Linda Palm-Halpain, owner of the Red Rooster III, told Bill Roecker she'd heard Monday afternoon from skipper Andy Cates, who is fishing off Clarion Island. Andy said his anglers have limits of wahoo, and are in a big tuna bite that has already produced ten fish over 200 pounds. One is over 300 pounds.

The Rooster is on her annual "June Heat" trip, and WON saltwater editor Brandon Hayward is aboard. If the big tuna makes the 300-pound mark on the certified scales at H&M Landing when the boat returns, it will be the 50th giant yellowfin of the season, unprecedented in the last couple of decades.

Red Rooster III will dock at H&M next Sunday morning, June14, after the last trip of the 2008-09 big tuna season for the San Diego long range fleet.
