Catalina island yellows

[Nefarious]

And I am talkin a crowd. Jason G and I arrived at the area about 4:30am after getting tanked by Paul on the LB Carnage,Thanks. in the wind and weather on the backside of the island. That was interesting. Picked a gap in the more east area and set anchor. As the light starts to come up a boat or two around us hook up and get a WSB or Yellow , but nuthin for us. Hear a splash off our stern, expecting to see thr furball, instead a 5 second foamer of Yellows erupts right behind us. As they sink out my bow rod goes bendo and I am on.Get it in hand and my stern rod is fully bent in the holder. I tall Jason to grab it. Hes not to used to small boat fishin,rod is on the east side of the boat, fish is haulin *** west and Jason is pinned unable the extracate the rod from the holder.L

LWe,ve all seen it and its still funny.Hand him the rod I'm on and get the other out of thre holder, around the motor, we're all clear. Gaff my fish, clear the decks for Jason as he continues with the fish he's on.Comes to the rail and over on the gaff.Now we're feelin better

As we reset the the rigs I show Jason how to better rig his up, he sends it to the bottom. As the rod goes in the holder it goes bendo and for just a second he stands there looking at it like its stuck on the bottom, then notices the 40# line burnin off the ol' Penn 505 an his one comes out of the holder for him. After the bite disappeared we moved in for a bunch of Calicos, mostly released, went back out to the area to try some more. No love for us, but others hung a few. All-n-all a reel gud trip

Good Job.

You're in my old stomping grounds. I was a pinhead on "Freelance" out of DL in Newport for 4 years back in the mid/late 80's.

I miss chucking irons off the rocks at Seals for big cudas. Other than that, Don the owner was a slave driver. I couldnt wait to get away from that boat...haha.
