Mola's. They were jumping out of the water this morning. One came within 20ft of the yak. I tried to take a pic, but the shutter delay on the camera sucks.

That was my first thought, I must've just had a weird angle on it. The fish sure didn't look mola shaped from where I saw it. It jumped 4 or 5 times and I was within 30 yards of it, could've sworn it was more "regular fish" shaped.

I saw the same thing and was thinking cuda? Or jr. Seabass? Don't know for sure but it had me casting irons hoping to find out!

Sorry I missed you out there Brian!

hmmm... I have seen a couple of them too... must be those salt water trout migrating again!

Definitely Mola's. Looked to be about 15-20lbs. At first it looked like tuna.. When I turned to get a better look I could see the flatness.

Last year when the one's first showed during the fires I never got the "better look." Definitely spent an hour + casting on everyone I saw jump or boil out of the corner of my eye. That sucked when I found out they were Molas.
