[Bert Vega]

Went out to La Jolla today. Awesome day out on the water. Launched before sunrise. Made bait in the dark and threw a Mac on the fly line and started working my way out. About 20-30 min later boom. Hooked up to my first ever yellow tail. Another 30 min later it was on the yak. 3rd time to La Jolla and like the 6th trip ever on a yak. Couldn't be any happier. Don't have a scale but fish was 41" long and felt pretty close to 30 lbs or so.

I could hear you shouting "hell ya!" from the 3/4! Thats when i came scrambling over to lurk... Too bad the school didn't stick around.

Congrats on the first yellow, its a beast. It's always cool to see someone soo stoked. Well done!

Congrats on there nice fish. I like your style. Join the board saying you would like to try kayak fishing, jump in the deep end, buy a yak and actually get out there fishing, catch a fine fish as your reward :cheers1:

Thanks. I was so pumped catching that fish. I couldn't contain myself if I tried. I was so happy. I ended up calling it a day about an hour after I landed my fish. Cant wait to get back out there!!!!:D

Nice! He learned an expensive lesson learned for sure

[fishnfoool]

Every yellow is nice, but it is always best when it is yours. Great job. That is definitely the first of many to come.

[Bert Vega]

Nice! He learned an expensive lesson learned for sure

Very true. But only half as expensive it should have been.

Congratulations .

:reel:Very Nice!!!!:reel:

[lamb]

Big time congrats on your first!
Very cool. I know I felt the exact same stoke when I picked up my first yella' from a kayak.

I saw you on the water. I was on the boat, we talked. You told us you just hooked up there. How cool... and unusual these days! :)
Loved your friendly attitude!!
Your stoke was contageous. I rubbed some of it off. ;)

[lowprofile]

Hell yeah! nice one! sure beats my first 6 trips. :D

I always measured my fish to the fork and found that 39-40" FL fish were 22-25lbs.

[ratdog]

Congrats, thats always an awesome feeling
