Kayak Fishing For Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

Dave Lamoureux has taken the brought kayak fishing for big game to the east coast. His idea of a good time is heading out into the Atlantic off the coast of Cape Cod in his 12-foot kayak named Fortitude in search of bluefin tuna. With his rod strapped to a harness on his chest he hangs on for dear life as fish can pull his kayak up to 15 miles per hour.

Dave recently caught is this awesome 157 pound bluefin tuna, and the attention of the local media!

“He is a hero at bait shops up and down Cape Cod,” The Times’ Charles McGrath writes of the 42-year-old daredevil. “On the fishing blogs, a few grumblers call him a dangerous idiot.”

Well on this fishing blog, we think getting into a kayak and strapping your rod to your chest in search of a bluefin tuna powered ride of your life sounds like something I should schedule for my next vacation. Whoever’s counting, put our vote down for “hero”.

    Wow, great! Kayaking? Yes! Tuna fishing? Yes! But tuna fishing in a kayak, I dunno if I’d be more scared or more excited.

    Nice! Jim Sammons of the Kayak Fishing Show should do an episode with this fella! That’s something I’d like to try.
