Amen to that. Being that I've never even targeted YT, I'd love to see how they appear on a graph....

Great catch!

Yeah, but it was after fighting it for a while so he had towed me south and into shallower water. I saw the marks on the screen when it was under and wanted to record what it looked like. I have recently learned after seeing sea lions try to hide under the kayak that the marks on the screen for a large fish are much bigger than what I was thinking are often large yellows. I saw the screen but did not take any pictures when it was up around 60 feet deep and the marks were about the same size.

Nice!

Looks like you're using 200 kHz if Im not mistaken. Its much harder to mark the big fish on 200 as opposed to 83 or 50 kHz, but you get way better resolution on the bait.

You have your sensitivity set well, I can tell from how hard the bottom is marking. I've been seeing those clouds a lot. In your second pic, you can see the bait walling.

When the fish swam through that bait, did it look like this?

Notice how much better the fish show on 83kHz (left).
