Favorite Fish of 2014? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Without a doubt it has to be my first Kayak Yellow Tail caught (landed) off La Jolla 10/25/14. Also it was the best eating Yellow Tail I've ever had!

No personal bests, nor notable first of species, this year. But I had a great year for catching nice fish from some not so likely spots. I got YT from San Onofre, Torrance and Hermosa for the first time. I got WSB from San Onofre and Torrance also for the first time. But I'd have to say that my favorite catches this year have been on underwater video.

My favorite fish of 2014 were all caught by friends on our trips going to Baja, your smiles warm my heart and keep me going back! Thank you all.

Cabrilla: Not my biggest fish, but being in Baja fishing with my dad in the tandem makes this my favorite of 2014.

29.5lb WSB had only been to LJ a handful of times. Missed the 30lb club by that much. Lol

Some are actual fish, and some are passing on the love of the sport.
That whole time on the water. With my brother, with friends actually getting paid to fish scenario, and other times the eyes of a 5 year old getting her first fishing rod, totally and absolutely psyched on the whole concept.
I will try to get out one more time in 2014, but I end the year smiling.

Wow, I have had quite a few memorable catches this year. But hands down my favorite catch of the year was during my son's first fishing trip. We took the boat out to catch some macs and Stripers. Couldn't get any Stripers from our usual holes on the water, so we brought the macs back to the docks. After seeing his Daddy catch a few, Chaz was ready and when it was his turn, he cranked the handle like he meant it and in short order we CPR'd this guy!
