Before turning over the helm to Captain Toussaint, I am compelled to comment on this current run of trophy yellowfin tuna that will very likely go down in history as the finest opportunity ever to catch a two hundred pound class yellowfin on a fall ten day long range voyage. Of course that is what we said the last time we saw incredible fall offshore fishing for giant yellowfin ( a mere three years prior), but this time the percentage of two hundred pound class fish in the area is significantly higher. The fishing we experienced last week that has continued for every vessel that has since visited that area is literally the material of fantasy - perfect, clean offshore fishing for straight trophy yellowfin; no junk fish, no sharks, no small fish. In short it is the most perfect sport fishing set up for trophy size yellowfin we could ever hope for; the kind of fishing we spend years on the ocean without seeing hoping and waiting for the day when we encounter this exact opportunity. It is that good right now. In fact it really does, and can not, get any better.

Again I have to urge all anglers on upcoming ten day voyages to prepare accordingly as what we see could certainly last a good while providing the weather and conditions treat us kindly. Bring your harnesses and big gear and if you don't have the equipment to fish for giant yellowfin make arrangements with the office to provide some. This present fishing is a genuine opportunity if a lifetime that we hope everyone on upcoming voyages can take advantage of.
