Yellowtail Release

[dos ballenas]

As noted above yes they are very hardy fish.

In New Zealand they have a tagging program where they gaff fish, tag them, and release them.... and from tag recoveries it seems many of them survive!

There was a small tagging program here for a while too....



you might recognize the pesky yakker in the background

LOL Greg Andrew lurking in the sonar cone?!

I would love to have the opportunity to tag fish. I feel like it would be even more incentive to release more fish.

Having GoPro really helps when releasing too. I feel like even with the fish I keep, the video is the most valuable part of the equation.

The one and only....

Releasing is always a good feeling. I wish we had funds and time to keep tagging yellows. Sadly those days are over for now. One of the fish I tagged in La Jolla was recaptured over a year later.... in La Jolla. Just saying.
