Captain Bernabe, known as "Lobito" (little wolf), told us that the fish weighed 684 pounds but we noticed that the bill was resting on the ground; the scale frame simply wasn't big enough, but then again the fish was thirteen and a half feet long - so our guess is that it actually weighed more, easily over 700 pounds!

He explained that he had been fishing at Golden Gate on the Pacific when at 10:15 am he spotted the massive fish eating a dorado on the surface. He acted fast pulling out a big dorado-colored lure and attached it to his 80-pound. test rig, raced over to the fish and dropped the lure in front of it, which it pounced upon. They got a solid hook-up and the battle was on for the four men on board. The fish was extremely strong, so strong in fact that it took them 9 hours and 40 minutes to subdue.

Mucho Loco, with two men aged 74 and 79, hooked a huge blue marlin around five miles out from the Old Lighthouse, on a 5.5 Zuker, red & yellow artificial, (locally called a tigrillo lure). The old timers, obviously in great physical shape, brought the 773-pound blue marlin to the boat in five hours.

The overall fishing, especially for the billfish, had slowed a little this past week to about one for every third boat, but still, good action on dorado and other smaller game fish including a few wahoo, yellowfin tuna, skipjack and sierra.
