I just relocated to San Diego and spent the past week unpacking and organizing my new place, but all I could think about was getting the Yak and hitting up La Jolla. I Finally finished up and decided to give it a shot.

I got to the launch at 6:00am to lake like conditions and got to the Fishing grounds about 20 minutes later. I went and tossed some swimbaits in the kelp for for a couple calicos and some assorted Rockfish, but I knew where my heart was set.

The Mackeral were in thick, so I went and made bait and flylined a FAT 12" greenback behing my kayak and slow trolled around for a little while. Then ZZZZZZZZZ Fish on and I knew what it was as soon as the fish took its first run.
As soon as I saw color, I realized I didn't have a gaffhttp://www.getbentsportfishing.com/f...milies/eek.gif. When I got the fish next to my kayak I just grabbed his tail and started poppin gills.
What a great way to start out my new life down in san diego. I hope to get the chance to pull on plenty more yellows.

Whats up steve,

Your right, the fish looks alot smaller in the pics. I tend to dwarf the fish I take pictures with.

Nice fish, I haven't seen that flat lately
