Smile La Jolla 6/18/2021 on the Solo Skiff and another PB Homeguard.

La Jolla 6/18/2021, I did not expect to turn out like it did. I thought since it took 7 years to top my PB Homeguard Yellowtail, that it would be a while. Not 13 days later, in almost the identical spot, void of any structure and shallow compared to how I normally fish. Learned I need to add alternative mount points for the Reliable Fish Bag, for when carrying a large fish (ie, Homeguard, 30-40 lb Yellowfin Tuna, ect.) the bow won't rise as high and cuts through the chop more. It still goes good, but it just splashes more and you get wetter. It will plane better if the weight is more over the bait tank, instead of all the way forward. Normal conditions or non really big fish are never a problem. Watch the video to find out the funny circumstances just before hook up. Thanks for watching. Enjoy the Fish Porn! PS: Just added a still from the landing. I took it using the GoPro9 and for some reason I could not find it when I was posting first. .

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet! That fish has probably broken off several anglers over its lifetime. Maybe even a few on here...

Or I also thought, that could have been one of the 11 under 25 lbs Yellowtail I caught and released during 2018-2020. At least it feel like it finally paid me back with good fish JuJu.

Thanks Yanni. I guess it will give me a chance to try some more of your recipes and have a little more variety of how I prepare my delicious Yellowtail. See you out there soon.
