Rick Maxa, fishing off North Mission Bch for Halibut and White Seabass on Monday afternoon saw birds working. He threw a jig out and landed his largest local yellowtail, which was hooked on a Salas 7x light. Rick brought the fish into Seaforth Sportfishing where it was weighed in by RC Newton at 45# 10 oz. This is 20 pounds over the previous 2015 Derby YT, it is also 6 pounds larger than the 39 # 6 oz YT caught by Tom Kues in 2011 Yellowtail Derby.

There is 25 more days to Fish.

We have a new Sponsor for the Leader Board, Rick Jensen of Sportfishing Financial Group. Check him out on the Sponsor Page, which has a link to his website.
