Royal Star

A full day of fishing enjoyment as we satisfied the "jerkin' and pullin'" component of this fall ten day in every respect. Productive angling on 12 - 25 pound yellowfin tuna, 15 - 25 pound yellowtail, and even a few still lost bluefin, was coupled with light winds and an ocean becalmed for an all around ideal day on the high seas. And without question it was thoroughly appreciated with yesterday's paltry results in fresh reference.

Veteran long range angler's Steve Fukuda and long time favorite Jan Abbot can't mask their jubilance as they pose with their twenty five pound bluefin. I couldn't either on the other side of the camera. In fact, other than one short, spirited, Captain Bligh episode, when every angler on deck was reacquainted with the depth of my passion and fishing commitment, I couldn't obscure my sense of well being the entire day. The glass was full; to the brim.

Still the fishing was slow; still conditions, in the form of twenty five knot winds and current running contrary, extracted most of fun from it, and still these anglers were resolute throwing their full effort into the challenge. There wasn't a single thing pretty in the whole episode; it was plain work to be out there. And while I am disappointed when these occasions arise...... Read More
