D@mn Nice Yellow!
Wade,
Congrats! I got skunked the day before--same conditions--with simultaneous flyline and egg sinker lines out. I'm still not sure if that is better or worse than bringing a nice sized YT up to the surface, then slicing the leader with the gaff all the time within hailing (or should I say laughing) distance of a commercial party boat off the kelp beds.
Thanks for the insight into how it was caught.
if you don't mind educating further--why did you drop at the location you did?
Secret structure spot?
Sonar marked bottom fish?
Dropped thru a mid-depth bait ball (no surface bait)?
Dropped thru a bait ball taht was occasionally striking the surface.
Close to bull kelp?
Or just dropping and drifting to cover territory?
Thanks,
Kailolo
