The tuna are for everyone

[Iceman]

July 15th launching at 5:30am 4 of us went in search of tuna and collectively scored, going 3 for 5, one chewed off and one popped off. We also had a couple bit and spit. The only action I had was the pick up of my sardine and then dropped before getting it in gear. This will continue to be the year that history will be made! Get on it! Exciting day, post em up! :D

Badass! I saw you on the water in La Jolla a few weeks ago. You paddled up to me on the water, but it was slow for everyone that day. Congrats on the paddle tuna! And a yellow too! I guess Dana will be the new La Jolla

[PAL]

Historic. No surprise with that crew. Wow, solid. Andy's got next.

[DanaPT]

great job. I was debating doing what you did or drive to LJ with some of the guys.

The guys at the Jig Stop were talking about YFT and BFT. I figured on the "sure-thing" and took the drive south.... lol.

Congrats and thank you for the inspiration!

:luxhello:

[nickc5]

I was out there Tuesday on my buddy's bass boat and wasn't so lucky. Freaking A! Great job.

Hey, he didn't bite it off til he was next to the yak. The first run of these bft is unrealistic and unbelievable. I seriously thought I was gonna get spooled.

Been putting in some time and been rewarded! Not stealing the thunder from these bosses, but been fishing off some boats and have scored on some Yft. Yesterday was just one of those days. Hooked a Mako, chased some Dolphins, and boiling tuna for a long day in the books. Doin it again tomrw!

[katchfish]

Sweet pics Andy! You're next, you must be saving your cherry for that fiddy pounder!!

Blatant plagiarism. Kurt call your lawyer.

[DESTROYER]

[katchfish]

Zed, Ha!

The "tuna are for every one" goes a little deeper the that. Ask that OG dude Holymackerel!

Ha Ha!:)

A jar of Skippy, two hotdogs and a porterhouse and that wire brush and Viejo Guapo expats will be knocking at my door!:D

[steveooo]

Insane! Fitting that the OC Tuna Kayak flag goes to 3 of the OG's that have been on the yak for years before the sport made it to the big show... aka shark week.

Andy, you'll get a few more chances this year. Plus you should still be stoked for all those out of the blue seabass you pull out in december, and torrance, and seemingly whenever you want one. :the_finger:

Congrats guys :cheers1:

That is Bad ass.

I need to get out there and give that a shot.

[cabojohn]

Inconceivable.
You can see the cliffs of insanity. :D

Congratulations guys!
You guys get the Stanley Cup of Kayak Fishing.

How far past the barber poles did you go out. Or how about a total round trip?

[Iceman]

Ken said we logged 12 miles, you can see the scale at the right corner of my F/F We were less than 4 miles out. The fleet of boats was about 6-7 miles out and killed em that morning.

[katchfish]

BFT tacos, tasty!

I tried a new "sauce", jalapeño aioli. I got the recipe out of Westways Magazine.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/katchfish/unnamed_zpsjsrreka8.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/katchfish/media/unnamed_zpsjsrreka8.jpg.html)

Well received by the "Chopped" judges!:D

You can of course tweak the recipe to your own taste. I added more peppers, garlic and lime zest.

Enjoy!:cheers1:

[sanomick]

Way to go!!! This is the year.

[LEEZO]

another incredible post! nice work fellas.

[gabe]

Great day! Sorry you didn't get one, Andy. Great crew to fish with, evev though one of us is the Pied Piper of sharks.

LOL,

Should i just change my name to Tiburon?

Man, you and Ken are a crack up. Seeing the Mako almost jump on Kens lap left me in awe.

Andy, I wouldn't be surprised if you land a 50#er. You always get your monster.
huh, can't embed this correctly, oh well
