Finally got my first YT on a kayak!

Put my time in and finally got some results. Did not have a problem making bait in the morning. Got some nice green backs and a ton of Spanish, most of them on a smaller side. Trolled around anywhere from 60 to 150 feet. After about 2 hrs I decided it was time to switch bait and put on a fresh greenback. Not even 5 min later the bait makes short run (had it on clicker with very little drag). I turned around and saw the biggest blow up. I thought it was a shark or a seal at first but after first set of head shakes I knew what was going on. My drag was set pretty loose as I really did not want to loose my first YT but after a while I tightened it just a hair. Got him to color shortly after. Then I was struggling witch actual gaffing the fish for a few minutes but I managed to bring him in. If someone from here was there yesterday and heard what sounds like screaming of 12 year old girls on Backstreet Boys concert - that was me!
