As most of us all know, this has been one of the toughest years for salmon fishing in recent memory along the Bay Area coastline. The retired gentlemen that make up the Fishing Fools gang needed to feel the tug of a fighter on their lines for the last scheduled trip this year. The weather looked favorable, so Bob called them Sunday and said let's go hunt for some albacore instead of going "salmon wishing". The best part of the trip is that everyone got to fight a fish. Some of the gang won their battles and some of the fish won others, but that's fishing. They ended up with enough albacore for each of them to go home with three nice loins off of the four tuna that were landed, plus they played with and lost another four, and they threw in a bonus of four skipjack.
