Congrats on your Yellowtail!! Braid has no stretch to it and often times people will pull the hook right out. A bigger hook, back off on your drags and use a rod with a softer tip will help. Last year I used braid for the first time on a sport boat and I could not believe how you can really feel your fish, so much so that I was scared to pull on it. I just took my time and landed 1 yellowtail and 3 Bluefin. Hope this helps.
