Finally got my first Yellowtail...
 

After at least thirty trips I finally accomplished my goal!
Got it on a blue and white hand painted iron :jig:, and a jig stick I just finished wrapping yesterday. Not to shabby... Weighed in at 27 1/2 lbs on my digital scale.

You'll never forget your first...way to stick with it.

Especially after trying for thirty trips :).

WTG!

Persistance pays off. congrats.

Congrats!!! :cool:

Congrats for the well earned fish!

Congratulations! Nice fish!

Stoked for you man. That is a great fish!

On a hand painted iron? Thats awsome!!! There's just something really fulfilling about making your own baits and then scoring with them!!! I always pick up used irons for super cheap and re-hook/paint them....or buy the super cheep mega packs of wack colors that squidco sometimes has and re-painting them, fun stuff:reeling:

Congrats! You'll remember that fish forever! First one of many for you...
