You're going to need a Vacation home closer to the launch.

I know how you feel after 3 days of straight fishing and no sleep. I'm like a Zombie.

I saw Josh coming in @ 5:30 pm last night, that must be some strong coffee he is drinking out there.

I finished it all off last night with Happy Hour at the La Jolla Shores Hotel Bar.
-The Hotel at the launch.

"I have read and heard so much about these fish, but nothing really prepares you for the fight and they all fight differently...Yellowtails are pound for pound the toughest fight I have ever experienced, and its a fight that leaves you starving for another round!!"

Just wait until one that size slams the Salas 7X on your brand new Seeker Ulua, imaginge that fight times two

. Not to mention the sight of a dark shadow pushing a bow wake behind your jig, followed by an explosion you will never forget.

And would you please quit making Yellowtail over thirty pounds look small, fish with a 45" fork length look like a Calico Bass in your hands...my job is hard enough
