Andy as you know I've only been fishing La Jolla for a year and only really fished it seriously for a few months last spring before the white Seabass showed up, up here.
I caught bigger fish offshore this year, even got my first local Marlin which I've been chasing for years, but even counting my skiff fish I still got to go back to this La Jolla fish from last March as my favorite:
It's such a beautiful and pic, (thanks Josh) My second La Jolla Yellowtail (caught my first that morning) I was fishing alone and found my own fish (Josh was fishing Halibut at the time, and there was no-one else out there)
For me it just does not get much better then that.
Here's both my first and second La Jolla tail from that day
I remember at the time you told me doubles like that are one in a million. I imagine one of these days I'll get bigger or more tails on my yak, but that fish and that day is going to stick with me for a long time.
