The report from Independence December 7 included a recounting: "We arrived at the grounds, and right away we got busy, and down to business. Every day was action packed, as things would get going before daybreak, and end into the night. The first three days were the real stand outs, as we were filling up fast, and then the last four days were more civil, 30 to 40 fish a day. There were shots at big ones every day, and we made the most of every chance, with possibly 14 cows up to maybe 277 pounds. The rest of the fish is a beautiful grade, 125 to 195 pounds, with a few bigger, and a few smaller. All methods worked, as there was something for everyone, chunk, sardine, "man bait," (skipjack), jigs, you name it; at the right time it worked.

"We are headed up the line now, most recovering from the battles with these brutes, and some anglers are watching movies, some comparing stories from the trip. The crew and myself are resting, preparing for another voyage when we unload this catch on Saturday."
