On the water by 730am, started making bait around 8ish. Lots of activity on the surface of the water near the edge of the reserve. Bait was hit or miss along the kelp edge. I ended up with 2 green backs and about 7 spanish and decided it was time to start heading to deeper water.

Lost the first green back shortly after starting to troll. Next up i decided to try a spanish mac, hooked up a good size fish and lost it. Lost another spanish this time to a sea lion. At this point im near the corner of the kelp and decided to start heading out towards these boats in deeper water. Got about quarter of a mile out when i hooked up on a green back in about 120ft of water. My first tuna from the kayak.

a little confused about if its a bluefin or yellowfin any help determining the difference between them would be great.

It's a bluefin for sure. It has a short pectoral that doesn't reach the dorsal. Congrats!

oh wow that's a shallow water tuna! good work.

and that's a bluefin.

What a first post!

Thank you
 

Congrats on your tuna, good to see you got on to BWE.

Thanks again for the Spanish Mackerel, I was just about to call it a day when you came along and gave me what you had. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make anything happen but at least I was able to spend the rest of he day OTW and fish. Hopefully someday I can return the favor or pay it forward.

Here are the photos I took

Solid dude!

Dam, great catch and first post! Can only get better from here on...
