That's a nice brute of a yellow, great video, and I loved the soundtrack, who plays that?
I don't want to criticize success, but rather offer some advice. If your brother keeps his left hand on the rod butt above the reel while he's fighting the fish, he'll get better leverage, and make it easier when fighting big fish. It also frees the right hand to remain on the reel handle, or even help raise the rod (on top of the left). Keeping the rod pointed to the front of the kayak until the fish is ready to gaff, is also a big help. But, what do I know, I haven't hooked a yellow in 2 years.
A big congratulations on a great trip, and also a big thanks for the timely report (a rarity).

NICE!!!!

Sweet fish...

I dig Gogol Bordello with the vid!

Very nice fish. Get a tethered Game Clip on that sucker soon as it is gaffed, cause you don't want to lose a trophy like that. Kewl Vid.
