157-pound bluefin caught from a kayak
"First you have to hook the fish, which strikes suddenly and violently — “sort of like a raging bull,” he said. Then there’s the ride, which is the scariest part but also “the most fun thing I’ve ever done.” After that you have to fight the fish until it dies of exhaustion.
This can take hours and entails steering the tuna — Lamoureux won’t say how — and controlling its speed with the drag on the reel.

RE:157-pound bluefin caught from a kayak
You don't have to fight it until it dies from exaustion.
Also, a local NW kayak angler has caught larger from his kayak.
I've also seen some guys with very large (400 pound) salmon sharks laying across their yaks. You DO have to kill something like that, or cut the line.
