headed out around 7 am with lake like launch conditions. the south swells seem to bypass the shores area. met a guy named Andrew while making bait. I had a tough time making any while he tucked away 6-7 greenies. He then cruises over and offers me one and says "the skunks off" and heads his way and I head mine. These are the kayakers that are nice to meet while on the water.
I eventually make bait after 2 hours and head out to the point to the 150' area. I see one hammer head briefly and and head the other direction. lose all 4 baits to seals then head back to kelp to get 2 more greenies. head back out got hit on quick by a big yellow diving hard. I tightened the drag a hair and poof snapped the 30b flouro. 5 mins later drop another bait. this time yellow on and fighting for 10-15 mins. I was amazed at those deep dives. got him up and gaffed him.
on the way in saw a large whale do a big breach a 100 yards away. Thank you Sven for taking the picture on the water.

Congrats on the first LJ yellowtail. I know this one will be special and taste the best, because of all the hard work and time on the water you put in.
