La jolla Yellowtail Video - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Great first video. I was surprised when I saw the small compact reel, but I could tell it wasn't the average curado. It had great pulling power and you were just killing it the way you were reeling in line. Nice fish, so good to see your catch. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, and the tranx HG is great. Seems like it reel that yellow like nothing? Are you running full braid? If so what lbs? I wanna bring it out to LJ and pull up a yellow or White Sea bass, any pointers?

Nice job on the video and fish. Might want to think about mounting the camera (and fighting the fish) on the other side of your yak. It will allow you to more easily get the fish close holding the rod in your left hand. And make it less difficult to reach with the gaff in your right hand. That is how I was taught anyway.
