On Mon. January 2, Intrepid skipper Kevin Osborne posted: "This morning, like the others, started nice and early with a fish eating a squid under the kite before daylight. This one though, was bigger. Ed Otero was the first one up this morning and was in the right place at the right time with the right gear. After 45 minutes his fish came over the rail and a big one it was. Ed's fish taped out at 310 pounds and was accompanied by six other fish this morning, two of which topped the 200-pound mark and one at 140. We also picked up a half dozen Wahoo before calling it quits and heading for home. The Tuna fishing that we have experienced over the last four days is still the hot topic on the upper deck, where cigars are being smoked and hand shakes are abundant."
