Really nice fish! Way to stick with it!

I definitely didn't have the day off, I think only one friend did. The only sure bet holidays are Labor Day / Memorial Day, etc.

SWEET! I was the one you talked to at the launch, after I helped pull your buddy out of the sand. I headed to the pier to make bait, but it was hard to find. Kept going north to the north end of Torrey Pines Golf Course, but had no luck. Headed back south and was not lucky enough to find any Yellows. I had my hopes up after hooking up, fighting for 20+ minutes and getting to within 5 feet of the surface 3 different times a 40+lbs Yellow last Tuesday only to have it come of my circle hook when a large sea lion came up really close by. Once I got back to the condo area it was tons of calicos and one 25" WSB, all got released. It was a beautiful day yesterday and very few PB or Kayaks out there. Congrats on the nice Yellow, some other Kayaker at the landing told me someone had brought in a Yellow. I'm glad it was someone I met. Mark
