Met up with Brad, paddled out, bait was somewhat tough, couldn't make any... brownish water... lots of birds milling... Around 6:20pm off the face of the hotel birds piled up, some Pber blazed through, saw some surface action... another panga pulled up, they landed ~8lb YT...

I decided to go to the surface Iron, and blind cast... on my 3rd cast, got a minor backlash, picked it through, wind up... FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!! A sealion was working the area, the panga barely got theirs in the boat... I missed the gaff a couple times, as this fish was zig-zagging like a bonito... finally got the gaff, and seconds later, the Dog surfaced right next to my kayak...!

Fish inhaled my Taddy 45.... first YT off a surface Iron....
