Congralations!!!
It's great getting the first.
Everything else will feel like gravy, but it's good gravy.
Keep it going and good luck.

Geoff,
Nice One!!!! It was cool watching you land your first yellow too bad you guys didn't stick around cause it blew up a couple times after you left....i got burnt in the kelp the first time, then hooked up again a couple minutes later and landed a #21, both on spanish macks.

PS. Your good friend is a freak'in kayak fishing legend!!! you know the kinda guy who catches tons of quality fish, never posts a thing and will take any struggling fisherman who is willing to listen and teach them everything he knows....for free. I personally owe alot of fish to that man. Plus i just like the way he says mackerel !!!

Scally- was that you in the outback? I could tell it was starting to get fishy when we were leaving. We saw a couple other guys who scored around then too. I have a nice reminder of how fun it was - line burn on my thumb!

Darkness-I have a bad habbit of lippin everything. I was even lippin freaking trout in the sierras.
