Gary Niu caught the Jackpot fish. A nice Anacapa Island homeguard Yellowtail. This sucker weighed 32 pounds.

We started trolling early in the AM, and came across a kelp paddy that produced a few smaller-grade yellows. For small fish these guys pull pretty hard!

Bob hooked up on our first paddy too!

Zippy drove a long way to fish on this trip. He is from Santa Cruz where he is a regular on the Velocity. This was his first time fishing in San Diego, and his first yellowtail. It was good meeting you Zippy and I look forward to seeing you on future SFR charters!

Right before it was time to head home we came across a paddy that was holding LOTS of smaller-grade yellows. It was WIDE OPEN! Mike slayed 'em! He ended up with 12 fish.

Father and son with some yellowtail.

I'm glad you had a good time Zippy!

Scott lost a tuna earlier in the day, but made up for it in yellowtail! He did well on our last stop.

A happy Jose!

Gary got some yellows too!
