We saw the kayaker a couple weeks back. I dunno if it's the same guy, but 2 years ago, when it was lock and load fishing, there was a yakker who landed a few fish. One towed him about 8 miles. I believe he was a toursit from Chicago. (and a dumbass)
He has landed a fish before. He now has a film crew following him, or at least they are talking about making a show out of it. He is permitted and is doing it by the rules. The bitch is not getting out there but getting back...
that guy in the kayak is a friend of a guy I work with most likely. He has caught quite a few tuna's and has been towed for miles sometimes. Told me he has had to paddle for hours to get home and has even had to tape his hands to the paddles as his hands were so wrecked from fish fighting and paddling that it was the only way for him to muster the energy to get home. Guy is going to be filmed by some tv type show my friend told me. Seems crazy to me though. Sorry for redundant info I just read above about the tv crap.

we fished all day last wednesday and thursday with a big fat goose-egg..... never saw any real signs of life (except basking sharks) wherever we went. fished shallow to "deep" (out to 350 ft or so- ) didn't make a difference
