LJ 1/14/17 my first Yellowtail

Peddled out around sunrise. Managed to get quite a few big mackerel (12" approx) on a flatfall in around 140' near the bottom. No action on the sabiki at any depth. First time at LJ I've had more than 2 baits the entire day, in maybe 6-8 trips over the last 6 months.

Got bitten off (25lb flouro leader) once by something strong, then switched to 40lb, then taken by the dogs twice around 10am (saw them coming) which was a rush of adrenaline.

Then around noon my reel went vrooom! I was waiting for the twang/snap and the disappointing loss of tension but it never happened. After about 10 minutes I got a glimpse and managed land this without screwing things up.


My first YT and my personal best fish
