Kayak fishing is growing in popularity and we have featured several articles on the branch of the sport on FishingMagic in the past; but there is kayak fishing and there is extreme kayak fishing as 22-year-old Ryan Turner demonstrated by becoming just the tenth person to catch a 100lb plus fish from one of the craft.

As reported in the Dorset Echo Ryan was towed nearly a mile out to sea as he battled with a common skate, estimated as weighing between 120 to 140lb, after it picked up his octopus bait fished on 50lb class gear off Oban on the final session of his trip to Scotland’s west coast.
