Mondays Trip

We have been fishing the shrimp boats for almost a month now! A lot of good fish have been taken during this time! I know of atleast one that went over 200 pounds! We fished them Monday with Ricky's Crew from Georgia. His family fished with us this summer, they landed a blue marlin and a nice pile of Yellowfin so they were pumped about going catch a big boy!

We were able to find one boat, that was it, one boat! Started a slick, ran a line down and just that fast - FISH ON!! After about 20 mins or so, I knew that we were on a good one! We had fought the fish for about 30 mins when we felt the line pop! I think the teath from the tuna cut us off, the line was marked up about 3 inches up! We got the lines back out and got in a nice pile of blackfin! After about 6 blackfin the line started to scream again! This time it was about 15 mins into the fight when we felt the line go slack! Pulled the hook! Talk about not our day!! Started to catch more blackfin, we really had them going for a while! They were jumping everywhere, I had two guys throwing Frenzy Poppers catching blackfin and bonita, we were in the back catching blackfin on chunks when I hear "HUGE FISH HIT THE POPPER" ! I am sure it was a yellowfin but we will never know because like the other two, OH YEAH- We lost it!! 0 for 3 on yellowfin, dont try this at home!!

We were able to finish the day with 20 stud blackfin! Everyone had a blast, I just wish we didnt have the "One that got away" story X3 !!
