This community has been fishing with us since 2002 when we inherited the trip from Dan Sansome. Mostly the same faces over the years but now with the trip being shorter there is great mix of the younger generation fishing with their elders.  For some of these first timers, they experienced world class Sportfishing- Nate Mendrin new to the game was hot stick and Andrei Kobzeffs second fish he's ever caught was a 120#.  The youngest in the game was Jack Valov who bested many on this trip with his 193#  bluefin.
On the other side of the coin, chartermaster and leader David Samarin caught his personal best @ 201# and we are sure that Sara is smiling down on him.  Brother Steve Samarin had a 170# and not to leave out  the elder of the trip, Paul Portnoff was on fire catching tuna and his big fish was a 180#

We are honored to be a part of this Russian communities tradition.  Thank you
