This tourney was a benefit for TOBA. http://www.texasopenbeaches.org/ Protecting our rights to open beach access.
I placed third with a 42" I was beat out by a 42 1/2" and a 43". My partners son took first in the kids division from the sand.
Fishing was tough with 3-4' breakers with 5-6' rollers offshore. If I wasn't in a tourny I probally would not have gone offshore, But with everybody taking to the bay's looking for calm water I knew the big ones were offshore. I also caught a sea turtle and thought he was going to beat me good trying to get hin unhooked.
This was a catch-photo-measure-release tourny so all fish were revived and released to fight another day.
. I still say you guys are nutz but I also guess I kinda envy ya. Ain't gonna do that kinda stuff but sure admire y'all that do

Great place to finish! I sure envy you the confidence to do that. Someday we gotta get some Kayaks and check em out.
what kind of boats are you riding there ??? looks like a WIDE Kayak, I bet a fish that big , would tow you all over the place. BUT, I sure would like to try it someday.
