Flylined him and tossed on a leftover frozen chovie I had in the freezer from a few weeks ago.

Not even 5 minutes I hear my chovie get bit, good fight, never fought a yellow before but pull up this little rat. yellow, whatever I'm stoked I finally caught 1.

While I reeling in the little guy my Mac gets hit and started screaming. I'm beyond excited because I think I got my 2 yellows in less than an hour, this one pulls harder and and I'm full bend. Get him to the yak and its a toad calico!! Just under 4 lbs.

Good thing you kept that yellow cause that calico was gonna eat it.

Be careful, minimum size limit for pacific bonito is 24". I'm just saying... do you know the new legal revised size limit for calicos?

flemdogg 07-24-2015 06:40 PM

I can't talk smack! I haven't got yt yet! Enjoy it! I don't fish to skunk so any fish thats legal is good enough for the pan for me :)
Edit: except for those baby reds... I need a fish descender to send them back down I really feel like a baby killer when I get them
