La Jolla 6/18/2021 on the Solo Skiff and another PB Homeguard. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

La Jolla 6/18/2021, I did not expect to turn out like it did. I thought since it took 7 years to top my PB Homeguard Yellowtail, that it would be a while. Not 13 days later, in almost the identical spot, void of any structure and shallow compared to how I normally fish. Learned I need to add alternative mount points for the Reliable Fish Bag, for when carrying a large fish (ie, Homeguard, 30-40 lb Yellowfin Tuna, ect.) the bow won't rise as high and cuts through the chop more. It still goes good, but it just splashes more and you get wetter. It will plane better if the weight is more over the bait tank, instead of all the way forward. Normal conditions or non really big fish are never a problem. Watch the video to find out the funny circumstances just before hook up. Thanks for watching. Enjoy the Fish Porn!

PS: Just added a still from the landing. I took it using the GoPro9 and for some reason I could not find it when I was posting first. .
