I want the whole world to know how grateful I am to Allen Sansano, Annie Nagel, and Robert Field for being the executive committee for USA Saltwater Kayak Fishing.. this is a huge mission we are trying to accomplish.. and there is absolutely no way I could do this on my own or nor would I want to.. together we are working hard to build the path forward for USA anglers.. and we couldn’t have done this without the support of USAngling and there dedicated staff.. they say it takes a village.. and I am here to say it does.. without these folks, the sport would not be headed in this direction.. thank you Tony Forte and Michael Brand for giving us this platform to grow our passion.. together we succeed.. mahalo

I finally got a chance to get out kayak fishing last Saturday.. the weather guy lied.. lol.. winds were supposed to be light but was 20mph plus.. good thing I have a Hobie AI sailing kayak.. bait was hard to find, and hard to catch.. bait wasn’t biting good and it was pretty rough and hard to keep the sabiki rig up and down.. I managed 3 baits.. I trolled them back and forth on the ledge and lost 2 baits to sharks.. later towards the major bite I took a massive Ono (wahoo) strike that stripped out 200 yards on my Daiwa LD 60 like it was nothing.. then it came back at me like an ono does.. then did another blistering 100 yard run before coming undone.. uhhhgg that’s fishing!! Mid day and out of bait I went inshore and out of the rough seas.. inshore was smoother water and windy, but made for great sailing and lure trolling speeds… I ran a Yozuri floating deep diver and a silver clear hookup baits to my final destination… it was near the end of my run when I got 2 buzzer beaters.. the small African Pompano on a hookup baits which I would have let go but it was badly hooked in the eye.. and a bigger stronger blue fin trevally on the Yozuri deep diver which put up a good fight… the small kagami made an excellent pan fry.. I pan fried the belly and cheeks of the blue fin.. and the rest I am making into blue fin trevally sashimi Baja style. Blessed to put some dinner on the table.. aloha

Last Sunday I had the privilege to hang out with the Oahu Pelagic Pirates at there latest Saltwater Kayak Fishing Tournament. These guys have been setting a positive vibe and have been growing the sport on the island of Oahu. I was able to share some Yak Attack gear for the raffle and some info about the USA Kayak Fishing Saltwater regional qualifier series coming up soon in Maui. Through this Maui regional qualifier in October, the top 10 kayak anglers will be selected to the National Championship. The top anglers of our National Championship will be selected to the USA National Team and compete at the Pan American and World championships for Team USA. Here’s are few pics of the event last Sunday. A few nice fish were caught including a small marlin for the win. Good work Max and crew. Congrats to all the anglers..
