[@blackpickle99]

Your friend from Honduras is the best hype man

[@YakFishField]

Haha yes he is!

[@nasaman5843]

For real lol

[@reelyrealfishing2397]

You can do it!!

[@BlacktipH]

Broooooo, that’s a giiiiiiant!!! 🔥

[@olokie1413]

Hey Vic don't quit the chefs job!

[@olokie1413]

Sorry wrong shark?

[@alonso9819]

Holy shitt??😦

[@YakFishField]

It was rad dude! Now I gotta come get on one of those goliaths or Monster sharks you’re always pulling up...

[@DannyCal]

why did i just read this in your voice....lmao

[@robertbuchanan4378]

How that fish didn't flip your kayak is beyond me, great catch.

[@curtisg.8671]

What made the suspense even greater is when you stated how you had to get in because of the tide and waves coming back in. I never thought it was going to show and man when it did, epic Rooster Rob.

[@YakFishField]

Yeahhhh man normally it’s no big deal because we launch and land in a protected cove, but this day the swell was BIG. You can’t tell in the video because they’re big spread out rollers, but we were marking 12 footers all day. The reef still protected us but it was big back at the beach. I didn’t have my camera rolling for the worst of it so I could concentrate on helping the clients. All totally worth it in the end!

[@Irelandrbi]

Dude! Your evil laugh at 2:30 says it all. The Tug is the Drug ! Good stuff.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha yep!

[@LADY_DULCE]

That guide is THE nest! Made it even more entertaining to hear him yelling like that.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha Kevin’s the man and has become a very close friend. Just stayed at him and his girl’s house when I was in Panama City a few weeks ago

[@RadReelingFishing]

The master of suspense! That was such an amazing catch. You had me holding my breath a couple of times. You are awesome dude!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man! That fish had me holding my breath too a few times haha

[@luischavez2595]

Panama series are the best kayak fishing series...EVER! Keep up the kick ass videos!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Luis, glad you’re enjoying em!

[@K-OT1C]

Nice Rooster bro. Panama is definitely on my bucket list. Whoever hit the thumbs down on this video are only the jealous ones. Keep em coming I'll keep watching.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks brother, hope to see you out there one day!

[@BH-rm1ch]

15:47 “ok, I see you” 😂😂🤣🤣

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha

[@Signal1072]

That excitement is passion in its purist form

[@YakFishField]

Indeed 🙌🏼

[@sambonarki]

Love seeing people actually fishing catch and release great going guys cracking fish

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Sam

[@theawkwardoutdoorsman8329]

My biggest fish ever is a 50+ pound stingray I hooked off the beach. I was using a cheap $15 Shakespeare Catfish reel and a 10 foot surf rod that I got from a garage sale.............I had been catching all kinds of nice fish (under 10 pounds) off the beach, and then the ray hit! Fought him for about 15-20 min off the beach using 50 pound braid with a 20 pound leader and finally landed him. That was the most insane fight I have ever had with a fish and my biggest fish to date! Biggest freshwater fish was a 12.05 pound carp I sight fished out of a river on a 6'6" Walmart spinning rod and a Casting 2000 size reel..........yeah I seem to always catch big fish on cheap gear lol! Great video Robert!

[@YakFishField]

Those are some fights!!

[@higenhatayama3551]

Your new guide had the best reaction ever 😂

[@YakFishField]

Haha yeah Kevin’s awesome

[@lookin2kayakandbike664]

OMG... Robert!!!!!!!!!! Huge dude!!!!!!!!! Congrats on an amazing Rooster. So awesome man. 👍

[@YakFishField]

Thanks bro!!

[@joeanthony9162]

Who the hell said it couldn't get better!?!! Robert, that was definitely a PB, bro! Badass job amigo! Tight lines never stop!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Joe! 2nd biggest rooster in lodge history 💪🏼

[@joeanthony9162]

Robert Field , hell yeah budd! I'll get through this year and then I can leave this to my managing staff, and I'm hitting the water brother! I love your show man, and I follow as much as I can, can't wait for more bro, til then, tight lines never stop!

[@nathanvanprooyen2312]

Roberto! KZbin sensation! Dude. That was crazy. Congrats.

[@YakFishField]

Haha thanks Nathan

[@SHIMCAL]

That hands down one of your best videos Robert. Loved all the back story

[@YakFishField]

Thanks my man! I appreciate that and glad you enjoyed it

[@MitchBradshaw]

What a fish! I definitely have some new Bucketlist species after watching your Panama vids. Keep it up man!

[@YakFishField]

Whenever you're ready to scratch a few species off that list, just email [e-mail]. Tell them you want to go with me and they'll put you on one of my trips. Hope to see you out there!

[@Popesmokes1]

KZbin Sensation! Kevin wasn’t lying. Great video Robert

[@YakFishField]

Hahahah thanks Brian!

[@Madbusop718]

DAMN, man that's the best Kayak catch and release video I've seen on KZbin. Awsome job.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Eric!

[@andrewhelton1289]

The giggles in the beginning were great 👍

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha you can always tell when I'm REALLY having fun, because the schoolgirl giggle comes out. Wish I could break that habit, haha.

[@Ariautoace]

That has to be biggest Rooster. Well done!!!!

[@YakFishField]

She was a brute!

[@workdragoon9484]

[@YakFishField]

Can’t fake that kind of reaction haha. Thanks for tuning in every week Paul!

[@christophermoffitt9044]

Its great to see you guys catch and release. Its proof that we can have fun without destruction.

[@YakFishField]

Absolutely man! I keep fish sometimes but usually I release everything

[@mstrgraff]

A literal monster! Great video Robert! Really enjoyed the group recap at the end too. Can't wait for next week!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Brendan! It’s back to the U.S. next week, I’ll be posting the last two vids from this trip in July to spread them out a bit.

[@mstrgraff]

Robert Field Awesome! I imagine stretching em out is also how you get some well deserved vacation time!

[@dd214fishing]

You continue to impress the Kayak fishing community, and I now understand after buying a kayak how hard it really is to fight any fish from a Kayak. Real fishermen do it in a Kayak!!! that's my though and i am sticking to it. Now for the young lady who is breaking barriers showing that you love fishing just like you love that young man. Marriage is about compromise and you are the ultimate angler, Congratulations hope too see your wedding on you tube some day.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the kind words brother. It’s definitely more fun in a kayak!

[@datboyvon9688]

All i know is you waited to see what was down there the whole time *and it was worth it*

[@YakFishField]

Haha hell yeah!

[@thepassionoffishinglapassi4308]

Wow that was a GIANT nice video buddy TIGHT LINES

[@philsbs2007]

People really, really, do not understand how hard it is to stay on a 3 by 16 foot floating platform while wrestling with a fish that big. Awesome video!😃

[@RCRidgecrestQuality]

Phillips Va. Fishing Channel His kayak is maybe 3 feet wide but only 12 feet long

[@YakFishField]

[@jakewkayakfishing8457]

That was a beast rooster! I just glanced at the thumbnail before clicking and thought it was a tarpon.

[@YakFishField]

I WISH man. That species still eludes me. I’m 0-14 on them haha

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

Damn I was late to the field trip ! I’m here now Robert ! Man that look so fun ! Nothing like seeing them big fish smashing on bait. I love it when the reel starts screaming fun ! Ouw Mother ! Nice 👍 insane Monster Rooster! Awesome 👏🏽 PB!

Haha it was a catch I'll never forget

[@RiverCertified]

I continue to miss the salt. Nothing fights like fish in the ocean. Can't imagine what fighting a rooster like that would be! Monster!

[@YakFishField]

Saltwater is definitely exciting in that you just never know what you might hook into. This fish was nuts.

[@olokie1413]

Great fish bro,Good vid really enjoyed watching!

[@YakFishField]

Thank you!

Stumbled upon your channel, feel like I know you very well already. You’re hilarious man. Love your channel! Keep on fishin brother

[@whiskeywhisperer6528]

As always bro great video! Biggest for me is an approximately 6 ft nurse shark by st George island FL. 1 of my best nights though was sitting at a beach in staten island for about 10 hrs and just when I was packing up.....click click CLICK ....FISH ON! 38 1/2 striper followed by 2 30 inch blues. That's the thing about fishing, you never know what kind of a day it will be. Anyway...my apologies for rambling on but it's cold in nyc and I'm missing being out there but thanks to you I get to sit here and enjoy quality fishing. Ok done lol..... thank you Robert Campos lol

[@JohnLee-vl8qk]

Looking good brother! That’s awesome!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks John!

[@brianwalsh7931]

Very cool! I knew it wasn’t a marlin because they always fight on the surface, never straight down. We have roosters in Hawaii too, but rare. That’s like our Ulua. Nice job Robert. That looked fun. Kinda nuts from a kayak. Congratulations on the engagement. Aloha bruddah.

[@YakFishField]

Yeah man I knew right away too. At first I was staring at the horizon waiting to see one breach. Ya never know!

[@WaynJul]

That looked like a battle. Lock down the drag just enough not to get spooled but just enough to tire her out.

[@YakFishField]

Yeah, I couldn't believe she was still pulling drag with it almost maxed.

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

Wow and wow!

[@ryverhyker5400]

It is really nice to see a black person in this vid, I raise all of my kids to fish male or female....I know there is a story behind her fishing. Kinda like the spoof of a black man hiking.....Someone passed it along to her. I can only guess how great she felt pulling in that Rooster, especially seeing that most people don't even know that there is even a thing callled a Rooster fish....

[@YakFishField]

She killed it man

[@yosmith1]

Your videos just keep getting more epic, Robert!
