1st Yellow on Yak
 

I've been out to kelp beds screwing around a number of times for calicos and whatnot, but on Tuesday July 7th I actually tried for yellows.

Just a couple hour trip after work.. but once I got to the kelp beds I saw everyone hooked up (the other two yaks..) so I was feeling optimistic.

I trolled some spanish for a half hour with no luck. Made some more bait and ended up with a bonito the size of a small football. With the F-it mentality, I rigged up the bonito and was onto my first yellow on a yak within 30 seconds.

Bonitos are on the menu, I wasn't sure haha.

Stoked and headed out next when the swell calms down.

huge tail on that bad boy.

congrats on your first!

Nice work!!!

quality fish!

Thats awesome. Bonito poke isnt bad either, as bait goes. Well done!

Sweet!! Congrats...Im still hunting my first one down! Im hoping next week!

Congrats. Thats a nice first fish!
