Kayak fishing Depoe Bay, OR 6-18-11

http://groundswellkayakfishing.com Here's a short video from the 4th annual Oregon Rockfish Classic in Depoe Bay, OR. I didn't shoot much video since the conditions were pretty crummy and I was also trying to focus on fishing but I did get some good footage of Ron bringing in his 2nd place lingcod that came in at over 16lbs.. Cheers!

Has anyone fallen into the ocean?

[megapickles]

@atlastpeace Yes. That is why you see everyone wearing their life vests and immersion gear. Also, practicing re-entering your kayak while in deep water is a must.

@megapickles Aw, did your whole boat turned over, and then the stuff on the kayak fell into the ocean? Oh, and has anyone lost their fishing rod? Also, how was the huge catch you caught in your popular video? Was it good?

@atlastpeace Not me, other people though. It's a rare occurrence but when it happens, they might lose a rod or some other random piece of gear. The gear on my deck is either leashed to the kayak or it floats. I passed on a tentacle of the octopus since I didn't want to deal with it. I regret that choice though because apparently it was amazing. Cheers!

Great video! As a teen I lived in Newport and use to love going up to Depoe Bay to watch the fishing boats navigate through the toughest inlet on the west coast. Great fishing and filming as well!
