Kayak Fishing for BIG Yellowtail |

In this episode of Field Trips: West Coast, I'm meeting up with Kevin Nakada from Hobie to go kayak fishing on a LEGENDARY SoCal fishery: La Jolla. Producing kayak fishing legends like Kevin and Jim Sammons, La Jolla earned its nickname "The Jewel" because of its beauty and knack for producing trophy fish just a short paddle from the beach. We'll be targeting one of the strongest fighting fish on the west coast: California yellowtail.
Watch until the end for a preview at episode 3!
Comment below and tell me more about fishing in SoCal or ask me any questions you guys have! I reply to every one.
Thanks to Fish Village and Hobie for their help during my time in San Diego!

[@garymyers472]

Fished La Jolla twice a week March through October 2003-2008. Huge 40-69 lb White sea bass come out of the deep canyons to spawn. Catch them on live green back mackerel. Before spooling with braid with a short tip shot half would run you through the kelp and cut you off. Caught a 50 lb beast Easter Sunday 2003. Went back a week later and watched a friend paddle in with a 42lb yellowtail he caught on an MC swim bait and Calcutta 400. Amazing fishery too for thresher sharks starting in late spring. When the squid move in to spawn mid winter you get a run of big home guard yellows and White Sea bass mixed in. Amazing fishery we almost lost to the environmentalists back in 2004

[@YakFishField]

White sea bass is definitely high on my list Gary. I'll definitely be back out there to chase them. Sounds like you've caught some impressive fish, can't imagine a 42 yellow!! And I'd LOVE a thresher. We go for them in episode 4 up in Malibu, but catch some other stuff instead. It is definitely an amazing fishery.

[@garymyers472]

Give us a heads up in early March. Short braid with # 30 or 40 short

[@jaredtomanek2384]

"Reel? He is pulling drag." "I know, you got to go." That is how you know you are dealing with a strong one. Great video! Water looked great too!

[@YakFishField]

+Jared Tomanek hahaha yep! Thanks Jared

[@michaelburk9173]

The La Jolla sleigh ride. Sweet.

[@YakFishField]

Yeeyee!

[@Thor_the_giant_schnauzer]

I'm active duty and was based on San Clemente Island off the coast. Caught a similar sized Yellow fin off the rocks on the island last year. Best 1 hour fight of my life!

[@YakFishField]

Heck yeah!

[@retnav92]

Another top notch installment. In regards to a previously asked question concerning the pfd type used, I recently bought a NRS Chinook for kayaking. Can't even tell I'm wearing it. Looking forward to the next video installment.

[@Ken-wv2wg]

Helluva fisherman AND this is the best quality video of So Cal fishing I've ever seen. Great work!!

[@YakFishField]

+Ken Roesner thanks Ken! Check out episode 3 where I'm back in La Jolla targeting sheephead

[@patrickconnors8403]

Another sweet adventure.

[@YakFishField]

+Patrick Connors those fish are nuts man!

[@bradelsner8324]

Awesome man! That gave me chills and a big smile to watch those YT's run. Thanks again brother

[@YakFishField]

+Brad Elsner those fish are nuts!! One of my favorite fights to date. Thanks for watching!

[@charliegarcia7437]

I thought for sure that Gaff was going to be in your leg the minute I saw the big wave behind you. That was a close one! Lucky Lucky man. Great video Rob keep them coming.👍👍

[@YakFishField]

+Charlie Garcia honestly after looking at the footage I don't understand how it DIDNT get me. But I'm glad it missed. Thanks Charlie

[@pffear]

Ya don't come between a Samurai and his sword, but I didn't know it covered phones too❓😜❓ Kevin's the man❗😎

[@YakFishField]

Yes he is!

[@chrischapoteau3263]

The stop of the music after the the hook pull was hilarious 😂

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha

[@VentureTube]

Stellar job again Robert! Top notch video quality as always. You should have waaay more subscribers! Better than just about everything out there. Cmon!

[@YakFishField]

+VentureTube thanks man I appreciate that. I'm not too worried about it. I'll just keep doing my thing and if people enjoy it, the subs will come

[@east_tex_will8264]

Lol! You almost got your nether regions gaffed, and your like "whoops, that was close." Another great video.

[@YakFishField]

+East_Tex_Will hahaha I didn't realize just how close it was until I got home and saw the footage. Yikes

[@seawolffishingadventures1284]

Very cool! SoCal has awesome fishing!

[@YakFishField]

+Sea Wolf Kayak Adventures it really does

[@FTW1374]

Another awesome installment! Rob this channel is absolutely the best. I have learned a ton about kayak fishing from your channel. The once a week release is killing me tho, I'd binge watch this whole series if I could!

[@YakFishField]

I appreciate it man. I used to post much less often than once a week, so I'm stoked about committing to do that. It's just like Game of Thrones bro, gotta wait! Hahaha

[@webbyonthewater8722]

Another amazing video. Keep up the great work. Those yellowtail are awesome.

[@YakFishField]

+LazyDog Fishin thanks man! Yeah those fish are nuts

[@Spartan117TCF]

Another great series of videos so far. Looks like a an epic yakking / fishing journey. Top notch quality. Cheers

[@YakFishField]

+Spartan117TCF thanks man!! 11 episodes to go! Every Tuesday at 6pm EST

[@SoCalOutdoors]

You lucky dog... it hs taken some guys dozens of trips to La Jolla before booking one of those. If you have any of it left nothing beats blacken yellowtail belly.

[@YakFishField]

+Kayak Fishing SoCal yeah man, this trip went so amazingly. Kevin is a hell of a guide. I had 14 fishing stops and I got the fish I was going for in 13 of them. I'm just getting started buddy, 11 episodes to go! I already finished this trip so the yellow is gone.

[@nickcharles7236]

Thanks you have fun fishing in California

[@YakFishField]

+Nick Charles thanks Nick!

[@lookin2kayakandbike664]

Nice video and catches! I'm loving this series dude, and really enjoy seeing your enjoyment of catching new species along the journey. Thanks for sharing. Tight lines and stowed gaffs... LOL! :-0

[@YakFishField]

+Lookin 2kayak thanks man! And yeah, big lesson learned in gaff management this trip, haha.

[@fiveforfishing2366]

Damn, these FIELD trips episodes are some of the best videos on youtube. Great job, Robert!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Ryan I appreciate that!

[@joeyguillen5847]

That Was Insane! Good video brother!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Joey!! Glad you liked it

[@adolfo206]

watching you reel in that tuna had me at the edge of my seat...great video Robert

[@YakFishField]

Haha glad you enjoyed it Adolfo! They aren't technically a tuna, but a lot of people confuse "yellowtail" with "yellowfin tuna." They're part of a different species. But they are similar in that they both fight VERY hard. Thanks for watching buddy!

[@dog9970]

Crazy runs lol. Wicked

[@YakFishField]

+Denver Deschenes too much fun dude!

[@manuelmelchizedek4309]

Your the Bruce Lee of kayaks. And pro fishing. Fun to watch .you and Jeremy Wade tackling sea giants .great videos. Be safe .

[@YakFishField]

Haha thanks Manuel

[@jacktrotta1309]

Here in Australia that is actually a Kingfish

[@chrisherl129]

JTrules 24 isn't a kingfish a giant trevally?

[@mattlawrence4765]

Nice! Have never battled a yellowtail, but got me a amberjack this past weekend in the Gulf off of Fl. They are are the donkeys of the sea!

[@YakFishField]

+matt lawrence yes sir, similar fish but different fight. AJs cling to the reef and try to break you off. Yellowtail are pelagic and free swim all over. Both very strong fights.

[@jacobsimantob4182]

By far the best fish to catch here. Great video!

[@YakFishField]

+Jacob Simantob it was definitely one of my favorites. Thanks Jacob!

[@daanschaasberg8231]

Every episode gets better then the other. Keep up the good work and fishing.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man, I appreciate that! I think they continue to get better as the season goes on. Thanks for watching!

[@daanschaasberg8231]

Robert Field 👍

[@KayakingKennedy]

Awesome video man, really loving the series so far. Truly inspirational! Keep it up brother!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man I appreciate that!

[@alcoholfree6381]

Absolutely great video!! Way to go with those awesome fish. You must be one ripped dude with all that distance covered and giant fish??!!

[@YakFishField]

Haha not as ripped as I’d like but I stay in decent shape

[@epsilonradius]

dude.... you got off the kayak lengthwise against the wave AND gaff in between the legs!!!!! hah wow, thanks for the vid!

[@YakFishField]

Super sketchy moment

[@noahmanmano]

The best yellowtail fishing is when your throwing the surface iron (which is basically a big piece of metal that swims on the surface) they can't stand the iron! The best feeling is when your reeling that jig as fast as you can and all of a sudden it just stops and starts to get heavy!

[@YakFishField]

+Noahm we did have surface irons tied on in case we saw some swimming up top but we didn't. Next time!

[@prestonjimenez6543]

Nice fish! Once again great video cant wit for th rest of them! This definitely got me pumped to LJ this weekend

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Preston! That is an incredible place man, good luck!

[@adamjussila785]

Robert, if you really enjoyed fishing yellowtail off the coast of Southern California, you should really try looking into Cedros Island. It's off the baja and probably the most unreal yellowtail fishing in the world. I grew up fishing the Pacific Coast and nothing compares to my experience at Cedros.

[@YakFishField]

+Adam Jussila I have a trip planned there wth Fish Village. Www.fishvillage.com

[@adamjussila785]

Can't wait to see some videos, then! The calico bass fishing is also legendary on the far end of the island if you're interested...

[@fishingwithejai6812]

Robert, your channel is awesome, you deserve more than 60k subs although I can't give them to you but love your content, keep it up.

[@YakFishField]

Thank you! I don't worry too much about the numbers. I'll just keep doing my thing and if people dig the content, the subs will come. Thanks for being one of em!

[@fishingwithejai6812]

Yeah of course, love your content!!

[@sstig13]

Dang man, glad that gaff didn't get you that was close. And Kevin diving for that phone....😮....Great video man!

[@YakFishField]

+Brandon Kyle Mckibben yeah dude way too close for comfort. Thanks!

[@tristan38T]

This looks really great, been thinking about getting a kayak and this looks really enticing! Yellowtail have been on my bucketlist forever, but I don't get down to So Cal often. Keep up the good stuff

[@YakFishField]

+Tristan Chhay thanks Tristan! This series will follow me as I head north to Seattle, so if you live anywhere on the west coast I may give ya some ideas on what else you could use the kayak to chase.

[@depressiondemonstrator6804]

Close call there with that gaff!

[@YakFishField]

Way too close for comfort. Haha

[@komododragon4295]

dude! I was born and raised in cali and you passed awesome fishing in san clemente just south of dana point actually next town south of dana point. fish about 100 yards out from the end of the pier there is a nice rock reef with lots of sheephead and calico bass sand bass run very large, also the halibut are larger here than dana point. before storms removed the end half of the pier you could hit this reef easily, they doubtfully will never build the pier out to its original length sad for die hard pier fisherman. Then there is the san onofre nuke plant just before oceanside, a great place for huge halibut due to the warm water from the plant. san clemente also has a state beach with a totally awesome state campground. the only thing I miss about cali is the ocean fishing in southern cali. also san clem is only 70 miles from the baha border undeniably the best fishing I have ever experienced on both sides of the peninsula all the way down to la paz! baha would definitly be for a series all of its own! Fish on! and keep up with your great videos!!!

[@YakFishField]

Yeah man, did 6500 miles in 33 days, couldn’t fish every awesome spot. My mom lives in Irvine so I’m out there a few times a year. I’ll do San Clemente. You should watch my series from mothershipping to San Clemente Island. I know it’s a different San Clemente, but it was dope.

[@editingreality4779]

You've got balls, I know what's in those waters, I lived there while serving in Navy, would go to the cove and the seal lions would be 20 feet away from me on their side of the beach. There also used to be a leopard shark that hung out right in the cove and would come right up to you in the water while diving, within touching distance, not ta mention the rocks. You're out in the water further away but near the shore alot of rough necking going on with sharks and people. I knew a girl who was killed probably from a great white they found her surfboard in pieces, it wasn't a great way to die. Still went out though. Love that area, great video, omg there some good eating in those waters.✌❤☀

[@YakFishField]

I don’t worry about sharks too much. I’m terrified of bees and they kill way more people annually, as do coconuts.

[@captainparker3472]

Dope production, great filming, super entertaining. Stoked for the sheep's head!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Cap'n, I appreciate that!

[@Ken-wv2wg]

Great video. Your guide put you on the fish but all your skills got the hook up and landed those fish. It takes some people MANY years. You're a pro!! Did you see any Great Whites??

[@YakFishField]

+Ken Roesner thanks man! No great white sightings this day but my mom and I had a 9 footer cruise by us in Dana Point right by the swim buoy.

[@AAFactor]

Excellent videos man! Love from New Zealand bro!

[@kevinmeldrum1]

Love my backyard. Great video. Such a fun fishery.

[@YakFishField]

It really is man, you're lucky to call that home!

[@brandonkirk103]

Those fish look like so much fun to catch

[@YakFishField]

+BlueWater FishHunter they are a BLAST

[@GuardianGrove]

It's nice to see such good quality video is possible on the kayak. I'll be adding kayak fishing to my channel this year and my concerns were camera positioning and wind noise. Looks like you have it under control. Awesome video.

[@codydavis3634]

Great videos keep putting them up

[@YakFishField]

+Cody Davis thanks Cody! Fishing episodes every Tuesday VLOGs every Thursday

[@crobassin6942]

Just noticed the spiral wrapped rod, niceeee

[@YakFishField]

Big fan of acid wrap for heavier gear

[@crobassin6942]

Robert Field so how do you feel about it for bass fishing, is there a place for it?

[@kareemabdul9374]

I was there in July and the biggest mackerel I caught was 10 inches. Caught my first yellow there and it was great. Surprised to see lizardfish that far south.

[@YakFishField]

Millions of em haha, Kevin said it was weird too

[@namtruong8602]

yeeew! congrats on your first yellowtail!

[@YakFishField]

SUCH a rad fish!

[@xtasyboi]

Nice job. Missed you two by a few days. Will be out there Friday thru Sunday.

[@YakFishField]

+xtasyboi nice man you'll have a blast!

[@lojofishing]

Looks amazing out there

[@YakFishField]

+lojo.fishing it was!

[@lancelewandowski2667]

Great video man, gotta add that species to the bucket list

[@YakFishField]

+Lance Lewandowski you definitely should, one of my most fun catches to date

[@CptGingerbeardKayakFishing]

Awesome video dude. Here by me we love our yellowtail! Funny enough the bonito too (Atlantic/Green Bonito) its awesome smoked. Nice stuff mate

[@YakFishField]

+Devin Bakkies Muir thanks Devin! I actually eat bonito raw on the water in episode 4...

[@CptGingerbeardKayakFishing]

Hahaha yeah man actually ate some at home two nights ago! Jees almost ate the whole thing, was very nice!! Think next time I catch one Im just going to eat it with lure still in its mouth!! hahahaha Solid videos amigo! Keep strong

[@Jacob-lw8km]

Awesome episode man! Great work, keep em coming!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for watching them all bro!

[@scottgrzymkowski]

WOW! That was epic!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man, glad you liked it!

[@abdullahahmad1480]

all the respect from kuwait !

[@YakFishField]

+Abdullah Boftain thank you Abdullah!

[@MrNewiin]

Sick! right in SD's backyard!

[@YakFishField]

Yes sir! Incredible fishery out there. Thanks Timmy!

[@OutdoorsWalking]

Yakfish is where it's at. These vids are amazing

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Mike!

[@MPromnitz]

Kevin, you should have put that bonito on for livebait, you never know when a yellow tail tuna might bite. Also, don't forget to wear your sunscreen, the sun is so harsh out on the ocean.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha thanks for the tips buddy. Them yellow tail tuna are thick right now I hear.

[@MPromnitz]

:) Keep up the great work Robert, love following along on your journeys!

[@PESCASARGOS]

Really enjoy the video Great action Well done robert

[@YakFishField]

+yossi ben simhon fishing show glad you enjoyed it man! Super fun fish to target.

[@jimreimer6140]

Good Job!!( and clean language too) Love it!

[@YakFishField]

+Jim Reimer I do my best to keep my channel family-friendly

[@philipstempien8256]

Amazing videos as always Robert keep it up

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for sticking around and watching more of them Philip!

[@anthonyyang7286]

Sick video the dorado and yellow tail have been running of the coast of SoCal

[@YakFishField]

+Anthony Yang yeah Kevin got a dorado the other day! They're in close!

[@YakinwithJack]

Nice fish buddy. It definitely looks like a brightly colored amber jack

[@YakFishField]

+Yakin with Jack yep. Closely related. But they're pelagic and swim around, whereas amberjacks cling to structure usually. They're both BRUISERS though.

[@YakinwithJack]

Robert Field no doubt i had a couple of reef donkeys on the end my line. They are the linebackers of the sea imo

[@johnbuday7251]

If that was Saturday I was out there a little closer to the kelp beds and heard you hootin and hollering! Btw, that wasn't a big wave! Lol Super close call for the boys! Lmao

[@YakFishField]

It was a tiny wave, I just need to work on where I store my gaff, haha. I was terrified.

[@YakFishField]

Honestly, looking at the footage, I don't understand how it DIDN'T get the boys. Like, all my knowledge of physics said I should've been headed to the hospital. Somehow it missed me.

[@hihoian]

Man I’m super jealous! I’m yet to catch a yellow! Looks like a hell of a time

[@YakFishField]

Tooooo much fun

[@AmberWaves444]

Good looking sandwich! 😁😎😁

[@YakFishField]

Ohhhhhh yeahh it was

[@TRattana03]

Awesome video.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks!

[@robertmitchell6651]

Yo! You are one lucky dude with that "gaffe"

[@YakFishField]

+Robert Mitchell yeah dude, way too close for comfort

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Great job. Hope you didn't have to get stitches from that gaff.

[@YakFishField]

It missed me somehow! I have no idea how after watching the footage. Good lesson in gaff management!

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Yea, I'm not going to throw stones from my glass house. I probably would have had it in the same place until a close call like yours.

[@bandedcalls]

Robert Field almost got the jewels

[@DwayneMcguire]

Lol fun way to get tired man 👍🎣

[@stevehernandez3416]

Excellent Video, I wish they would come more often. I was wondering if you were fishing the North West corner? Did you fish the kelp forest? I can't wait to see that Sheephead!

[@YakFishField]

+Steve Hernandez I'm posting 2 videos a week man, that's a LOT of editing. Can't do any more often than that. We were way out, probably over 2 miles. And yep we were fishing near kelp. The sheephead episode is a trip man. Hope you like it!

[@nooryounossi]

great vid! just discovered your channel. yellowtail fishing looks awesome!

[@YakFishField]

+Noor Younossi thanks man! It definitely is, those fish are nuts.

[@ryanmonagle5584]

Great vid

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man!

[@alecstollfuss211]

great job man! wish I knew you were in town or I'd have been out there with you guys. how long are you in SD?

[@YakFishField]

+Alec Stollfuss im already gone brother, but I'll be back out there before long

[@reelmm3311]

Awesome vid 👌

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man I appreciate that!

[@scottehrlich6653]

Kevin is a cool Dude with mad sandwich skills. I didn't know you could drive on the sand anywhere around there. Kevin hooked you up. Over

[@YakFishField]

+Scott Ehrlich I think just right there. The road turns into the sand with no curb or anything. Just for loading/unloading. Kevin's a great dude

[@jrs6122]

Another good video👍Ur so good

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Mango!

[@jrs6122]

Robert Field have u every went bass fishingn

[@tylerlowe6638]

Amazing video, and in my backyard.. Why did Kevin have you keep the reel in freespool with your thumb on it while trolling versus using the clicker ? About what speed were you trolling ? Were you flying lining or using weight, what size/style hook ? Bait can be easy or rough in la jolla.. Why I try and be in the water before 5am.. Hell of a day tho. Thanks for the upload and visit !

[@YakFishField]

+Tyler Lowe it's an incredible fishery man. He likes to let the fish run with zero pressure at first, just his style and it worked pretty well. Probably about 2-3 knots. No weight, 3/0 hook on a solid ring to let the baitfish move more freely.

[@grunter1389]

That's one unique looking custom rod there Robert . Spiral guides ! Who makes the blank ?

[@YakFishField]

+Grunter not sure man. It was gifted to me by a former colleague. Spiral (aka acid) wrapped guides aren't that uncommon though. I'll never go back to regular guides on conventional. Google it and you can find info on the benefits

[@hauntedl3mon504]

Feel awesome im just wacthing......

[@YakFishField]

+Joseph Joonsong thanks for watching Joseph!

[@pollyp4730]

Loved it mate. Thank you. Anychance you can give us a rundown of your favorite gear? Jigs, lures, bait etc...

[@YakFishField]

Doing one on jigs and lures is tough because I literally fish for different species all over the country (and beyond) constantly. I'm never using the same stuff two trips in a row. BUT I can definitely do a better job of giving the rundown of my tackle in each episode. I'll work on that. Thanks for the feedback Polly!

[@pollyp4730]

Robert Field fair enough mate. I know what you mean. Thanks for the reply and for the effort you put in for you audience.

[@YakFishField]

My pleasure Polly, thanks for watching and commenting. It means a lot.

[@scottehrlich6653]

No tennis ball on gaff? Glad it missed you. Great video as always. Heading over to fish brain bc I have no newbie idea what they are. If you like'm I want to check it out. Thank you RF! Over

[@YakFishField]

Yeah dude, big lesson in gaff management, especially when coming in the surf haha. Looking back at the footage, I don't understand how it DIDN'T get me. Too close for comfort! The Fishbrain app is KILLER for finding fish nearby and connecting with other anglers, and it's free. Follow me on there and comment your username on one of my photos and I'll follow you back - @yakfishfield

[@Annaboo2001]

Nice vid keep up the good work

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Julie I appreciate that!

[@ericwang0921]

Bait tank on that tiny kayak??? That's wild.

[@YakFishField]

+Awsum Guy lots of people use em. Hobie makes that one

[@saltnfreshwaternz1974]

Nice video. We have those yellowtails here in new zealand too.

[@YakFishField]

+Salt n Freshwater NZ yep, but you call them yellowtail kingfish. I believe they're actually SLIGHTLY different genetically, but look almost identical. Yours get bigger I believe

[@dillanrobeson7742]

cali definitely gets u pumped

[@YakFishField]

It's an awesome fishery!

[@dillanrobeson7742]

Robert Field definitely i have caught 2 yellowtail and a lot of rock fish, lingcod, and sheepshead they make great tacos

[@YakFishField]

I go for all of those other species in upcoming episodes, and cook a few of them up in VLOG episodes. Stay tuned!

[@DwayneMcguire]

Lol haha 😄 crazy good stuff Rob 👍🎣

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Dwayne! Those fish pull SO hard.

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- Awesome video!!! 💖🤗😇😘👍🏽🍻💯💯

[@AADVENT]

2 hours pedaling? You make it sound like its only 2 hours. Thats a day fishing trip for me. Lol.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha not too bad really. I love being out on the ocean, so it's fun. We were watching sea lions and saw that mola mola, you just never know what you'll see. Usually if I have to pedal that far I'll troll bait on my way out, but we didn't have enough bait to waste any.

[@125mph]

Why 2 hours? Were you guys heading north or south?

[@CatchingtheCraze]

Cool video but holy shit! Using 4lbs of drag or something? Those fish pulled more drag than my #35 - 45 Yellowtails. Looking forward to your next video!

[@YakFishField]

+Ryan Petty I like to err on the side of looser drag when fighting a fish I've never caught. Much more forgiving when you have no idea what to expect. But it was probably around 6-8lbs. It was towing my kayak so tight enough to move 300 lbs of boat gear and human

[@jasonsmolicz7483]

Robert field, Great job. I would love to see some videos on Goliath grouper.

[@YakFishField]

+Jason Smolicz thanks Jason. Only a couple people on the planet have landed a Goliath from the kayak. Luckily I'm friends with one of em. I'll hit up Ben Chancy and see what he's up to

[@fatbackfishing9789]

These are the kind of videos you would see on tv man

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the kind words man, I appreciate it

[@kobybrookes810]

"Yellow tailed king fish in thumb nail" *instant like

[@YakFishField]

Not sure what you're saying? In Australia and New Zealand they call a very similar fish kingfish. This is a California yellowtail. Just like what you guys call Spanish mackerel, we call King mackerel in Florida, almost identical species. Our Spanish mackerel are a different fish altogether. Different fisheries, different names for very similar (but NOT genetically identical) species.

[@kobybrookes810]

I was saying I know that's it is going to be a really good video because i have catch king fish before in Australia and they are good fish to catch and eat

[@Ipera78]

Man… That looks like a very strong fish…, I hate when people tell's you " reel, reel" and the fish is pulling line..Lol..

[@mariahector8394]

SOOOO Sick!!! :D

[@YakFishField]

Look at you! You watch my vids! Thanks Maria, that means a lot. We need to talk about a California tournament... that fishery is DYING for a legitimate option, the species are way different but at the same time similar, and I know some people I could connect Joe with to start figuring it out. In fact, I had someone that would be a great liaison actually ask about it. Let's talk!!

Couldnt stop laughing at ya buddy jumping in and actually getting his phone back...Classic move. Would u compare fighting a yellow tail to a cobia/Jack that we have here in the Gulf? My buddies talk high and mighty of the yellow tails.

+Dimebag's Addictions ummmm strength wise yeah maybe, but the yellowtail is faster than both when it wants to be. Pound for pound they're definitely stronger than jacks. I've lost 3 cobia near the boat but never landed one, those fish are too crafty and smart when you hook em near a rig.

Keep up the great work. Try catching a marlin from a kayak.

Oh I’ve tried. That’s the holy grail of kayak fishing!
