"Good evening from the vessel Independence," said the report from Independence January 11. "Things are going just fine for us out here on the high seas. We again had a good day today, pretty much like yesterday, 40 tuna, half of them 125 lbs. to 225 lbs. most 150 to 190 lbs. and the rest 70 to 90 lbs. everything is working on them. Allen Smith caught a fish right at 200 lbs. and Conway Woo had one at 215 lbs. and I can't remember who the other lucky guy was. The weather is good as well, and we are going to try again tomorrow."
