And so it continues. All those hours of meticulous rigging paid big dividends as this was another epic day of fishing for giant yellowfin on the offshore grounds. Seven over two hundred was our total on big cows with another seventeen in the 160 - 196# class. Amazingly, the vast majority of our catch was made during our final stop of the day between the hours of four and seven p.m. when the smoke cleared and the last fish was put aboard. I know I have been exhausting the dictionary of adjectives when describing the experience of this run of big fish, but even my best efforts can not do the present and past two weeks action justice. Suffice to say that I, and I believe all of my colleagues out here, have been waiting our whole lives for this fishing. It is that good. At the end of a day such as this, we are beat; our hands shredded, our backs and muscles sore, our minds numbed from the exhausting effort of managing a rail with five to fifteen anglers simultaneously being dragged around by mean, rugged, and determined giant yellowfin, but we would not exchange the satisfaction of this pain for anything. We are in fishermen's heaven at present; living a dream right here and now.

I imagine I should include the joy and satisfaction of our anglers as well who are for the most part in complete awe of these fish in all their glory. Keep in mind again that this is a fall ten day voyage we are on and very few, if any, anglers who booked on this voyage ever imagined they would be experiencing the best giant yellowfin tuna fishing of their lives on a long range trip such as this; yet another facet of this fishing that makes it so rewarding and so incredibly special. To introduce anglers to our greatest fishing passion, the quest for giant yellowfin, has always been a driving force for Randy, our crew and I, and this is no doubt the epitome of our years in this quest.

As I said I could go on and on but for now I have said enough. Of course we will be in this zone again tomorrow with our fingers crossed, spirits high, and senses razor sharp as the high stakes of this type of fishing are in full swing.
