Hook Em & Cook Em January Submissions

[TJones]

Josh and I started the day around 7:30 am on January 15th. The surf was very small, around 1 to 1.5 feet. It was a smooth launch even if Josh did not like my run and gun technique. Finally after hours of looking for the fish we came across a school, and I dropped down my blue and white salas jig. When I looked on my meter and saw my jig in the middle of the school, I started reeling as fast as I could. My rod quickly doubled over and I was hooked up. My drag was set pretty tight and the fish was quickly subdued. I look on my meter and saw the school coming through again and quickly dropped back down. The same technique and I was hooked up again. Although these fish were similar in size, the second one didn't want to give up so easily. Estimated weights are high 20's to low 30's.


Recipe as follows:
Marinade the Yellow Tail fillets with Soy Vay - Teriyaki Marinade for at least half an hour. Grill the fillets to your liking or until you have the proper grill marks for presentation. The fish was complemented with grilled asparagus that was lightly seasoned and drizzled with olive oil. A slight sprinkling of parmesan cheese to finish it off. The final side dish was some authentic Armenian rice.

We are not wine connoisseurs so we grabbed what we had on the shelf which was a bottle of Chardonnay. Enjoy everyone . Tight lines .
