That's cool Josh. Nice work. Do yellows ever go crazy when you pull 'em out of the water and pick them up like that?

That's the funny part......

The original intent of the helmet camera isn't what most people think. It's not some high-tech form of self glorification, more "seeing is believing" for most people, and I would rather use actual footage, than having to type a novel that gives people an opportunity to call  . Some people love to read the "play by play" while at work, or during that first cup of coffee in the morning (This Guy ). The helmet cam will offer the best of both worlds, and allow those that "need to see proof" everything they need at the click of a button.The process of releasing big fish is a perfect example. I can tell people how calm Yellowtail are, while being carefully placed on deck, but the fear of the unknown tends to rule out personal judgement in most cases. If handled properly, with good intentions in your heart (they can feel it, just like your dog at home knows when your about to leave), Yellowtail are completely calm, not moving a muscle and allowing you to safely remove the hook 99.9% of the time. I think way more trophy fish would be released if people knew just how easy it is, and sadly gaffing and clipping seems the only option for most anglers. Like anything else, you can write a book with a 1,ooo tips that will make the release process go smoothly, but I will save that for the "how to release a trophy post" (with video ).

I find it easier to just grab them by the base of the tail and lift them out of the water. once they leave the water they 99% of the time go limp and wait for you to do something. (quick Photo OPP then release)

It's nice to see someone who is willing to give back so much. Either by a C&R of a trophy or giving information that some would consider secret. You are an angler and a gentleman. I look forward to seeing you on the water and I look forward to readying and seeing more.

Cool write up. I'm siting in Central Texas as I reply to this thread. I myself like the stories and enjoy the pics. I only went one time for an entire week yak fishing off of La Jolla and I was hooked . That was about 3 years ago. Being pulled around by a 100# thresher was all it took.( I never boated it but it was still awesome for about 15 minutes) I have learned a bunch from this forum over the past few years and appreciate all the good info ya'll post up. Thanks for the report, pics and story. I am hoping to get back there next year and kayak fish with my best friend that lives there.. Adios' for now.. Hoggin' Hank'
