Happy 4th of July - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJones · 07-03-2020, 08:07 PM

I am on the board. Lots of missed opportunities in the last 2 months. I’ve been hitting it hard. Lost a few yellows in the kelp. I even lost this guys brother at color 3 weeks ago. This time I made no mistakes. I even broke the 50 mark. 52” and scaled him at 50.5 lbs. It’s been a long time since I posted, and this is worthy for a July submission. Happy holidays everyone. Be safe.

Holy cow, congrats. What an amazing catch!

My first time making wsb sushi. I’ve been craving some yellowtail all year long. This will suffice. Hopefully the tail bite will improve soon. Enjoy everyone.

Nice catch! How was the sushi?

FullFlavorPike · 07-04-2020, 12:10 PM

He got hungry again and came back. Speaking of which, the next ray I get might be harvested..

Better than yellowtail. I’ve made civiche sea bass before and it’s good, but I wasn’t reel keen on trying sushi sea bass. Now I know what I’ve been missing. Needless to say, sea bass is mild, especially compared to yellowtail. I would highly recommend trying it. Believe me, I know how rare catching these things can be.

Thanks! I’ve always wondered. Now I have to try to catch one.
