Stand Up Kayak Fishing Movie From Korea

Sungjin posted this new kayak fishing movie, featuring local kayak anglers:
It’s the rain season in Korea now, and powerful rainstorms are frequent. But although the wind is blowing hard, the anglers in Sungjin’s movie are seen fishing and paddling standing up in their W kayaks, undaunted and hardly disturbed at all.
One of the W500 kayaks is outfitted with a powerful outboard gas engine. We hope to get some video of this beast in action!

Rox and Lisa Stand Up Kayak Fishing Adventures, Connecticut

But all was well, I untied her and off she went. She paddled for about 20 minutes and was feeling very confident, and asked if she could stand. I told her to take it slow, and if at any moment she felt unstable, to sit down. Next thing you know, she is paddling standing up like she has been doing it all her life.
Next she tried fishing and casting standing and did great. She lost her balance only once, while making a cast, and did as I told her, she sat. It was a wonderful day, sunny, slight winds and many fish were caught.

Though I did not get a chance to take a picture of Lisa’s fish, she was too far away and released them quickly.

I did catch a few nice Large Mouth Bass, all caught on a Rapala floater that I custom painted in a Baby Bass color. (Rapala does not make one)

I was very pleased that the added weight of my paint job did not hurt the action of the lure, it did change it just a little, it made it wobble a little more in the rear while retrieving it slowly on the surface which resulted in many …………………..BAM’S!!!!!!!

I have the picture of the lure with the small largemouth bass, and me holding up a 2 1/2 lb LMB that slammed it three cast later. :) Continue reading
