"We didn't arrive to the bluefin zone until early afternoon," said the report from Brian Kiyohara and American Angler for June 14, "so as one could imagine anticipation was at an all time high. After a short stop for a handful of fish, we arrived in a nectar spot that just felt right. After a short time there was a call from the mast indicating the presence of a good school of fish. When we finally caught up to them they responded with a vengeance and by the time we got down on deck every rod was bit. With 26 fish hooked at once, one can only imagine the three and four way tangles as the fish were almost biting too good. Everyone remained calm as we salvaged just about everything and ended up our first afternoon with 71 fish."
