Beginners Luck
 

I realize this isn't going to make me many friends around here....

First time fishing La Jolla from a kayak.
First time targeting YT.
First time getting new rod/reel wet.

I owe a great deal of gratitude to all of who share your knowledge on this site. I have been a lurker for years. I bought my new kayak 5 months ago, and it has taken me that long to outfit it with all the essentials... yesterday was a sweet day!! It went 28lbs. 41", caught on a fly-lined mac in 85' of water.

Your expression says it all, it's a great feeling. Nice gaft shot

you are stealthy predator.

good for you. if it took you 5 mos to go out for the 1st time. When will be your second time?

now, 2 for 2 would be impressive.

Luck is as good as skill untill it runs out! Allthough I assume you do have considerable knowledge having done everything necessary to land this fish. Congratulations!
