Miss Yellowtail, circa 1950s - A San Diego Classic!
Back when the International Yellowtail Derby was the biggest event on the West Coast, the competition wasn’t just about who landed the biggest fish it was about making a splash! This iconic shot captures the golden era of sportfishing, where big smiles, bamboo rods, and a little bit of Hollywood glamour made every derby one for the history books.
The crew looks locked in, but this is probably the best catch they made all day!
