Thanks man! If you're going out again this Sunday, I'll probably see you there!

So sweet!! Sound of the drag is intense!
Looks like you were trying a yoyo (surface?) but the live one got bit. Flyline or did you drop it down?

Yeah, I love that sound! Never gets old... And yes, I had that heavy rod rigged with a 4oz Tady, but it really should've been a surface iron in that moment.
Was putting it away and reeling in my flyline Spanish to swap it for a fresh one when it got bit. Opened up the drag a little to let it take it all the way, then tightened it up again to let the circle hook work it's magic

Congratulations. Excellent job on the video and harvesting that bad boy. You were really putting the heat on.

Great video. Love the bendo action. Great fight action and that Yellowtail gave you a great workout. Great gaff shot. Coming in with all those tourist that are out of control of their kayaks, is a cluster fu**. Even worse when there are idiots swimming in the landing zone.

not an easy feat. congratulations on your 1st! way to go with the video as an extra bonous.

Dude... I don’t know how you land your skiff there without mowing down at least 4-6 tourists. It’s bad enough in a kayak. Either you’re just a pro or you’re crazy(or both??)! I feel like if I had anything bigger with a motor, I’d end up in prison for involuntary manslaughter after making speed bumps out of a few people and taking out a few kneecaps along the way...
And thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Was stoked the footage came out as good as it did! Just wish the aspect ratio wasn’t set to 4:3, but I’ll have that fixed in future videos (assuming I’m lucky enough to catch another soon!).
