8/18 Guess I should fish for YT... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

...then maybe I'd catch halibut. Got bait and was heading to a halibut spot, just starting to think "I guess there's no YT this morning", when the flyline goes off. Long steady fight, kind of weird for a YT, but once vertical the tail thumps gave it away. Stuck the ~26 lb fish and spent the rest of the morning in a fruitless search for flatness. Donated half on the water and filleted the rest on the boat since I had to go to work. Pics to follow.
