My First La Jolla Yellow - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Nice fish.
Why does everybody think that this Josh guy is responsible for them catching fish? You guys need to give yourselves a little more credit. You're the one who caught the fish, not Josh. People have been catching fish that big long before this Josh guy came around.

Better yet, why does this guy posting a great fish have to turn into a bashing of Josh. IF JOsh gave him some good advise and he credits him for the help, what is the issue there.

Great Fish by the way. Catching one that size as your first kind of ruins you though. That one will be hard to beat.
I had a client, fifteen minutes into the first time fishing on a kayak caught a Striped Malin, where do you go from there. He probably never got on a kayak again, just no way to top that fish.

Obviously you don't know this "Josh guy"... Nice fish Gabe!!

Caballito · 07-05-2009, 02:10 PM

Woah dude, woah. If you met him you wouldn't be saying that. He is always there to help and has helped me and others who have asked. He's a good guy to have around.

At the risk of being accused of piling on, I need to post my take on the latest "Josh Controversy". My guess is that most people who consider Josh to be anything less than a huge asset to this community either do not know the man or are simply jealous.

Fact: Josh is a tremendously skilled fisher.

Fact: Josh makes his living by teaching others how to become more successful fishers

Fact: When you are very good at what you do, you will generate a lot of well deserved attention, as Josh has.

These are facts, not opinions. If anyone has a problem with this, they need to chill out and get over it.

Thanks everyone for your comments...the kayak comunity is 1/2 the reason I love this sport so much!!!

It was a good 40min fight as I had very light floro on. And for a big guy like myself I def enjoyed a nice ride around. When the fish took it's third run I honestly got a little disappointed as I was sure I had a small T or ray on. But that disappointment quickly turned to a shit eating grin when I looked over the rail to see that beautiful yellow color!!
It was on a green back down low but I have been seeing some good surface action in the morning.

Good luck out there!!

Sounds like you had a brief San Clemente T flashback there. Nice going on a beautiful fish.
