Had the most amazing day yesterday, conditions were rough, but using my sabiki chum bucket with a squid made 8 greenback macks really quickly. Then set out West where I hooked into my first yellow. Gut hooked him so not much of a fight, eventually caught up to two other kayakers who were going out far like I was. Joined up with them and we ended up in a pod of at least 500 dolphins. After those, i saw these huge spouts in the distance, 4 HUUUGE whales really really close, makes you feel tiny when something the size of a house goes by and your in a tiny little kayak. We hit 7-8 miles out and had a hammerhead steal our bait and turned around to head back in. Ran into another massive pod of dolphins, this is where I hooked up on the yellowfin tuna. Two fish on-board. Getting closer to shore trolled a Mac through a little field of kelp pattys, no dorado but this FAT yellow! 3 fish on board. At this point I broke down all my rods ready for the last couple miles till landing. No way I could store another good sized yellow on-board. This is where I departed with my new kayak fishing friends and realized I was fishing with Jim Sammons the entire time. Im truely blesssed for such an amazing time. What an EPIC day.
