I waited 10 years to

[exfactor]

catch what many of you probably kinda take for granted. For whatever reason, the infamous yellowfin croaker has eluded me in all my pursuits
to the beach. That would change yesterday evening, as my buddy dave and I went hunting in very large waves for a 2 hour evening session. The final tally for our efforts combined was one bite, but man was it a bite!http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/IMG_9161.jpg.jpg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/IMG_9161.jpg.jpg.html)http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/IMG_9158.jpg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/IMG_9158.jpg.html)
The fish swam away after our short cpr event unharmed, and I now can state that I too, have caught a yfc.

Hi Mikey

Nice one for waiting 10 years that's for sure!!!! I must say I never would have guessed with all the feesh you've spanked over the years that Mr. YFC was one that played hookie with you. But I imagine he was kinda embarrassEd and felt it was time to get his act together for ya :P

Take care,

Nick

Wow Mikey... that's a Toad YFC for sure... :Razz:
I think the world record Yellow Fin Croaker is 3 lbs 14 oz. Yours looks about that... :Shocked:
Thanks for the call my friend, I'll try to make it up there soon... :Wink:
Merry Christmas to you and yours... :Big Grin:

Poseidon didn't want you to have just any run-of-the-mill YFC .... this one; he felt, was a worthy gift for your patience!

Congratulations on your NS! Nice fish!
