Far from a rip snorter here, very far, as no more than a few notable fish made their way into the hatch. We do have indications of better potential on the horizon – literally, but not much of what we saw made it's way into the shallows. It's a waiting game, a patience test, and always has been.

Paying dues until conditions turn around is the only option.

The classic image well represents everything we savor about giant yellowfin tuna wrangling. This is how it's done.
