I'm always happy to snap a shot of a nice tail.

See you on the water.

Congratulations RoeBoat!!! I met you and your son out at Newport last week -- You said you were going to get a white seabass, not a great big yellowtail!

I was hoping for one of each. :) Yes, that was us. It was good to meet you. I'll keep my eyes open for you in NPH.

No shortage of Yellowtail in La Jolla, Roger.

I want you both to know that the YT was really my fish! Had I not gotten sea sick (FYI – 5 hour energy drinks and coffee don’t mix) Sunday, and a meeting on Monday morning, it would have been me in the picture with that damn YT lying across my lap and not <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /><st1:country-region alt="" 0="" w:st=" border=">Kent. </st1:country-region>I did learn that when sea sick, you really can sleep on an X-Factor!

The fact of the matter is "that Yellowtail" was going to end up on Kent's deck either way. I made sure to switch his light action Badarka bass rod with a Seeker of mine. Then we ripped the old 20 lb mono off his Avet SX and put on some fresh 30 lb P-Line...the stage was set. This simply allowed my to relax when he hooked his fish. The hardest part of fishing is finding your target. The sour taste left in your mouth from losing fish to equipment failure is hard to swallow. Kent looked like an old pro and brought that fish to the surface in no time. All I can say is that if you were there you probably would have caught one too ;).

good to know i always wonder who bought that rod:D

Its all about being in the right place at the right time, and it doesn't hurt to have a fish whisper whispering up the fish. Great fish. Great guide.
