Very nice forkie. Good job on the release. As long as you are measuring, get a girth measurement. The formula for getting the weight from the length and girth is actually pretty accurate on those yellows.

Nice score, the other one looks way fatter !

Nice fish. That one woulda made the trip home.

Nice YT, and hats off for the release. But buy a lip gripper and tether it rather than a game clip. As gentle as you can insert it, it only takes one good thrash of their head to ruin their own gills.

I was wondering how you did, saw your post asking for company. Congrats on the yellow and great job with the release! I knew there was someone else out there other than me that releases more yellows than they keep (or at least it seems that way) haha

Did you catch that yellowtail on the spinning gear setup and what is it a Penn Spinfisher V reel? What rod?
