A supercow was caught, and rookie angler Alec Robie got two tuna that were close to that elevated status in the last couple of days down south. Robie told Bill Roecker on the day of his departure that he needed to borrow some heavy gear, because he hoped to catch his first cow. Since it was an Accurate trip, with some 50 rod and reel combos aboard for loan, young Alex may be in hog heaven. "Lots of sharks again," reported Red Rooster III skipper Andy Cates June 7. "We caught 11 tuna. The biggest fish was caught by Bill Walsh; a 220-pounder. I hope we can end with a bang tomorrow."

On June 6 he said, "We had a few chances at big fish today. This place is really tough to fish. The sharks are really bad. We did manage 18 tuna, and the biggest fish went to Jessie Baker, a 220-pounder. Bill Walsh got a 267, Bob Cherry a 265, Alec Robbie a 286 and Bob Goka caught a 289. It sure seems like it was a lucky day with what we caught through the sharks. I hope it cleans up and then we will have some great fishing."

Cates also reported on June 5: "Only two fish today worth talking about, as there was a heavy showing from the sharks today. We hooked five nice fish and landed two. Alec Robbie took a 291 and Laurens Rhinelder caught a 306-pounder. They were trophies for sure, just not much to go with them. In the event we hook more tomorrow, who will be the lucky anglers?"
