Hello Anglers,

Sorry we did not report yesterday but there was nothing to say. We caught one fish for the day, a 175 pound yellowfin. Today on the other hand was a much better day with a steady slow bite on 100 to 215 pound yellowfin. For the day we had four fish over 200 pounds and another four fish in the 190 to 195 pound range. Our average fish was 170 pounds today and almost all of them came on the sardines or mackerel.We had a few casualties as well today but with this size fish around it is bound to happen, there not big for no reason.We are going to try the same area again tomorrow and hope that we can put together another wonderful day on this trophy yellowfin tuna. Enjoy the pictures, Shawn and the crew
