First Yellowtails of 2024 season on my 2016 Parker DV CC at San clemente island, California

Headed out to 209/279 but found sparse kelp, so we pushed on to San Clemente Island's front side. After trying fly lining with live sardines without success, we switched to slow trolling-and that's when Captain Brian hooked the first 22.62 lb yellowtail. Despite trolling more with no luck, we spotted fish on the sonar, switched back to fly lining, and I landed a baby yellowtail along with some bonitas. These were our first yellowtails of the 2024 season. It was a great day on the water, and we even set a new record with my Parker: San Clemente Island to Dana Point in just 1 hour and 45 minutes at a cruising speed of 36 mph, covering a total of 120 miles. 🎣 @parkerboats ‪@Fishingwithjameschoi‬ ‪@parkeroffshore‬
209/279에서 켈프가 거의 없어, 우리는 산 클레멘테 섬 앞 해안으로 좀 더 가기로 결정했습니다. 우리는 살아 있는 살딘으로 낚시를 시도했지만 아무런 물고기도 잡히지 않았어요. 그래서 우리는 천천히 살딘을 트롤링하면서, 그리고 바로 그 때, 캡틴 브라이언이 첫 번째 22.62 파운드의 옐로테일 을 잡았습니다. 계속 트롤링을 해도 어떤 물고기도 물어오지 않아서, 우리는 소나로 물고기를 발견하고 다시 살딘을 물에 던져, 그리고 저는 작은 옐로테일과 보니타를 잡았습니다. 이것들은 2024 시즌 첫 옐로테일이었습니다. 물 위에서 좋은 하루였고, 우리는 내 Parker로 새로운 기록을 세웠습니다: 산 클레멘테 섬에서 다나 포인트까지 단 1시간 45분 동안에 36마일의 속도로 120마일을 달렸습니다. 🎣 @parkerboats @fishingwithjameschoi

@@solo022667 thanks bill. You been watching for a while. You know…. Thank you sir !

[@suziet6176]

Awesome! Congrats on the catch! Yellowtails make you work for it. I’ve caught 25-35 lb yellowtails and thought they were 50 lb bluefins or yellowfins…until you see color. The skipjacks are fun to catch.

[@glenngray1201]

Awesome video and nice boat! Looks like it was a good flat day out there! San Diego native here. Only ever done 4-6 day charters. If you ever need someone to split fuel costs, let me know!

Awesome video guys

[@timmiller3133]

Yellowtail looked all of 25n maybe 30 lbs.👏🎣

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

We don’t weigh yellows unless we think it’s gonna be bigger than 40lbs. Everything else is just yellows and baby yellows. Lol I don’t think it was 30lbs for sure. But it was a big boy for sure. Thanks for watching Tim.

[@davkrat5]

Nice! We hit SCI last Friday and it was DEAD. No current no fish.

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

It’s gonna happen soon. Limits on big yellows. Tight lines my fishing brother !

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Hello KZbin Folks. This video was shot on last Saturday 7.13.2024 on GoPro 8, GoPro 10, and iPhone 15. Capt Brian and i met in a RV parking while fixing our boats. Lol Capt brian is really good fisherman and he is crazy about fishing like myself. lol My apologies for profanity, excessive OMG, background music was little too loud in volume, that awful beep sound, and etc. (and don’t be telling my wife about me smoking, She is gonna be pissed. Lol). Think someone is going to mention about me putting in first gear again. Lol. (Where are my millennial keyboard warriors. JK). Thanks for watching. Think we are gonna have some epic 2024 fishing in our beautiful southern Pacific Ocean. Tight lines - my fishing brothers. Thessalonians 5:18. James Choi ❤❤❤

that humpback whale is telling you that you are infringing on his space. We has that happen in Alaska with one honery male that stayed in one spot in the bay and everytime the fleet would head out he'd jump like that the closer the fellt got to him until everyone diverted out of his territory.

[@frankzambrano8722]

James awesome video brother, so stoked for you !! Question regarding you Simrad system , what side of engine is your transducer located? I have Sea Fox center console with Simrad system also , I bought boat with it installed on left side of transom and my buddy that knows about this said it should be on right side ? Let me know brother million Likes always

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

Capt Frank. Thank you sir My airmar 175hw Transducer is located on right side. I had Dave from seaside electronics installed it. Man, i wish i knew more but i just don’t know enough to explain anything to you. lol. See you in our beautiful and majestic southern Pacific Ocean.
