The new ride seems to have some pretty good mojo. All kidding aside, you earned that fish. Thirty eight pound Yellowtail don't give up, they make you earn their spot in the trophy case. I'm sure your heart rate went up,
as that big girl pulled you from deep water to the kelp
. Between the swimming practice with $1,500 of rods and reels and your persistence, good things were bound to happen. Too bad no one was around to take a quality OTW photo, that's a TOAD!
