My yak is my only real way I get off shore, love it. Got mine cheap on Craigslist, put in a hummingbird ff and I've been very happy. If I upgraded I'd go wilderness systems, coosa Jackson, or hobie.
Different fish though they look very similar. One of the neat things about nature is they are totally different, not related at all like pike/musky etc.

Great fish!
Nice choice of baits. I would say an 8inch TT or High Power Herring would be a really nice addition as well.
As an aside I have a 6 inch TT and a HPH, they are roughly the same length but the HPH is a bigger bait, stouter/taller/etc... The 6inch TT seems like a snack, the HPH is more of a meal.
