Royal Star returned to Fisherman's Landing November 21 after an eleven-day trip that saw Guadalupe Island and Mag Bay tuna fishing. The boat's 17 anglers returned with 21 tuna over 200-pounds, including a 310-pound super cow.
"This is reminiscent of two years ago," said Owner-Skipper Randy Toussaint. "The water is perfect, and it's only going to get better this next month. Tim (his partner skipper Tim Ekstrom) will be going back out Friday."
Steve Ong of Sacramento landed three milestone trophies on the trip; a 100-pound, 200-pound and 300-pound fish. His biggest previous fish before this trip was 60-pounds.
"This was my first long range trip in 17 years," said Ong. "My last one was way back in 1980 on the Excel with Randy Toussaint. His expertise of fishing big fish is unprecedented, and second skipper Brian Simms assisted with my fight. He taught me patience."
Ong fished a 2004 9/0 Eagle Claw hook, 130-pound Izor with 135-pound Jerry Brown Spectra backing, a Penn 50 SW reel and a 760 H Custom Rod by Yo's. "He fought straight out," continued Ong, pointing to the horizon. "I stayed mostly on the starboard side, for about two hours."
