I fished yellowtail on poppers from the shore in Chuja Islands, Korea with my daughter from Aug 28 to Sept 1.
We had a blast. We caught many and lost many.
The biggest yellowtail of 150 cm (59") was caught by my friend, Terry Cho who used prototype 9' Black Hole Striped Bass Special 3/4 oz - 4 oz surf rod.
My daughter never fished from the surf before and she practiced only one hour before the trip. At the end of the trip, she could cast as far as I do and caught many.
What a blast.

Great to see another place in the world where those fish can be caught from shore!
We seldom get ones that big.

150cm is a monstrous Yellowtail, especially from the rocks. Would have been approaching 100lb if it was in good condition.

This place took my imagination the minute I saw the first video.   Even looked up where precisely it is and how to get there.
Great video, there is nothing like fishing for those things from shore.    They test the body and the tackle.
