Only one was injured and that I think was done when sea dog grabbed my fish. Got him back somehow with 4 gashes. So as far as resiliency I would have to see the study myself before I believe it. And my hand is competely rashed up from hand landing these fish the last few trips. It's not an easy idea getting them in fast without wearing them out too bad and getting the hook out without killing them. But I will be releasing anything under 30 lbs from now on. Unless I'm out at home.

Let's do the math

You say you've caught over 100 YT this year, we're right around the 33rd week of the year so this means you would have to have fished almost every weekend and have caught an average of 3 fish per trip just in La Jolla........

Everybody knows yellowtail die if released...

Here's the proof....this yellowtail was released with no more than a hook in it, and it ended up washing ashore at La Jolla earlier this summer.

For those who c and r great. For those who catch and eat great. Both have an opinion that is to be respected. Personally, I love seafood and can eat one fish a week. If I want to bless some family and friends, I will harvest one or two additional. Just sayin..........

1 yellowtail caught this year in LJ, as I haven't really been fishing LJ this year, maybe been out there twice.
We did however put 4 YFT on the boat yesterday, about 12 miles W from LJ.
Hey DosB…I've got a yellowtail sample for you as well. I'll give you a call on your personal line to add this one to your studies. Talk soon.

I should have listened to Nancy Reagan when she had her Just Say No to drugs campaign
