Dave Lamoureux landed a 157 pound bluefin tuna from his kayak yesterday, off of Race Point Beach in Provincetown. The story is reported in today's Cape Cod Times. The fight to land the fish lasted about three hours, and then he spent another hour paddling back to shore.Lamoreux, a trader from Chicago, and a self-described "adrenaline seeker" has been trying since August to beat the world record for unassisted paddle-out kayak fishing for any species. In the article, he describes the "sleigh ride" experienced when hooking a large fish in a kayak: "You go for a sleigh ride," Lamoureux said. "At high speed first, and then you slow down. It becomes a vertical fight after that, and then periodically it runs, you know, and you go with it."
