Nice day out

[JeffB]

Hit the water this morning at 7am, started trolling fines at 9ish, hooked up at 10am. 50-60lb BFT!!! Had them jumping all over my brother and I. Coolest thing I ever saw. Unfortunately did not have a gaff. Had the BFT at the side of the kayak for about 10min. Tried putting a strap around its tail. Thing took off out of my hand and snapped my Black Diamond Hybrid and kept the hook for good luck. Managed a 30lb YT on the way back in.

Nice yellow though!

[Matt_Magnone]

Way to go. Just the opportunity to fight one from the yak is epic. Congrats! It ain't over yet.

How do you forget a gaff .... rook ;)

[Hunters Pa]

A big jig can serve as a gaff in a pinch.

[JeffB]

Lol! I gave both of my gaffs away! I will finish a new one this week, one more pic of him blowing up next to the yak!

[Deamon]

There are the lucky shorts! I need some of those. Great job Jeff! Jim

[FISH11]

WTF Jim, you already have three pairs!:D

[Bert Vega]

nice Jeff. You get them next time

[Aaron&Julie]

Thank goodness for the nice yellowtail catch, as losing that TOAD bluefin would be even harder to swallow. BTW, anybody who's seen big tuna circling knows that 50-60lbs on your bluefin at color in your photos isn't an exaggeration.

[FlyFishinYakr]

I wouldn't fret none Jeff. I'd bet $ you get another chance.
FFY :sifone:

[skrilla]

Damn Jeff, what a heartbreaker! What depth you find em at? :D

[Geno Machino]
