(19) 07/30/2015 - Wide open Yellowtail bite aboard the New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing. 

Johnny Bonsynat He was having a great time, no denying that.

Lmao

+Brian Chastain Yeah.. except for all those pesky copyright notices. Takes the fun out of it.

+Andrew Kloster do you know what field of veiw you filmed this at

The video was shot with an old model GoPro with a resolution of 1920X1080. I mounted the GoPro to a selfie stick and just walked around poking it in people's faces ;)

Jose Sanchez I don't think ANYONE on the boat was having as much fun as "LA" was. Good times! I didn't fish until the last 10 minutes of this trip - just decided to get some footage of other folks pulling on fish instead. It was fun :)

Jose Sanchez ahahahaha La hat guy had that sickness style upside down crank on point

+Vince Rangel Actually, I didn't fish, I just recorded. For many folks on this trip, it was their first Yellowtail bite (I bet you can tell which one's too), so I thought it would be cool to capture it for them to watch later.

"LA hat" is proof anyone can do it ;) Good times.

Nothing like some NOFX and Unwritten Law to get your day going.

+Evan Ellison Proof that anyone can do it, no excuses ;)

Thank you!!

+Kush strain He was having the most fun ;)

El Niño 2015 was some super fun times!

Actually, I don't know if he landed his fish.. I got distracted and ended up just recording whoever was closest. It was fun :)

When recording I always ask permission. I try to stay out of the way, but you'd be surprised how many people react negatively to being recorded. LA hat was proof of how good El Nino fishing was that year ;)

That was a Lexa 400.

Blueyeska951 I wouldn't start off with a 10' rod, work your way up to it. There is a definite learning curve. I'm currently swinging a Calstar GG 90J with a Daiwa Saltist STT40BGH reel. The combo was under $500.00 A Torium 20 would get it done too, at around the same price point. Newell - great reel, no doubt, and some guys swear by them. I'll pass. But that's just me (back off troll's). If you can, borrow and swing a few rods before you commit. You have to find what works for YOU, not what works for the other guy. Rods load differently, so you have to find the one you're comfortable with. As you know, on an open party boat, there is a premium on space, and lots of flesh to sink your treble's into.

Ya like Andrew said don't start off with a 10' it's more work and harder to learn on. Start with a 8' or 8'6" it's easier to cast and learn to chuck irons with then step up as u get better if u want. I currently throw on a seeker pinhead sd8 8' with either a penn 500(newell bushings, drag and gears) or penn squall 30. Both loaded with 50lb spectra topshots of 100+ yards of 40lb pline cxx. My mext rod will either be a Calstar 90j west coast or phenix psw 869xhj/909xhj I work boats at it's definitely tight on bows when irons are being thrown. Having an 8' until u get really good throwing will help not hook someone else.

There's so many good reels out there for around $200 that u can use. Ultimately it's wat feels good to you. I wud say use more of a conventional over lexa reel even tho that's a bad ass reel it'll work no doubt but picks up less line and if u do manage to hook something really big it might spool you. Look at daiwa saltist bg 35th or 40h, penn fathom 25n or 30, shimano torium 20hg. I ordered torium for my new jigstick lol it's the same as the Trinidad except for minor differences in left side plate.

MrJesus100 I agree with your choice of the Daiwa BG 40H - I've been using it for a year now, and the only complaint I have with it is the HARD plastic handle. I wish it could be swapped out for the foam handle of the Daiwa LD series, love those handles!!

Shout out to Seaforth landing... Can you say free parking

He hooked into a big Hammerhead. Not sure the shark knew it was hooked though.

Your screen name is 'awesomer' - "Harry Paratesties"

@@AndrewKloster LOL. Great vids, I subscribed

That is a Daiwa Sealine Model SL-X20SHA 6.1.1. at 7:02 in the video you can sorta see it on the front plate of the reel. I had to watch the raw footage from the GoPro to double check and be sure.

Haha! I bet Matt's seen worse though :)

D16hunter That Hammerhead was brutal!! Crazy year of fishing so far.

That same thing happened to me on a half-day all I could think of was " that's the biggest fish of my life why are you breaking it off"

@ what point in the video? I wasn't paying attention.

Ian Santos , yeah that was a fun El Niño day :)

Andrew Kloster hell yeah it was! Hopefully this summer I can catch my first yellow!

That was an epic day (year). Half-day boats produce all skill levels ;)

For many of these guys (customers) getting the fish on the boat is more important than a face-gaffed fish. The fisherman can always request the fish get gaffed in the head.

He was "stoked" ;)

Hardcore ;)

How about the guy fishing the rail for a 10 lb yellowtail what's that about?

+RIYakFishing It definitely has its moments :/
