Hello Anglers,

Hello again from the wheelhouse of the Excel. We had another fantastic day of big yellowfin fishing today with three fish from 200 to 225. Along with those we had 12 fish from 170 to 195 , and another 10 from 130 to 169 pounds. 25 Yellowfin for the day and 22 came from one good drift and at one point during the drift we had 15 fish over 150 pounds going at once.All of the passengers did a very good job with all the hectic action going on and our casualties were very little. Our last fish of the day was a 225 pound yellowfin for Johnnie(PAPPY)Roberson.The fish bit the sardines and mackerel equally as well and the 9\0 Eagle Claw 2005 circle hooks were the perfect hook for the size bait that we had. The pictures that I am sending are of a deckload of 150 to 200 pound yellowfin and the other is of Dana Trieschman and Allan Smith with a 200 pound yellowfin that ate both of there sardines on our first stop of the day.
