Always wanted to release one of these big boys.

Bad cell phone video ....

Kept a large Bonita to eat

Fish and game guy did a double take when I told him I released a large yellow and kept the bonny. He did thank me.

Reason, tired of yellowtail, plus I caught it very early in the day.

Love fresh bonita and haven't had any yet this year.

Plus I was on my way out to go tuna fishing.

Got myself a waypoint

Nice YT! Next time he gets caught he will be even larger for the next lucky person to hook into him

Fresh Bonito is so good! Nice on yellow C&R

Great job on the C&R of the yellow. It feels good doesn't it, to be able to sometimes not harvest them, but just enjoy the hook up, fight and accomplishment of landing it. I will practice the same as long as I have some in the freezer. I figure that I or someone else will catch it again only it'll be even bigger. Congrats Chris!
