Hello Anglers
Today we spent all day looking for that big Yellowfin that we saw yesterday. It was not until 1130 we started to see the fish around. There was good sign of fish in several spots and I don't think I saw a fish under 150 pounds. We stopped on two spots of fish during the short period of time they were up and we landed 6 fish out of 11 hook ups. On the first stop we hooked 5 fish, Rick Ozaki got a 175 pound Yellowfin on a skipjack, Louis Marzari got a 175 pound tuna on a sardine and 100 pound, and Gerald Stires got a 190 pound Yellowfin on a skipjack and 100 pound line. Tom Howe hooked a big one on a sardine and 100 pound line and we put him in the skiff so we could get on another spot of fish. While we were in our second stop the skiff returned with a 277 pound Yellowfin.
On our second stop we had 4 fish going at once but only got two of them, a 175 pound Yellowfin for Mike Blumenfeld and a 190 pound Yellowfin for Louis Marzari. We did hook one more big fish that we were on for a hour and a half but we lost it at deep color. My estimate was 220 pounds but the fish chewed through the line.
During both stops we released 5 Sailfish, 1 Thresher Shark and 1 Marlin. Tomorrow we are going to look for these big Yellowfin again. Wish us luck!
