LJ 8/13 AM 50+ lbs of YT

And it came in the form of two 28.8lb fish.



Copied Holy Mac's technique and fished the shallows. Actually, I was fishing for halibut but kept catching these damn YT. Oh well. One was a long skinny male, the other a tank of a female. Both on greenies in 25ft of water. Had another one going on the sabiki but the snap swivel failed. Second fish had me convinced it was a shark. Hit the trap rig on a reel with a F-ed clicker. Didn't feel it but the spray from the line peeling out caught me in the face, turned around to see the rod bent in half. Took out about 100 yards in no time, then towed me for a good while at 4-5 knots. Most fun fight I've had in a while.

Sorry to bump ya Mike, but let's raise the bar for the fish of the month. 8)
