Congrats on the first kayak Yellowtail. On only your 2nd trip, is hugely LUCKY also the fact that there were boats and kayaks near to help you. Just for safety tips, as Todd mentioned watch how tight you set your drag and almost never have the rod pointing to the side of the Kayak, it should be towards the bow to give you the best leverage and balance. Always wear the PFD with VHF radio attached and rods and gear should be all leashed.
