Yeah I was. I was just worried if my gear could handle it since its only ever been tested on calicos, sheepheads, bonito, etc...

It definitely made my week and was nice to have excitement back into kayak fishing. Have become jaded catching smaller fish over the years.

The only bad part was the nonstop paddle back to shore to get it on ice. haha

but cant complain with all the sashimi i have been eating.

Penn 309M with 35 pound on some cheapy penn stick & a Avet MXJ 30 pound on another cheap penn stick.

Of course it hooked up to the 309M.

Now that Im done with college I can afford to move up on reels but the 309 hasnt let me down yet. lol

Congrats on a whale sized yellow! It's always the best on your days when you expect the least, and they turn out to be the greatest! Keep at it, kayak fishing never stopped being fun, and it never will.

Obviously, you're joking. Those happy-paddles, after finally getting the right kind, whether it's your 1st YT, WSB or big 'but, are just about as memorable as getting that fish. Some the easiest, fastest, paddling you'll ever do. After a few more like that fish you'll be more prone to a leisure paddle back in, while savoring it up. That's been our experience, anyway.
Congrats again.
