MY FIRST YELLOW TAIL

So I headed out on an overnight trip to Catalina all expenses paid (THANK COSCO FIRE PROTECTION). It worked out pretty good I got to use my custom phenix rod from Wiseguy paired with a Daiwa Lexa 400 hs. Hooked up with a few Calico's at the first spot then we moved further down the back side of the island and the yellow tail started biting. I was the fourth guy to hook up and it was fish on it put up a good fight but not good enough. LOL [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Looking good with that yellowtail bro. Congrats! Looks like you'll be eating well for a while

Congratz!

Nice! It's a shame that the yellow isn't more fresh. They're bomb for sashimi.

50# braid with a 20# florocarbon leader

WTG DSD!  

I almost crapped in my waders when I read the title of the thread.  I'm thinking "There in close! Where can I get some YT from my float?!?!?!" Then I clicked on the thread.

Don't forget the hama kama.  My mouth started to water just saying it.

Good stuff Marty! Glad the rod is getting put to good use!

Nice catch on the Yellow..........GT
