Yellowfin tuna. Yellowtail is a different fish.
My biggest fish is a 58# bull dorado in the sea of Cortes.

Id have to say a couple hundred pound skate, lol. This season it would be a 123 lb halibut and a 57 lb ling. In WA I would have to say a sturgeon, no idea on their weight.

My biggest fish was a mid 40s lb king I caught when I was 13 years old. Fought him for probably an hour and half.
Doesn't compare to my (guessing) 20 lb brand new summer run steelhead that I caught on a three and half foot bantam weight rod with 4 lb test. I have two witnesses and a picture somewhere to prove it! Fought it for maybe 2 minutes too!

54.4lb Chinook (Columbia)
(EST)65lb Sturgeon (Columbia)
19.3lb Steelhead (Cowlitz)
I have caught a lot of steelhead in the 18-19lb range but the 20lber still eludes me.
