Leisurely reverie would best describe events and activities today that included plenty of picture swapping and video viewing as we glided northwest in calm seas. Yarns from the most recent and past voyages were spun and a jovial
atmosphere prevailed as miles were logged in the direction toward home.
And most certainly all are ready to reunite with terra firma, family, and friends to share the experiences of this fantastic voyage and catch up on all that has transpired since our departure. Without question, following the final
couple of travel days, this sentiment will be magnified times ten, or greater.
On the fishing front I again want to make an urgent appeal to any big tuna anglers on behalf of the extraordinary fishing occuring down below. As I draft this report it is on, still. With signs of 70 - 300# yellowfin in the entire
lower zone consistent, reliable, and beckoning now is the time. If the 14 day departing Saturday, Feb. 4th is in the realm of possibility one could not select a time that offers better odds of success.
Photos today feature veteran long range angler, and "voice of reason" Jim Hopkins with a fine, day time 208 he has been targeting for some time. An avid angler from Northern California, Jim is meticulous in his rigging and fishing
techniques, rightfully productive at the rail, and plugged in to the community via internet fishing forums. And, I am glad to say that Jim is one of the good guys - no b.s., no cyber bullying, no hate spewing worthless drivel; a voice of
reason expressing genuine interest and intellect. My respect and appreciation for Jim as an angler and individual is obvious - he has earned it.
Photo number two features another long time veteran Martin Rudolph with his early morning 238 that gave him a full run for his money. Following the hook set Martin, who is no slouch of a man, was literally dragged across the stern as the
panicked giant took off in the opposite direction heading for deep water. Once he got settled in however the odds swung in his favor. With feet planted, strength focused, and the big gear set to work, this spirited beast had his
sails deflated in short order. In this battle of giants Martin prevailed!

1-30-2012And just like that, they were gone. Virtually zero sign of jumbos today, despite continued fantastic action on 70 - 120 yellowfin, with a few standouts in the 160 - 185# class. We did have one shot at a giant early, but to our chagrin the brief skirmish ended with a bare hook coming back trailing only a small piece of skin. At least the skulking beast now has a pierced lip to remember us by. Focusing on the positive however, all...... Read More

We didn't operate with quite the efficiency as previous mornings dumping at least a couple of three jumbos while landing only two - such are the up's and down's of giant yellowfin tuna fishing. Plenty was made of the day otherwise; and opportunity is what it is all about. What anglers, Captain, and crewmen make of the opportunity is the defining theme of a day, certain voyage, entire season, and perhaps even an operation in totality. This is our perspective anyway, and,...... Read More
