A yellowtail is a pelagic fish from the amberjack family.

Danny, come on over and get some...hell, come get some yellowfin, too. I am eating it as fast as I can and I am pretty sure I will still have some left by the time this trip rolls around next year wink

We caught plenty of yellowfin, which while a bit tastier than albacore, don't fight as well as albacore, at least not the 25-30 pound variety. I know they get waaayyy bigger, but that's the size we were catching.

The yellowtail...one morning we pulled up to a kelp paddy about the size of my dining room table, and starting with the first cast and ending a few hours later we had multiple fish on the entire time, non-stop. They do like to get into that kelp, though, and anyone who didn't know how to fight a fish lost quite a few that way.

Fish on...
