We started the day off with a bang again charging into an all out ripper on 140 - 210# yellowfin that began just before sunrise and tapered off after about an hour. The vast majority of what we tagged and released was in the one hundred seventy to one hundred ninety five pound class giving these anglers the chance to stretch out their sore muscles early and get warmed up for the day to come. Man, what a morning. After the morning hit however, the fast action was over with the remainder of our day spent relaxing on the anchor scratching up an occasional 100 - 120# class yellowfin and a few smaller models. In all honesty, the slow relaxing day was thoroughly enjoyed and much appreciated as it gave us all a chance to catch up in preparation for the evening action to come. Ultimately we did get an evening hit but it was nothing like the previous two days with "only" a handful of 140 - 160# yellowfin tagged and two others over the coveted two hundred mark.

So, with the tremendous success we have enjoyed here at Isla Socorro, we are hitting the road tonight heading west in search of Wahoo, and of course more trophy yellowfin tuna. By heading outside we also hope to accomplish our goal of distributing tags in yellowfin tuna and Wahoo throughout the Revillagigedo reserve. With plenty of time to make the rounds and thoroughly assess what the other islands have available in the way of Wahoo and big yellowfin, we also will be able to make a stop back by Socorro on the way in if we choose. If that does indeed become a reality I suspect none of these fantastic anglers will be disappointed. Look for tomorrow's report with details from Roca Partida.
