Dude…I’m absolutely salivating for May 1 2024!!!!! I just bought a BKC 13 kayak and I’m heading out from Az to Washington for this !!!!!

[@mariovillanueva9058]

Good work man. Hope you catch a tagged one!!

[@KainOutdoors]

Thank you. I hope so also.

[@Rokynutz]

Keep it up man.

[@spelz8560]

Looks like way fun!

[@KainOutdoors]

It is. Pretty cold and long hours though.

[@CloudFT]

Hey man I saw your live well for your kayak, if you dont mind me asking what size of both did you use to not puncture the cooler?

[@alexbeum7403]

What are you using for bait?

[@KainOutdoors]

Mostly use nightcrawlers. I have good luck with chicken liver and salmon eggs when I can get them but they are much harder to keep on the hook. Little fish pick it off fast and both are messy.

How are you rigging your worms?

[@adamhandley6105]

Nice video mate. Do you still raise meat rabbits by any chance? And how are your girls and wife doing? :)

[@KainOutdoors]

Family is good. No rabbits now. Still keep chickens.

[@adamhandley6105]

@@KainOutdoors Great to hear my guy. Hope you’re keeping well

[@Shanecoregon]

How many did you end up with?

[@KainOutdoors]

10 that night

[@rolandgarcia9140]

how was it possible for the top angler to catch 10,755 pikeminnows in 5 months? That would be about 72 keepers per day without missing a day and that's if you fish 12 hours per day. and catch 6 keepers per hour.

[@KainOutdoors]

They have been doing it a long time and know many spots. Basically live on their boat and fish 24 hours a day. I wish I knew the secrets myself.

[@rolandgarcia9140]

@@KainOutdoors thank you for the reply. the math just doesn't add up though. Hard to fish 150 days straight with no days off for 12 hrs a day and average 72 keepers each day. Maybe catching them year round and stocking them, commercial nets who knows.

@@rolandgarcia9140 I dont know. i talked to the checkers and they say some guys have 100+ days. That can make up for some of the days off. Maybe husband wife team? I wish I got half those numbers. My best day so far is 21. Caught 12 out of one spot in a couple hours in a kayak so I think it could be possible if you run and gun it but maybe Im just a sucker for the dream of it.
