nice fish! How did you hook the greenback? Through the nose?

Like I said in the report, when it went straight down I felt like I was hung up on the bottom. I thought I was going to lose it. So I reached over and hit record on the sonar. Attached are a couple screen shots as promised.
The first one is when I hit record. It’s hard to tell if it’s in a rock pile. It looks more like kelp to me. Feel free to weigh in on it. Obviously I’m pedaling around like a mad man trying to unwind whatever the fish wound itself around. The next couple are me fighting it up and down. You can see when it takes me from about 20’ back to the bottom. And then the final being the struggle as I am gassed, to get up to color and within reach of my gaff. I’ve gotten alot of good insight over the years lurking on this site. I’m far from an expert, but hopefully this report and some of the associated documentation will be helpful to others.

Always interesting to see screenshots. Viewing yours makes me realize that most of the Yellowtail are taken in much shallower water than the Amberjack and Almacos that I target usually in 200+ft of water on the East Coast. When I am fighting a big fish, I will keep an eye on the Fishfinder. If it's an AJ, or Almaco, the screen will light up when it's about 80ft down as it releases air from it's swim bladder. If there is no air release, then I know it's most likely some form of Tuna.

Only when the water warms up. Late fall through early spring is not uncommon for us to yo-yo fish yellowtail in 200’ of water. They’re usually deep that portion of the year because the water temps are more consistent day to day than they are at the surface. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
