The guys returned and sounds like there were acres of fish to see but hooking one was a different story, but there was opportunity for a beautiful bluefin and some were lucky recipients.   Thanks to Pat at Calstar for her generosity and to sponsor Gary Teraoka!

Thank you and all of the American Angler team for a great trip.  When the fish do not cooperate and bite, the crew works even harder.  I feel sorry for Ray as he had to suffer the agony of putting the boat on huge schools of bluefin and none of them bite (over and over again).  The other attempts were met with the fish scattering as we snuck up on them (like street racers when they see the cops).  I started calling the blue fin “street racers”.
