! :mrgreen:
