In a galaxy not so far away, a Bay Area angler with a rod, a sea kayak and plenty of time on his hands made a "Star Wars"-themed video chronicling his fishing experience. 

Jae Chang, a man who is clearly a fan of George Lucas, took his kayak off the coast of Marin County last month and returned with a giant king salmon and some pretty good video. 

The production value of the video itself is almost as impressive as the nearly 34-pound salmon he eventually reels in after failing like a stormtrooper in Episode IV a few times.

"This video explains the mix emotions of happiness and sadness that associates with Salmon fishing on a Kayak," Chang writes in the scrolling text in the beginning of the video. 

The entire video is pretty entertaining, but the big fish payoff comes at the 4:53 mark.
