I spent about an hour the night before checking, double checking, and triple checking to make sure that I wasn't forgetting anything. Get the first nice salmon to the side of kayak while being very impressed with myself that I didn't forget anything. "Crap, I forgot my net" lol. I also forgot how much fun it was to be fighting these monsters. The bite was on immediately 7ish and was done by 10. They were so aggressive yesterday that I couldn't even get my hook down to where I wanted it. I was fishing in about 100 feet and before I got my hook to 50 feet they were running with it.
