When you spend enough time out here the odds inevitably come around in your favor and a trip like this is bound to happen. Other than capitalizing well on the opportunities we have had I can't really say that the unbelievable catch we have on board is the result of exceptional skill or fishing savvy but rather perfect timing. Whatever the case we will take it because trips like this are few and far between and believe me we are appreciating this exceptionally good fortune for all it is worth.

The good fishing continued today and in fact got better in that the majority of our afternoon yellowfin were in the sixty to eighty pound class where the past few days featured only about thirty percent of our catch in this size range. Best of all was the fact that it was all top water fishing with the majority of our bites coming on the kite in many cases mere yards from the boat as the voracious tuna plowed the baits in spectacular form. Every bite was accompanied by hoots and hollers from the entranced onlookers many of whom sacrificed their fishing effort simply because the show was too good to miss. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the incredible night time yellowtail action on thirty to forty five pound beasts. As the saying goes "when you hot your hot". Now we move north to take the true test of our good luck tomorrow heading offshore in search of trophy bluefin in an attempt to seal the deal on what I consider as fine a summer six day long range voyage as an angler (or captain) could ever hope for.
