[FISH11]

Went out to LJ today, as I often try to do when the weather allows. Met Yanni in person for the first time today as I was getting set to launch and again at the landing. Fished a lot of the familiar spots and had a hard time making bait even though there was bait jumping all over the place. It seemed like the FF just cleared the area. Every time I would paddle into the middle of jumping bait it would clear all around me. After making the right kind of bait I trolled around and hooked and landed a 27.6 lb Yellow at 9 am. Kept fishing the rest of the day and finally at 1:54 pm in almost the same spot I hooked and landed a 16.3 lb Yellow. After a not so successful fishing trip on Saturday during the Rock Fish Round Up, I have decided to donate both Yellows to the HOW freezer. I'll be filleting and vacuum sealing both tomorrow, both are on ice now.
