Hello Anglers,
Today we had another very hot day with barely enough wind to get a kite up. We had another very productive day of wahoo fishing ending up with 55 skin for the day. Tuna on the other hand was really slow again with only 6 fish from 60 to 180 pounds being brought aboard whole and the heartbreaking last fish of the day for angler Vic Villa who fought his fish all the way to color before a pack of brown sharks ate one whole side of his tuna. When we brought the fish on board one side was completely untouched so we cut it for the galley. When we taped the fish out it measured out to 270 pounds which would have been Vic's personal best. We are trying again tomorrow so we will check in then.
Shawn and the crew
