New Gear - New Best Fish
Had all my rods and reels stolen a couple weeks ago. Thankfully, through the generosity from the people on this site and deals at the Fred Hall Show Del Mar I reloaded on replacement gear Friday 3/27 so I could fish Saturday 3/28. Launched at 7am, got bit at 6pm. Current was strong and bird activity was crazy around sunset. 12 hours for one bite got me my personal best yellowtail just over 30 lbs on my spring scale at the beach after landing.

Congratulations Mikey, that is a pig of a yellow. Good karma for having your gear stolen was getting a PB Yellowtail with your new gear.

Way too go Mikey! Damn that sucks to hear about your stolen gear! That's a long time on the water I'm glad it ended with your personal best YT. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure the guy who jacked your gear didn't have a smile on his face that big. Congrats on the fish and overcoming a messed up situation.

Nice job man! 12 hrs, holy moly. Very nice fish. Me and my buddies met you on the water in long beach a few months back, close to 72nd st jetty. Looks like you're doing well
 sorry about your gear, hate thieves.

Nice one, Steve and I landed after you. We launched around 3pm after spending the morning with HOW in Mission Bay. It looked soooooo fishy, I told Steve that we really suck if we don't hook up..........we sucked.

Mikey!! That's one fat fish!!! New equipment and all.
Good thing you stuck around for the evening bite. Loved the video, especially the music and the ending scale shot. Wow. |
