When we left the point yesterday we were licking our chops because the handful of guys we had on the tuna grounds were all engaged in steady bluefin tuna fishing. We arrived on the grounds shortly after daylight with high hopes but after 8 hours with just a handful of fish aboard we realized that the fish did the old "bluefin" disappearing act that many of us know all to well.

We all as a fleet spread out in different directions to hopefully find out where they went and it so happened that it took the most experienced captain in our fleet to get on them and put the word out. Frank on the Royal; (who taught me many lessons over the ten years I had the pleasure of working for him) showed everyone once again how intuition and experience pays off, was the first to find the zone and gave us a call so we could all get a piece of the action. The afternoon was wide open crazy as we enjoyed limit style bluefin fishing on 25-65lb fish.

To end the day we saw a spot of big ones as once again experience payed off as veteran angler Allen Tokunaga used the right gear and landed the days largest fish that weighed a respectable 131 lbs.

Everyone Is Stoked, The Guys
