Catch and Release Yellowtail

Poll for you guys going into this summer:

Who on here has released a yellowtail from the kayak? This time of year those fish are getting heavily fished by sportboats, commercial boats, and kayaks alike. The big mossbacks we target are all important breeders, so why not? In the age of gopros and smart phones, you're going to be able to document the catch. And I know many of you have a bunch of fish just sitting in a freezer somewhere...

Not counting tiny rats (which I hope all of you would release) how many can say they have let go a big yt?

I would do it if I had more than I could use, and if it obviously wasn't a new PR. But first I need to get this stinky, stinky skunk stench off of me :/

I never voluntarily release them because my friends, family and I eat them.

Yes, if I had enough in the freezer.

Thanks for the video. I was wondering how I would release a YT.

Absolutely. But if you release a tired one when a sealion is around, they won't last long.
