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.

Thanks! I don’t mind letting them run a bit... but not TOO much

To be perfectly honest, I don’t think catching yellowtail from a boat will ever be the same... it’s exponentially more fun in a kayak!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Production value not exactly top-notch, but I’m not going for any academy awards here lol. This one made some nice fillets and I made sure to spread it around to friends and family that I know will use use it right away. To me that’s one of my favorite parts(next to catching the fish of course!).

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!).
