Yellowtail Release

Still working on my 2017 compilation... but here's a little preview.

If your freezer/cooler is full, consider releasing some of these big healthy wintertime breeders! The "homeguard hypothesis" is gaining support in the fisheries community, and the big breeder you release could contribute to generations of LJ yellows in the years to come!

There is nothing better than watching big yellowtail swim away ... probably a better feeling than catching it honestly.

Did you lip that fish? Not sure if you did that only because it was a somewhat smallish fish or because it's fairly harmless (to your hands) to do that even with the bigger YT.

Go on a 3/4 trip out of san diego in the summer and you will see yellowtail swimming away all day long. You will feel great!

Congrats very nice video and a great post on something very worthwhile. Had the pleasure to be able to release several good size Yellows in 2015, last year I just didn't get to go fishing enough. I wish now I had taken more pictures, only remembered once and posted on August 2015. Last year I released all the Yellow Tail I caught during the Islander San Clemente Kayak Fishing 2.5 day trip. I was an easy choice since they were all 9-13 lbs. Thanks for sharing Chris.

Sarcastic? Nothing wrong with releasing fish ... and who needs to go on a 3/4 when you have a kayak.

I might start releasing some after I catch one or two, but the first one is going in my belly

I believe he is referring to all the noobs who lose fish on the 3/4 rental road trips.

I guess I took it as sarcastic also, because what i've seen on boats is they like to maximize the fish count. I have seen the deck on the way in with large numbers of very small fish when that's all they found. After only catching large Yellows from a kayak and releasing all the small ones, all I could think when I saw that many small 8-12 lb yellows, was "Baby Killers".

Are the YT's safe to handle? Both for the fish and for us? Curious because I have no idea.....
