What They're Saying...

Commercial fishermen and fishing blogs have been critical of what they perceive as unnecessary risk -- but few discredit the endurance and perseverance that goes into it.

- Zach Schonbrun, Yahoo!Sports

“Fishing, for Lamoureux, means clipping his rod to a harness on his chest and hanging on for dear life as the fish races off, pulling his kayak  at speeds up to 15 miles an hour. Just another big fish story? You be the judge.”

- Jerry Lanson, True/Slant

Catching a 157-pound bluefin tuna is not an easy thing to do under the best of circumstances, and not just because the world's bluefin stocks are dangerously close to collapse. But catching a tuna from a kayak is almost impossible to imagine...

- David Roth, Wall Street Journal

“...unless someone's out there freediving for tuna with a harpoon, there's probably nobody more deserving of the prize. He's so committed to self-sufficiency that he heads offshore with dive fins in case he has to swim home.”

- Tim Shuff, Kayak Angler
