A seasoned fisherman, a 28-pound Yellowtail , and a reaction that says it all! 🎣🙌

This incredible catch came aboard the Helena during the AM half-day trip and we can’t get enough of how happy he is. Moments like this are what fishing is all about!

Clemente deckhand Josh is holding two of the best tasting and most underrated sport fish on the coast. These big bonito pull drag, peel line and will eat just about any jig or bait you put in the water.

When these fish are bled and iced their meat is mild, tender and WHITE when cooked. It is amazing on the table.

Whether you prepare it seared, sashimi style, chunked for poke or baked , this fish deserves a chance if you've never taken it home to enjoy.

Bring a few 60-80g sniper jigs on a good 20lb bait or spinning set up and catch a few to take home and enjoy!

Quality! There is something very cool and nostalgic about the 1/2 day fishing opportunities. When you're fishing off a classic boat like the Helena, flylining a healthy sardine and you get the chance to hook a yellowtail like this....it's pretty dang cool.

Not every fish we've been catching has the word "yellow" in it!

This very nice 30lb white seabass was taken today aboard the Clemente Sportfishing while fishing a live sardine.

It's been a fun week of fishing so far and we're eager to finish it strong!

Last nights twilight trip aboard the Sum Fun with Capt Chase had some shots at the bigger grade yellowtail.

Sardines! The hot ticket has been the flylined bait with a 2/0 hook and a light sinker to get the bait down from the surface and away from the birds!

Look at this familiar face! Retired Dana Pride captain Tom White just couldn't sit on the sidelines and had to come out and catch one of these yellowtail that have been creating all the buzz.

Tommy has caught thousands of these fish in his lifetime but can you believe this was his FIRST TIME EVER fishing aboard the Reel Fun!

Well done Tommy and of course Capt Spencer was pretty stoked to be a part of that !
