My First La Jolla Yellow
 

Well with work travel and a lack of fishing time this year...it took a year of trying but FINALLY this week I brought the right kind over the rail! A 43# trophy that I will be chasing for awhile I'm sure.

Big thanks to Josh for taking the pic's and for all your time this year helping me learn the area!!!!

that is an amazing fish! congrats

Congrats on the sweet :yt:!!!

Congratulations on a quality Yellowtail.
-You sure set the mark high for Yellowtail #2.

Nice YT! You even made him look right in the camera for the second pic!:D:cheers1::yt:

Nice :yt: Gabe. Much bigger than the :yt: you got on the Islander 1 1/2 day. Nice up grade.


Ken

nice :yt:

Nice fish.
Why does everybody think that this Josh guy is responsible for them catching fish? You guys need to give yourselves a little more credit. You're the one who caught the fish, not Josh. People have been catching fish that big long before this Josh guy came around.

Better yet, why does this guy posting a great fish have to turn into a bashing of Josh. IF JOsh gave him some good advise and he credits him for the help, what is the issue there.

Great Fish by the way. Catching one that size as your first kind of ruins you though. That one will be hard to beat.
I had a client, fifteen minutes into the first time fishing on a kayak caught a Striped Malin, where do you go from there. He probably never got on a kayak again, just no way to top that fish.

well said jim
josh is a stand up guy that is willing to help any1 willing to listen. :you_rock::cheers1:
Congrats on that SLUG yellow. you set the bar high for sure.

Holly Crap Batman, that is huge.... I would take Nacho Libre's advice if it got me a yellow like that. :biggrinjester:

Obviously you don't know this "Josh guy"... Nice fish Gabe!!

Woah dude, woah. If you met him you wouldn't be saying that. He is always there to help and has helped me and others who have asked. He's a good guy to have around.

WOW dude you really know hwo to make a first post dont you. now that you marked yourself as a TARD. good luck getting any one to shoot info your way. :banghead:

Nice fish! :reeling: How long did you fight it? how far did it pull you around?

Nice YT
 

Hey, nice :yt:, what bait did you use and how long did you fight for it.
