Congrats bro. Sorry about almost taking off the whole tail I offered my assistance with the knife job and I was expecting the knife to stop at the bone... errr, sharks don't have bones, duh! Luckily I stopped with 1/2" to go. Damn filet knife can't cut a YT but is a friggen lightsaber on a shark . Anyway, it was fun being out there today. Learned a few things from watching the guys who know, pretty cool.

I would have raced over a little faster but I knew you were in good hands with Kurt. Congrats on the first T. The little ones taste great, but better not to make a habit of it. Nice job.

nah I'm done with it, enough meat for a while, and the hassel isnt worth it when a yellowtail is easier ;-)
LoL! I just didnt wanna lose my thresher at the boat becuase you cut his tail off and i had to watch the rest sink into the abyss. I was gonna set my camera up and record it but it was a boring fight to watch im sure. I kinda just sat there with my rod bent. |

Nice fish! Glad I could lend a hand. You'll get some nice meals from that fish.

Thanks again Kurt. I knew to grab the tail, but solo it wouldn't have gone so well, thanks for lending a helping hand. Now I'm ready for the one that will fill both our yaks ;-) How different would the fight be if hooked in the mouth? maybe a lap shark like brad's almost was?
And Brad it's no biggie i was just messin. Did you get anything under those birds afterwards though? |

WTG on your first T! It's actually better to keep the smaller ones. A friend of mine (Fasha) used to date a girls who researched them in LJ and they are much like Calicos in the fact that the bigger ones are the breeders. Brad is right though....One should do you well for the year.

alot.... they are a different fish when mouth hooked...you can still beat up on the little ones, but you hook one over 200 in the mouth and you better have someone to hand it off to...they will hurt you.. |
