YT till it hurts.
 

Decided to join the Moyer last minute, I am glad I did. Nice people, good food, great cause. Thanks Matt and friends for putting this on.:luxhello:


Got my first YT from a kayak.

Not a huge fish but pulled nicely on a 20 reel and an old Ugly Stick.

Got him as I was about to cast a jig to a surface boil, too slow to reach for the stick and the school must have been coming right at me. Glad I still had my last greenback dangling in the water.:)

I ate sushi till it hurt!

sashimi, nigiri sushi, rolls. Hali and YT.

Congrats Matt !

Nice! congrats on first YT from yak :)

LEGIT sushi tray............

Nice presentation!!!

Way to go Matt, those are some killer looking dishes you prepared!

too cool congrats

Congrats, now we're hungry.

Great presentation on the sushi! I am impressed

Nice Matt!

Congrats Matt. Man, that sure is an awesome looking spread.

Nice color on that meat....
nice fish...

Very nice! Good thing you're not having to bail water every 5 minutes, either.

Yum!! Someday I'll get one.

Congrats on your first, but the food looks insane!!!

WOW!!!

"Holy crap I've never seen this before! Hey guys they're boiling over here.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!" screamed Matt. Hahaha or something like that. Good times and during the tourney nonetheless. Congrats:luxhello:

YUM! That stuff looks fresh and delicious! Congrats on your first YT from a yak. That's a good feeling I'm sure. I wouldn't know:rolleyes: I tried and tried before finding myself under the water. I wish I'd have known about this website while I was an avid kayak fisherman.

I saw that picture of the sushi in last weeks sushi magazine.

P.s.
Who's cool kayak is that in the background?

you are the sushi master!
very nice!
congrats on your first!

Congrats on your first Matt. You'll always remember your first.

That sushi looks good. I gotta try that one day

GBF

Damn it, you beat me too it...looks alittle suspect:reel:congrats Matt
nice yak

Congrats on your First kayak YT Matt.
I Think I'm a little more impressed by the plate presentation , Looks Delicious! :notworthy:

hey i didn't get my invite????? :p

Man, u sure know how to present! Congrats. Are u one of those professional food photographers?

yeah he took it when he was at YAMA sushi, out to dinner one night last
week...lol:reel:

:cheers1:

I was wondering since, he had the sushi setup.


Sushi trays, soy sauce, Unless he went to the 99cents sushi market.

Cats out of the bag now.:rolleyes:

You're making me hungry..............Nice job.

Never tried hali sashimi always too worried about bugz in them, isn't it common for them to have worms/parasites

Most fish have worms in them, just add a little seasoning and you're good.

All kidding aside....from my experience the only area where you'll find worms in the halibut is near the stomach. I believe that once the halibut dies the worms move into the meat ergo worms in your fillet. I've seen a few of them here and there, I just pull-em out. I'm sure that if this was a health issue there would be plenty of us with the runs:eek:

congrats matt! not a bad fish at all!!

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Been wanting to make my own sushi spread for a while, but promised myself that I wouldn't till I got my YT.

I'll just say that making sushi takes 5 minutes to learn and many years to master. Try it and you will gain a very high level of appreciation for the master sushi chef who does 30 kinds of fish in 300 ways...all day long.:notworthy:


As far as the Hali meat, George got it, the area by the belly is the only area I have ever seen parasites. This does not mean that there can't be "unseen" critters somewhere. Two ways to deal with potential parasites

Cook it

Freeze it for like 3 days.

One thing I did learn is that Hamachi only refers to pen raised YT, which in my opinion tastes much better then the wild stuff. Much more fat in it (buttery) and since the farm fish do not use their muscles as much the meat is more tender.

I believe that a 4 year old wild caught YT, is called Buri.:)


There you go: A Polish guy giving you sushi info.....you have seen it all!:eek::eek::eek:

Well done Matt, great looking sushi :cheers1:

Very cool,
congrats on your first, nice fish :cheers1:

Great looking sushi and rolls.

I finally starting messing with home made sushi this year. So far, I got it to taste great. The presentation, as well as "tightness" is a disaster. They're falling apart, look like a mess, but yummy.

bardzo dobre!
 

YT i sushi sa bardzo dobre!!

Lamb

Just like most things....tighter= better!



:D

Congrats on your first!
 

The Cherry popper will not be forgotten. :cheers1:


Rubbing in the fact that you've now caught a Yellowtail and your friends haven't, yet---priceless. :)
