Well said.

Bummer about the fish. That is a very tough lesson to learn.

Yellows can be landed by hand quite easily, especially from a kayak.

That being said, I think the most important lesson you can learn from your experience is to always be prepared.

The ocean is an amazing place and can bring unpredictably good or bad luck your way at anytime, be prepared for both.

I'm sure the lobster are happy!

I knew a David Skinner, you didn't happen to work at El Rancho Market?
Anyhow, that was ridiculous to just stab it, thinking it would do the trick. Ever caught a yellow, bonito or tuna before? You grab their tail and grip like he's your prize winning lotto, and he ain't going nowhere.
If your story is legit, then all you did was kill something we all prize with a passion, left for the sea lampreys at the bottom of the ocean. We don't need to feed them, let 'em get their own damn dead fish.
