Nice fish. That one woulda made the trip home.

Nice YT, and hats off for the release. But buy a lip gripper and tether it rather than a game clip. As gentle as you can insert it, it only takes one good thrash of their head to ruin their own gills.

I was wondering how you did, saw your post asking for company. Congrats on the yellow and great job with the release! I knew there was someone else out there other than me that releases more yellows than they keep (or at least it seems that way) haha

Did you catch that yellowtail on the spinning gear setup and what is it a Penn Spinfisher V reel? What rod?

Ugly Stik Tiger 20 - 50lbs - MODEL # BWS220170
Penn Spin Fisher V with dual drag - SSV6500LL

Note that many ratings on the spinfishers are understated. (I have two of them) I have about 300 yards of 65-lb power-pro main-line on my SSV6500LL. The drags come on radically strong as well with published rates being easily obtainable. The rod and reel are sized well for each other.

Until this fish, I always felt this system was too much power for where we go. It usually just winches them in. Glad I had it for this one.
