Are u Serious? In the OC?
 

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

The tuna are for everyone
 

Not just those at LJ.

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.

Inconceivable.

Yeeeeeeeee :cheers1:

Picked the wrong year to leave OC. Oh well, I'll get mine in August or September.

Lovin the title!:D

Awesome fun day with a talented crew.

Unbelievable! but this is the year of the impossible. Awesome catch and great report. Thanks for sharing.

Blatant plagiarism. Kurt call your lawyer.

Crap....I got up at 4:30 with all intentions to meet you guys at the bait barge at 5:30, went back to bed....Oh well, wait to wack em.:luxhello:

Wow you guys did one Hella of a journey and was reward with the oceans gift.
:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:
Congrats on putting some rare species on the kayak. :you_rock::you_rock:

Gives me hope!
 

That's awesome! Thanks for posting the general area Andy. Anyone interested in giving it a shot tomorrow?

Now I am convinced that the OC fish are more stupider.

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

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

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:

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

Nice report guys thanks for sharing :luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

I thought you always catch fish. You're like a yellowtail magnet, I swear!

Seriously considering playing hooky tomorrow.

PA needs some water time

Nice report, and pics. What pound test leader were you using? You know what they say Andy..... The third time's a charm.

Here's Ken Bendo on his 25# open water yellowtail

Way to go GABE!!!!

Too bad it doesn't count cause it looks like the shark bit the motor off....but better luck next time!!! :eek:!!!


Nice goin'!!!!

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.

Let this be a lesson to all. Sharks can eat the shirt right off your arms.

LMFAO

Great shot of Ken Bendo!!!

Someday...

Awesome!!!

Geno

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!

Nick

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

Whoa!, I'm calling my lawyer Arne!!:D
