YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW
Went for a run in Langa's beasty 285 Boston whaler this morning, about the only boat I was willing to go on with my very dodgy back at the moment.
After over an hour of fruitless trolling and ready to call it quits, we saw a few birds, and within second bang, on. Strange fight, lots of head shakes and dogged runs had us both scratching our heads.....no idea what it was, but nothing I had ever caught before. Through the depths I got a glimpse of the yellow tail, and after much excitement, had it close to the boat, only for it to dissapear out of site several times. Kingies dont like the boat much....Awesome fight.
Lures back in, within minutes, bang, bang bang, tripple header hookup, only limited by the number of lures in the water. The third fish busted off (only two of us on board), but we landed two nice YFT....YELLOW, YELLOW, YELLOW!!!!!!!! Yeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Langas was the biggest.
Lures back in, and bang, bang, bang......holy crap! Another tripple hookup and this time we have it all on gopro. Langa will edit and post later. This time we land all three YFT, after some pretty interesting work winding two rods in at once....... My Calcutta 400B had a heap of line out at one point as I attended to the other rod, and got to a nasty looking cross in the line near the bottom of the spool which almost busted me off if not for a strong thumb.
We kept one on released the others.
Back in, double hookup within minutes.......this is just too much!!! Then as Langa brought the fish to the boat we had up to 15 YFT following.......I got my PE2 stickbait rod out and cast out, had several follow and one hit but no hookup. Amazing stuff!
Back in again and another hookup, another YFT, another release.
Time for the run home with a cold brew and many slaps on the back, back on land before lunchtime. One of the best half days fishing I have ever had!
Cheers Langa!!!!!!!

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Some Aksum action there
Good to see pelagic action like that this early in the season, recently joined the Pgfc and have got my first comp on the weekend. Hope to find some fish like that,will be interesting on 2 and 4 kg since I've never fished that light before :-)

That is truly awesome mate -
That is truly awesome mate - so super jealous
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
