Nice fish. If you don't mind me asking, what rod and reel did you get your yellow on? Like a 200 size reel?

Thanks for the response. It must've been a blast on the Lexa 300 amd teramar. For sec I thought you caught that on a 200+ size reel and 7 ft casting bass rod...that would've been badass but challenging to land

nice, let us know if you do.

I've caught some pretty big bonito (up to 13 lbs) on a 200 series Curado and 7 ft 2 bass rod, but haven't hooked up yet on a 10-15 lb yellow.

Great job man. That is a good day no matter where you are. When you coming down here again? You are the only one to challenge these grumpy calicos in Asuncion and they are getting lethargic.

On the subject of catching on light outfits, Steveooo and a few of his friends had a year long contest a few years back to see who could catch the largest fish on the Pocket Fisherman or the Snoopy Rod and Reel. There were stories of some melted plastic gears but I always thought that was a cool little challenge between friends.

Hi Ross,
I'm planning to see you in October. Can't wait to piss them bass off again. How's the fishing been?
