Congrats Dan!

Yellowtail Mayhem

Started really slow with nothing but big shoals of bait. Saw one bait school get pummeled early and nothing else until about 8-9. I went 2 for 5. all on greenbacks. Had numerous followers on the iron and plastic. Sometimes 5-6 fish chasing it. 1St fish was a dink 7-8 pounds. 2nd fish was a good one buried me and broke. Retied, same scenerio, not 5 minutes, hooked run, run down, kelped, pop! Then the Yellows went off and as I am freaking on the followers. Bit on the greenback again and land a 12 pounder. Current and breeze were working north to south and the paddle in took me 2 hours, mostly because there were YT popping up all the way to the point. I had one under my yak that looked 4 feet long. On my way in got picked up while talking to Jimmy and looked like this one was heading to open water, but sounded and found that layed out stringer and pop! Hey Arne, What is better than pulling a couple YT out of that mayhem? Trust me the "Golden Boy" knows. Kelvin knows too........variety.
