Poseidon and his Yoyo challenge

That would be a challenge... Even if I used 200 lb mono and tripple wrapped on em, I'd get flipped or my arm torn off. I think it's probably for the best that I don't know where any goliaths live.

So far I've gotten trout, snook, mangroves, tarpon and a decent blacktip. Maybe I could try for a manatee, lol

Permit. I've seen an old man at Channel 2 catch a 30+ lber on a yo-yo, it can be done.

I have seen the old man in the keys with the permit on a yo yo , the same guy was catching bull sharks one night , he had a big wooden Yoyo, gloves, and wearing a welding vest. He would press the yoyo against his vest and use it as a drag... He landed 2 bulls between 150-200 lbs, very impressive. DO IT POSEIDON

Did he have like 5 to 8 yoyo lined up on the rail with some little flags on them?

Saw a gut down there once that fits that description pretty much. Dude was going at it big time fighting a large ray. I just saw that yoyo spinning like real fast as was like ouch

I've thought about taking paracord and double wrap on some bulls and not give them an inch. that"s how it'd go with a goliath too. It's more challenging to use lighter mono where you are forced to play the fish.

Kingfish are weak. I am yet to be impressed by any fight with a king. Bonita a third their size put up a better fight.

A wahoo would be sick. They run so fast that I'm sure I would accidentally put too much drag on em and pop them off.

Stay tuned, putting live gogs out on the yoyo offshore will surely pay off one of these days. I just wish I had more chances to get offshore with good conditions. Hate these flat seas.

Not to thread crap here but wtf does it matter trolling or bottom fishing in a yoyo? People have managed gigantic tunas on hand line years ago. Hell I've seen vertical jigging on yoyo from the kayak. If you troll a gog long enough on a yoyo a sail will eat it to the point it can't escape and its a matter of letting him drag you around until he's done.

permitchaser · Post by **permitchaser** » Thu Jun 12, 2014 11:21 pm

Ok for wahoo all you need its something like a bucket and a big yoyo lots of line , in case the hoo its big I think it can be done and make sure nothing in the bucket tangle your line and let the V8 run lol. BTW I start fishing with yoyos

Show me just how easy it is then. If fishing is so easy, why didn't you catch more on that Reward Won trip? I welcome a challenge.

I wasn't trying to pose a challenge but I have a kayak and free time and $7 for a yoyo so if somebody wants to see some yoyo fish I'm sure I can abide.

catch a big AJ!!!

Poseidon10/31 · Post by **Poseidon10/31** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 12:25 am

This came back to life huh? The only thing I really wanna catch on it is a sailfish. I'll probably just tarpon and snook fish with it until the sails start running in the winter.

Can't wait for the vid of that. A sail on the Yoyo and I'm sold.

Backwoods123 · Post by **Backwoods123** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 3:18 pm

A swordfish.

gdm phil · Post by **gdm phil** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 3:31 pm

again if you want to come out with me on a sat or sunday throw a jig on that yoyo and lets wrestle some ajs or almacos. ill drive the boat rather than fish when you hook up. just split bait and gas and were good

gruntking · Post by **gruntking** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 5:02 pm

am i the only one that remembers when they went deep dropping for sword with a yoyo ?

Poseidon10/31 · Post by **Poseidon10/31** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 8:08 pm

Thanks for the offer Phil, I'll get back to ya if I decide to take you up on that.

GK, the guys who buoy fish hand line them in, but daytiming?!?! That's nuts. I've seen pics of everything supposedly caught on a handline, but not a sword.

gruntking · Post by **gruntking** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 9:36 pm

yeah they do but a fw years back they had a little thing on tv of a tourney of the day dropping with yoyo's its right around they time they had the inner tube sailfish tourney

linh · Post by **linh** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 1:22 am

Are you talking about the wrestler who had a fishing show and he was kite fishing out of the inner tube down in miami?

gruntking · Post by **gruntking** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 1:41 am

My boss helped that guy build the raft and dropped his googan ass off at Fowey. lol.

Poseidon10/31 · Post by **Poseidon10/31** » Sat Jul 05, 2014 9:36 pm

Boogie board or rubber ducky inner tube for tarpon. You decide.

That would get a million hits if whoever finds my dead body uploads the video from the still attached GoPro... I'll drown for sure if I try it.
