Oh how quick game plans can change out here. Hello all and welcome back. Or welcome me back. Or... What was the question? Never mind. I'm back. I had a wonderful trip off. Spent a lot of time with my daughter. She got much cuter in the last month and also became much more of a terror. All joy though.
When we left the dock this afternoon I felt pretty good about my game plan. Go fish yellows for a day or two, then come catch tuna for the last couple of days. We caught over a hundred tuna today on our departure day. Good ones too. 20-40 pounders minus one 20 fish stop on small yellowfin. Well that just threw a wrench in my whole plans. I'm not whining though. We're very grateful for what we caught today. Not every boat in this ocean caught fish today. So we're going to take it one day at a time now. Hopefully we can do this again tomorrow.
This morning we stopped on a school of yellowfin that was smaller than some schools that we have caught 200 off of. This afternoon there was 30-80 lb bluefin in every direction we looked. Both species were a little reluctant to bite. 31 yellowfin tuna,8 yellowtail,1 bluefin tuna.

The bluefin were a no go again today. We once again saw plenty of schools, they just don't bite. We ended up picking up 3 60-80 pounders. I wanted at least 3 to make jackpot easier, unfortunately for an easy jackpot but fortunately for a Mike Grella, 2 of them were caught by the same man and no one person can take more hen one place. We'll just have to weigh a bunch of those wahoo. We scratched at the yellowfin all day long. In the afternoon we were seeing straight schools of it but it wouldn't bite too well. One at a time. Anyways, the fat lady has sung. We are on the way to the barn all fat and happy. It's been a great trip. Lots of wahoo, yellows and tuna. Tommy will be coming back out for 5 days and I'll be going home. Ever since my wife went back to work I only get to see her and my daughter on the weekends that we're in for the morning and for the last month that's only been once so I'm looking forward to spending some time with them and watching some NFL,
eating some bluefin and wahoo and relaxing. See you all in 5 days.
