Shame about the Irish whiskey. That fish deserves a good scotch. Smile

Im curious what you were using for gear when you caught it? How cool!

That is a happy grin on your face! For good reason Smile


Paul,

Here's the gear we were using -

-pretty standard clones. The ones that seemed to work the best were the P-line, jet head clones.

Nice fish. Is there a chance that warmer water currents are bringing these fish North?


We get warm currents each year off our coast. You just need to get off the continental shelf to find the warm water. Some years it's a bit warmer than others but I don't think this year is particularly unusual. We were in about 65F water when we caught this one. I think I just got lucky.

Nice fish!

Educate me; why so rare? Too cold up here?

Looks to be some sort of jack similiar to what I know as a "Kahala" or amberjack. I know fish have various names for the same species dependent on location (dolphin-fish is also a dorado is also a mahi-mahi etc). Trying to think if we (Hawai'i) have a yellow tailed jack. If so, I've never seen one. Confused

Yep - it's basically a warmer water fish that is common farther south on the U.S. coast.

Yes - yellowtail amberjack - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowtail_amberjack - this would be the "california" subtype.
