CATCH PHOTOGRAPH RELEASE


PABLO HEIN SANTA TERESA, COSTA RICA


When Martin Petterson visited from Sweden, Pablo took him fishing for bluewater bruisers. “We only fished 10 minutes before a 30-pound roosterfish jumped out of the water.” That fish spit the bait. Fifteen minutes later, Pablo hooked this monster amberjack. PHOTO: MARTIN PETTERSON

QUINTON ECHOLS SCIOTO RIVER, OHIO


“As soon as I tied on my lure, the downpour began,” Quinton says. Despite the flash-flood risk, Quinton was hesitant to leave. “I absolutely crushed the smallies that day,” he laughs. This fish measured almost 19 inches. “My personal best for the river.” PHOTO: QUINTON ECHOLS


BRITTANY HAMMAC PENSACOLA, FLORIDA


Hobie pro Brandon Barton sent this shot of Brittany with her 24-inch slot redfish; her first redfish caught on topwater. “Now she has the kayak fishing bug,” Brandon says. PHOTO: BRANDON BARTON


LANDON MACE HOGTOWN BAYOU, FLORIDA 70…KAYAK ANGLER 70…KAYAK ANGLER


When he couldn’t wake up the reds with a topwater lure, Landon switched to a weedless soft plastic. “I felt a knock on the line and I set the hook,” he recalls. After a short fight, Landon brought this 24-inch red to the kayak. PHOTO: LANDON MACE


AARON LADUKE ELKHEAD RESERVOIR, COLORADO


Aaron caught this 33-inch pike on a Rat-L-Trap. He tells us that Colorado Fish and Wildlife is considering poisoning and draining the lake to protect endangered species in the nearby Yampa River. “This fish symbolizes our efforts to find a better solution.” PHOTO: JASON LENIGER


JAY MARTIN EAST MATAGORDA BAY, TEXAS


ROB VALDERREY FT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA


“The day started at 5:30 a.m. with breakfast on a sandbar,” Jay writes. The morning was pretty, but the bite was slow until Jay hooked into this nine-pound redfish. “My best slot red,” he says, “it came in just under 28 inches.” PHOTO: DUSTIN KOREBA


“I was trolling a jerkbait along the mangroves when I felt my reel take off and I was hooked,” Rob writes in an email. This was his first big snook in the kayak, “So it means a lot.” PHOTO: KWANZA “KAYAKING” HENDERSON


RUDY TSUKADA COOK INLET, ALASKA


JOE GUGINO BEVERLY, MASSACHUSETTS


Joe writes about this 30-pound striped bass: “The topwater explosion was awesome…as was the fight!” The fish is Joe’s personal best bass. PHOTO: WILL BERINGER


Beginner’s luck: Photographer Seiya Hanzawa had never fished for halibut and had never fished out of kayak. Rudy changed that. “We both caught fish in the 30-pound range,” Rudy brags. The pair was fishing large herring in 50 feet of water. PHOTO: SEIYA HANZAWA
