Day 2

E-mail Print PDF
Day two was pretty much a replay of yesterday, only a little better (that is a very good thing). The standout for the day went to Neil Campbell with 267 taken on a flylined sardine. Neil is a proffessional bass fisherman and proved that freshwater expertise definately transfers to saltwater. Most of our fish today were 80 to 130 pounds with a good number of fish in the 150 to 175 range. A beautiful grade of hard fighting yellowfin tuna. We also had a few more wahoo than we saw yesterday. The weather today was pretty much perfect.
The action this morning started out hot and heavy with 4 to 6 fish hooked most of the time. As the day went on, the fishing slowed to a steady pick all the way till dark. We have not had a problem with sharks which as been very pleasant. Congradulations to Robert Tankersley who is on his first trip longer than 5 days and needed a fish over 100 pounds to break his personal best. He did that easily today with a fish that weighted 125 pounds. Plenty of time left in the trip to top that mark but he wanted a shout out to Richard B. who he says should have been here. Also a shout out to Michael Ballard, were getting it done.
POEM OF THE DAY
When the wahoo needed a filling
He only found one dentist willing
Fingers cut to the nuckle
I heard the fish chuckle
"Next time use gas before drilling"
