That's a beautiful fish. He gave his all, run after run. Nice story too.

Especially with that rod you landed him on, Bob. I've got to give you credit, extra points for sure...all bent in half, awesome to watch!

Another look at your trophy. I love this sun through the tail shot.

Nice fish! Josh stop telling people to hold their fish way out in front of them, it is silly.........jealous!

Hey Bob,

Just let that 20 Pound Yellowtail be the big fish that it is. Since I have yet to catch my first yellowtail, when I do, I will want to think it is a big fish even if it is half the size of your 20 pounder.

So Congratulations on that big fish.

My first YT was huge....like 10lbs until Josh reset my calibration and it became like...4-6lbs

20lbs beats my best by a solid lb. and is beautiful to behold. Damn.

post script...I made the pic!!! If you look very closely at his right eye (picture left), you will see a tiny sand colored smudge off of Josh's bow.....that, kind sirs, is me!!! If it looks like I am fishless it's because I am.

Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.--Henry David Thoreau

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. --John Buchan

To some its more about the journey. Others the outcome. For some it is both.

It's no secret that you can catch YT's at that "spot", on big baits caught at that "pier"... and we all know Josh is the man when it comes to LJ. But for all those who don't have fat wallets....

"You can observe a lot just by watching." Yogi Berra

The science of fishing can be had from books; the art is learned by the catching and losing of fish." --W. H. Blake - Brown Waters

"Most fishermen swiftly learn that it's a pretty good rule never to show a favorite spot to any fisherman you wouldn't trust with your wife" John Voelker

once again

ed that yt... now go get your own and leave the spam for the next guy. Thanks for the report!

Congratulations!! If I caught that I'd be on cloud nine, too! Beautiful YT, good going.

Out of bed on time, but early enough to get a parking ticket...

Parking ticket... hmm. That was on me. I just did not pay any attention to the signs. At O-dark O'Clock some of us are just not into calculating which Thursday of the month it might be.

I grew up in La Jolla. Back in the day you could go to the beach and park anywhere, anytime. You could even enjoy and adult beverage after a long day of whatever you chose to do at the beach. Of course we are much more civilized now. Somehow I just don't feel quite as free.

If the MLPA restrictions become law, I just might become a rebel.
