Great story and fish. I have to say that I am digging your stars a stripes kayak decoration. I think I will have to hang a flag when I fish. If I ever get to fish again.

Mark I'm stoked for you. It's nice to get on the water
in-between all the stuff life throws your way. Especially
when you come home with your PB, a 30 plus pounder.

It may be a bit early, but is your new kayak a lot faster
than the old?

Unfortunately I don't feel it to be hardly any faster, certainly a lot less stable and no were as good going through the surf than my old X Factor. During the process of trying to bring the Yellow on board I almost rolled the kayak several times due to the weight transfer and the fish kicking a little. I felt like some Nub as the fish went back in the water on either side due to the kayak rocking side to side. I hope to sell and replace this Cuda during or after summer and possibly get a Kraken or a newer X Factor depending of how they feel when I take one out for a test. It's the poor secondary stability and the bows inability to punch through or go over the waves that I don't like. Other that that it is a great kayak, maybe someone that weighs less than me (220lbs) would not have those problems. Thanks Yanni, Mark.

Talking

Finally got around to exporting and embeding the go pro video of the catch on Easter Sunday. Did not edit out any of the crazy hassle trying to board the yellowtail. Enjoy the video, I felt like a NOOB trying to keep balance with that heavy and still green fish. Had to delete 1 song because it was muting all audio due to not releasing copy right of a personal copy of the CD. When watching change the setting to HD either 1080P or 720P for best quality video.
