A YT Virgin No Longer - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Congratulations on the first Yellow. It will taste the sweetest. Since I started using circle hooks, after hooking up and pulling a couple of minutes. I can put the pole down with a looser drag set my leg on top and quickly pull in my other line so they won't cross. I had lost other fish in the past from lines getting crossed, not anymore. Love circle hooks, they don't come off no matter how many head shakes.

And it starts. That first yellow I tell ya!! I remember mine like it was yesterday. It damn near was. I'm still earning my stripes trying to become a vet. But that's 1/2 the fun. Congrats on a good fish!

x2 Circle hooks are awesome.

I've always used ringed 2/O J hooks, but I'll pick up some circle hooks next time and give them a try. People seem to think pretty strongly one side or the other in that debate!
