Comments: Yay team, my first serious fish from the yak, or to put it another way, my second legal fish from a yak! Previous kingfish I've caught have been landbased, sure is easier when you're not pulling them towards the rocks. It pulled me around, but didn't fight too dirty. I had 10 minutes of great fun nonetheless. A big thankyou to Peril & simond for their photographic skills.

happy yakker

the fish

why do they call it a yellow tail?

Congratulations to all the winners this month, looks like the competition is getting bigger every time! I wonder if I'll be allowed out for all 7 days next month (I already know the answer to that one...). I second Hobie_Fisherman's motion that Davey G should be on the board with his fine bag of trevally & squid - perhaps there should be a viewer's choice. Nice bluenose bream in Modern Fishing Davey G!
