49 yellowfin tuna 11 yellowtail. We also saw a few schools of 50-100 lb bluefin. The wise angler would come prepared with an assortment of line sizes from 20 to 40 lb.

We had bad odds today. We fished for wahoo and our fish hooked to fish landed ratio was poor. It always is with wahoo but I feel today was extra bad. I think if you're landing half of what you hook with wahoo you're doing OK. Today at best we were 1/3. At best. I called out to 2 of our anglers fishing today and asked what there ratio was for the day and I got a 1/2 and a 1/4. Then my buddy Dave came up to the wheel house and said he was 0/4. So that gives you an idea. If we would've caught half of what we hooked today we would've had a really good day.
Alright. I'm done whining. I'm still glad we came here. Everybody got there chance at a wahoo and there's still a chance for some more tomorrow. We're headed inside now and we'll be fishing for wahoo while we're looking for tuna first thing tomorrow morning. The weather now is fantastic. A little weird this morning with mixed swell and a wind coming from the southwest but it's beautiful now.
We couldn't come to an agreement on a price for someone to wear Mark's shirt today. Justin wanted 200 and Mike said he'd do it for 150 but I couldn't find enough people to chip in. It was a good one too. He was wearing a white shirt today, so by 9:00 this morning he could've entered a wet t-shirt contest. He may have won too if you're into guys like Mark.

And here's what we did today. The crew rigged up mucho tackle. I'm talking the grande stuff for the grande fish. After that and after breakfast we did our tuna seminar and I talked Tommy into doing a couple parts of the seminar. All I know for the past 10 years is my tuna seminar. It's nice to get a different perspective. Anyways, after that we were finishing up tackle rigging when poof, all three trollers went off. So we caught a couple meals. 3 nice dorado. So then it was lunch time of street tacos. And then some napping went down and the afternoon movie was Caddy Shack. When 5:00 rolls around it's cocktail hour and it looks glorious. Drinks, cigars, and friends. Then we had baby back ribs for dinner. Once again like the first 2 nights we tried for some giant squid to use as bait, but we were unsuccessful.
Still no storms brewing up down below and we're getting more and more confident we won't be getting pushed out of the fishing grounds until we say so. 2 more days of travel before we arrive. Everyone is enjoying themselves now because in a couple days, it's going to be war. We'll be battling it out with 200+ pound tuna and wahoo.

Our speed remained slow all of last night and today until we were 10 miles above our destination. We didn't arrive until 3:00 this afternoon. We trolled the place up for a while for no srikes before getting the anchor down. It was great yellowtail fishing but unfortunately the grade wasn't all that great. What we kept was mostly 12-25 pounds but we did alot of releasing to get that. We're going to try a different zone tomorrow. There is still alot of water to be looked at and we're in the beggining half of our trip. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a night bite going tonight. The weather is just dandy out here. Light wind and it's hot. Lots of sunscreen being rubbed on out here.
