First Kayaking Fishing Trip

Took my 'new to me' kayak out yesterday for some fishing. Caught not only my first bass from a kayak, but my first fish EVER from a kayak. In fact, it was my first time ever fishing from a yak.

I caught it on a jig with a rubber trailer around some submerged trees. I had the jig sitting on the bottom as I was moving the yak into position. I didn't feel the hit, it was VERY subtle and just felt different as I was reeling in. So I set the hook and it felt like a little guy. Boy was I surprised!! I didn't have a scale on me to weigh it but I estimate it around 2 to 3 pounds. Could only fish for about an hour and 45 minutes as it was getting chilly. Now I can't wait for the warm weather!
