That is the kind yellowtail. I have been to Alijos Rocks and fished the big tails. You fish a 50SW with 80 or 100lb and a locked drag. When you get bit you hang on and keep turning the handle in high gear and when you can not turn it any more you go to low gear and try to keep winding. I never got a fish over 30 or so there but I did watch a guys get broke off with that same set up. As far as big tail fishing is concerned Alijos is the place. The biggest yellowtail I have landed was 42 pounds on a 6480 with a 4/0YT and 40 pound line on a surface iron at Cedros, it was a brute and I was lucky to land it.
