A 45+ pound homeguard yellowtail is a fish of a lifetime from a boat... but from a PIER? Absolutely legendary. 🤯

For our latest WON cover story, Brandon Dawson walks us through the 45-minute battle to land this absolute monster off San Diego’s Crystal Pier. From the screaming first run to a sketchy 42-foot pier gaff job, this is a story you have to read to believe.

And for the social media doubters? The video proof is real. 😉
