Well fellas, you are all in luck, since I forgot to take my TAT shirt along with me. Fortunately I had it in my car so I had my cousin and sister in law snap a couple of shots before I started cutting fish. Total fish caught by me on this trip was 22 Yellowtail, 6 Yellow Fin (3 between 60 and 80 lbs) 2 Dorado and a handful of rockfish. The boat totals I have listed on the full fishing report so please see that forum for the low down on the trip.



Please note that although this is a smaller Dodo I had to rent a UHaul Trailer to take my fish home in. You can just make out a fat YFT hanging out in the back.



This YF is bigger than Luca!!



I couldn't resist putting this photo in. The biggest YT I have ever seen let alone caught. Sean Bickel from the Royal Star said it had to have been 60 lbs before it got seal bit on the way in!!

Here is the only pic I have from my fish pile on the dock. Bill Roecker snapped a couple photos of me and interviewed me for his publication. 



This makes a grand total of 2 YFT, 1 YT and 1 Dodo that I can legally score with. 275 points for this round but at least I get a Dorado flag!!
Fish on!!!!

Holy shit Botch!, a U-Haul trailer? You gotta be kidding me!  Looks like fish tacos, fish steaks, fish soup, fish burgers, and sushi for you for the next month or so! Nice Job!!
