Last Week

left the harbor at 9:30pm towards the Hidden... worked an area just short and a mile east.

picked up this 23lb yft.... just enough to keep me fed until east cape next month.


Notice the black hat?
black hat = fish - Just ask the DarkHorse


and here's that yt I got 2 weeks ago

Nick,
Great looking yellow from the yak. I hope for a quality one like that one of these days.

Jazo,
Photo looks way overdone imho. Sharpening halos all over the edges and the highlights looks pushed overboard even more. I like Nick's original photo. He is a professional afterall as you can tell by his second photo.

BTF_David,
Thx for the comments. I just get tempted sometimes when I see a nice pic right that.

my wife shot that second photo... she focused on the fish and not me. its all good though.

that second image was shot at f2.8 1/100 @3200iso with a Nikon D700, 24-70 at 45mm. In other words it was almost dark at my place.



Thanks for the nice words everyone... Hope to post some more pics from Hawaii and the East Cape in the next couple of weeks.
