LJ missed my chance

Well got to LJ and was in the water by 0530 made my way out and made bait. I had a tube full of pacific macs. It was just after 730 and I stopped to do a little bottom fishing. My rig gets down to the bottom and at that time my fly line mac goes off, line is streaming off the reel. The fight was on he turned and ran at me and saw that it was a yellow. When I got tension on him he made some runs to the bottom. I started working him up. I was near the end of getting him in striking distance and the hook went. Everything is slack and I'm pissed. It still was a good day on the water. I got my first taste of a YT. Ill finish the job next time. When I was coming in the chovies were out in full force.

Sorry, to bad about the loss. I was in the blue kayak and told you of the yellows jumping out of the water between us before disappearing. The anchovies were massed in shallow water before noon right in front of the launch 100+ yards on either side. Amazing sight!

I was using a "j" live bait
Hook. I was bringing him up and then bink and slack. I reeled up and still had my hook and everything. I just came undone.
