Monster Yellow Saturday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FreezeYak · 07-02-2012, 09:09 AM

Had quite a thrill early Saturday morning out there. Launched early, fished for bait for about 1.5 hours, fished for yellowtail for about 3 minutes before this guy decided to play. Solid hookup, and he ran more than anything I have ever had on before. After one huge kelp tree, a few small stringers, and feeding the seadog dead bait to keep him busy while I gaffed, landed this beauty. Had to be around 35 lbs. Thank you to the guy who stopped to take the pic for me. Name: Big yellow 6-30-12.jpg

good JOB~!!!

Monster indeed!

Nice job getting that beast on board!
On a good ol' Fish&Dive to boot!

Now you can start working on improving your picture posing techniques

- always flatten the fish, make sure the tail and the head are at about the same distance from the camera...

Always try to have multiple pics of your trophy catch taken on the water...

Beaut of a tail, congrats again!

Is that Octomoms relative? That thing looks like its been pregnant for 19months .

I would say good job but how can you call 3minutes of fishing a job?

Well, when you catch them that big they get tough to hold out at all the right angles.

But I'll work on it.

Congrats and well done - I had a day somewhat like that last December, two bait, two fish - total fishing time was about 2 minutes. The rest of the time I was getting worked over.

Thank you for the post - always appreciate knowing when the fish are biting and others are doing well - - -

I hear ya! Some guys think its so easy to hold bigg fish! Until they get one like yours they will never know. I think lifting weights helps alot!
