Took off to Catalina Island on my buddies Skipjack 9:00pm Thursday night for a awesome fishing trip.

Got into the bigger Forkies at 7:00am, went 3 for 4 on them.

What a great way to spend the morning. I'm envious... outside of getting seasick... all I ever catch while fishing is my ear or finger.
Now that is some grilled fish!!! Plated pic looks good to me & I'm sure it was tasty.
 
Great catch and awesome looking cooks. Brings back memories of going out of Newport or Dana Point and spending a couple of days fishing out by Catalina or going out of Long Beach and going out to the oil derricks and hauling in sea bass....Great times!

Thanks Dustin, Yellowtail are tricky fish to catch as they head for anything that will break your line.

Thanks Robert, I'm lucky, I have never been sea sick in my life, but I see that it destroys people.
I hear the patch works quite well.

I bet you have some great fishing stories Rich, I'm lucky my buddy just move back into my neighborhood and his boat is in the water.

Thanks Barb.
 
Jeff...

Great looking catch and equally great looking meals !!!

(Sad when the stuff we normally catch is about the size of your bait.)
( fresh water stream stuff only. no need for Dramamine ;) )

Here you go Bob, I fish the June Lake Loop and beyond, every year the week before Labor day.
I tried Dramamine once, and i felt like i was going to fall asleep.

 
Damn That is a great catch!!!!! Fishing is great off our local waters!!!!! I was in San Clemente and saw a few sharks too over the weekend. Great pics!!!! Time for me to book a trip soon!!!!
 
Congrats on the great catch Jeff! I've fished off that Isle and never even came close to that
