You should ask your friend for more information, and add to your post. Since you wanted to share, and people sometimes listen, it's good to know other tidbits, like were they fishing San Clemente Island where yellows that size are caught regularly or were they offshore after tuna and dorado? Did they hit the right kelp paddy that had yellows under it, but no dodos or tuna? Were other smaller than 30lb yellows caught?

Anyway, just thought I'd add that so you can be even more helpful to others who may want to go out of Newport on a boat trip.

They were fishin Catalina
Had about 15 or so yellows
5 were over 30lbs
Had over 70 anglers
Mostly caught bonito
Don't know what area
Doubt he knows either
Doesn't fish much but he gettin into it
So his report to me didn't have much detail
Believe me
I asked him all I could
All he could really tell me was 5 were 30 pounders
And that they used sardines
I looked most of it up on their website
Anyway
I'll be on the Gailforce on Sunday
Hittin either Catalina or Clemente
I'll put up another report
This time from my actual perspective
So there should be more detail
Well
Hopefully I have something good to report
Can't wait

Good luck to you sir, catch a bunch. But you might see why I asked for second hand further details. One could come up with many scenarios with your first report.

Well here's a scenario he ran into
He is fishing an 8000 sized spinner with 30lb fluoro
Fly lining a sardine
He hooks up
Reel starts screaming
Rod is bent over
He says he was fighting for like ten minutes
Said he had about half his line left
Would get a little line back
But fish would keep takin off
He is freakin out cuz its biggest he has ever hooked
Deck hand comes over and takes the rod
Fish takes him on a ride around the boat
Deckhand looks at friend and says he should cut his line

Now

What would you do

Ill Bite-

1 )Button down the drag and get that fish UP. OR break it off & grab a heavier set up. Grab a beer too.

2) Fish from own boat or kayak and NOT have to deal with party boat peeps. Prolly drink a cold beer too.

3) Go straight to the galley and buy everyone on the boat a beer because you probably just lost the jackpot fish cuz your spinner wasn't made for the job .

4) Toss that spinner overboard, get yourself a beer or three.

5) Fish ON... Doesn't matter as long as you have a cold beer.

I would have told the deckhand to fuck off.

Either.............
the fish will give up
the angler will give up
the line will snap
the angler will get spooled

I would much rather take a chance on one of those four things happening than to just give up.

Nice! Good to know. I went the last week of July and the yellows were finicky. Some were landed, but they only touched live bait on 15-20lb flouro with#2- 1/0 hooks. My bait just kept getting raped by Bonito. We caught about 150 bones and 30 yellows for 50 anglers. I got sick of getting baits shredded by Bonito, so I threw in an anchovy megabait, hooked 6, farmed 3 trying to throw them over the rail. No yellows over 5lbs. We only fished the front side of Catalina. Still fun thoughName:  uploadfromtaptalk1471920158506.jpg

Absolutely! This one dude got 2 on the coltsnipers, and that's when I said f*** using bait, and then hooked up on 6 that first stop on the megabait. I was using a 1oz, so it's about the same size as a coltsniper (for about half the price).
