Had regulars Mike, Jim and son Bret with newcomer Eric. Left at dark thirty and made our way to the grounds. Found immediate life with bait, Dolphins,And great bait readings. Nothing went searching, saw bluefin on the surface and trolled past them and had a nice 46 inch under on a canyon runner rainbow green machine spreader. Saw tons of bait but nothing. Decided to change gears and start chunking. Mike had bite a right away on a sardine and did a great job but lost him at boat side damn, fish was all of 60 inches! Went back on the hunt and saw another pod of bluefin on top and it are the same spreader bar again,Nice 45 incher.

Great getting back out there with you Fred! Perfect conditions and great weather day.Enjoy the intensity of fishing the way you do. Was great to watch the tuna busting at the surface and then anticipate the following bite. Shame we didn't get to land the beast on the sardine but a heck of a fight with it and at least was able to see it in it's glory. Get em next time. Thanks again for a great day and going the distance to find the fish for us!

Great time with a great crew. I knew you would appreciate my words of encouragement throughout the day. call it Andreas Toy motivational tips! Lmfao. Dude its crazy how u make that 45 inch tuna look like a guppy. Wish we didnt have that tackle failure, still owned that over fish, it never had a chance.

That 60 incher wouldn't have looked like a guppy!!!! There will be less of me in the next photo op so the fish will look bigger!! Those two unders were no small fish, lots of meat to package up....Thanks again Fred!
