1st kayak Yellow and a nice Calico

Slept in today, got on the water about 9ish paddled out and made a nice size greenback
right away.




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.







Tried to make more bait but kept catching small bonito instead.



Started heading in at noon, home by 3

It's actually a 20lb Yellowtail and a 50lb Calico in that cooler 👍🏼 that's what you tell your friends that don't fish 😜

But seriously, nice catch on the calico and congrats on your first YT

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?

Nice calico, I got one like that yesterday. The yellow is legal but it looks like you robbed the cradle on that one.
