First fish post - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

driftwood · 02-28-2009, 08:11 AM

Although I have caught yellowtail on my kayak in the past, I never posted them because they weren't anything to write about averaging about 18 lbs. These Y.T. that you see here are the biggest yellowtail I have caught so far, each one weighing close to 30 lbs and over. This past Tuesday was the most epic day of fishing high I have ever experienced. Almost every kayaker was hooked up and being dragged around in what must have looked like a kayak derby.

Just had to share my excitement!
