This season has offered anglers the best chance ever to hook a 300-pound yellowfin tuna, and fishermen are taking advantage of the opportunity. Today's report from the American Angler is one more demonstration of the number and availability of supercows.

"We have been told before that sometimes our do-good stories on our reports can be a little much," said the report from January 27.

"Charlie Iwashita hooked a fish when bites were really hard to come by. He landed a 210-pound fish which has topped off an already incredible trip for him. He took a break and a few baits later hooked another one and handed it off to Bobby Gene Gott. Bobby is an accomplished fisherman but due to bad knees and choppy weather he has been staying off his feet quite a bit. He got back on them right away when the fish spooled him and the backup rig was deployed. After a long epic battle, he boated an incredible 311-pound fish. Charlie, who not only has the upmost respect for his elders but has the compassion to go out of his way to help those in need, has compiled an enormous amount of brownie points.

"The overall day was frustrating as we had fish all around us throughout the day, but had trouble hooking them and we watched some of our other boats hook steady fish. We ended up with 7 good grade fish and the opportunity to hook a fish of a lifetime was realistic all day."
