Hello Anglers,

We had another fantastic day of fishing here on the Excel. The day started out looking grim with no real sign of cows. Just before lunch, we found a sonar school of big ones. We stayed busy until dark with four to eight heavies hanging all the time. The thing about these big cows is that if you have any flaws in your tackle at all, these guys will expose them. Needless to say we had some heart breakers but we did manage to land 17 fish from 180-343 pounds. Here are pictures of our top 11 cows. Their weights were 206,211,220,220,223,238,241,243,247,305, and 343. Big fish honors have to go to Steve Wenzel with a personal best tuna that went 305 on the scale. And Carl Dorton also with his personal best, a 343. Both fish were caught on fly lined sardines. JUSTIN
