I think its definitely more fun to land a fish in a kayak as well. I had mine out 2 weeks ago fishing for largemouth. A musky took my senko and took me for a short ride. Unfortunately for me I forgot the net in the car. I realized this about 10 minutes after I was out but figured I'd make due without it.
2 hours later I've got a 2 and a half foot musky flopping around at the end of my line along side my yak. My cousin was out with me in my second yak and he commented that it was trying to jump in. Rod in one hand fish grip in the other I'm trying to get a moment where it's still so I can grab the lip with the fish grip and not get bit. The musky flops forward to the front of the boat and I watch as my line grazes the blade of my paddle resting across the deck. SNAP. No more Musky.
Doesn't count in terms of a caught fish since I didn't land it but it was pretty damn fun!
