7 Big Bonito on Shimano Butterfly Jig

We have been catching Bonito, but where are the yellowtail?!

Don't feed the seals.

Yes don't feed the dogs. It teaches them to follow and take what is yours not theirs. Next time that cute seal will be taking your yellow at the side of your kayak.

Never feed the POS seals, you definitely broke the cardinal rule of kayak fishing. If you want to feed these roaches, theres seaworld.

Are you licking the camera????

Nice dude. You guys are amp'd!!! Way to score on them them tiger tunas. So fun on the light tackle.

I hate it when you get a tangle on your thing. :eek:

You guys are too funny. That's how to have fun.

Great job on finding the fish! I love catching bonito on light tackle. Quickly bleed them and ice them for best eating I think.

PS: Thanks for being cool with the suggestions of the commenters above, they are spot on. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...405-story.html

Nice catch! Is that an Outfitter?

feed the seals you bring the more seals

Just in case no one has mentioned it, DON'T FEED THE SEALS!!

Don't worry about these haters... they can't even tell the difference between seals and sea lions :rolleyes:

Great video and post looks like you guys had a blast!:cheers1:

Ok... so since you hook a fish it is YOURS? Actually the dog is the local who belongs there, and you are taking HIS fish. Also, any kayak who is getting their YT robbed by dogs in LJ is fighting their fish like a sissy.

I am so sick of people blaming dogs for their poor fishing skills.

The only "roaches" in La Jolla are the human beings, especially the trolls on the forum who hate on beginners and make up rules about fishing.

No actually, ask any biologist and they will tell you feeding an animal only encourages it to come up to people looking for food. And yes when that fish is on MY line it is mine. You're right any time a dog gets your fish at the side of the boat =you're a sissy. Because many anglers have never had that happen.

Sealions have ears. Seals have holes. My expertise degree in biology with a minor in marine biology. Have a nice day see you on the water. Tight lines

What does hate have to do with the advice of not feeding dogs!? I too say don't feed them, then do what you want and enjoy your fishing.

Seals/sea lions.......no one really gives a shit what they're called, the point is to not feed them.

No worries. Feed the sea lions. But be sure to not feed the sharks! The sharks!!!

A. It's not your fish until it is in the boat (or kayak).
B. It's not important what the animals are called, they eat fish.
C. They are quick learners, feed them once and they will catch on.
D. It's a good idea to not encourage them to look at kayaks (or boats) as sources for food.
E. They can get aggressive, and they are bigger then you.

Yes all correct

Whoops, won't feed the seals again guys! We caught a smaller bonito, it was bleeding and threw it back, instantly a seal zipped over and caught it, so it was a semi-intentional feeding.

Anyways, It was a great time. 2nd Time kayak fishing - ever.


Yes it is a 2011 hobie outfitter.

Except for Weddell seals.

I just want to feed and love all the abused and misunderstood marine mammals. 😚

Yes, best way to get the salt off the lens. You will notice some shots are sort of blurry/cloudy, this is from a thin layer of salt/sunscreen on the lens.

i feed seals to sharks :cheers1:

I doubt anyone ever accused you of giving a shit about marine life... Its definitely a first for me, thanks! I'm sure that attitude will work real well in the next MLPA closure debate when some plucky fisheries biologist is ripping us to shreds.

Oh but if some kook at the launch calls your yellowtail a tuna, I bet you love that. I never said it was a good idea to feed them, I merely suggest that the internet not dogpile on this poor bastard in one of his first posts.

Especially when they are out there having 10 times more fun than all the grumpy old "locals" in ProAnglers.

Awsome Video...
 

I seriously watched that twice and was cracking up. Keep them coming!

Nice Catch. I still haven't worked up the courage to try bonito. Maybe next time, I will bleed and ice one.

And yeah, lets go easy with the Bloody Deck-ish posts.

I don't know what was more humorous the video or the peanut gallery on the form. Good action all the way around!

My cat is just stupid for fish too. The second I open the door with fish she's buzzing around me like a fly. Your cat scored big time. Mike

Jlabs63, no courage needed about bonito. Just bleed em and keep them cool and they'll good. I've eaten bonito BBQ-ed, smoked, seared, civeche, poki, even sushi.
I caught one yesterday and made a big batch of "tuna" salad. My wife and kids destroyed it. Mike

Damn skippy!

Katsuo no tataki for the win, bruh. Get in touch with the inner Japanese!
