"They say that all good things must come to an end. And so it is with our weather. Weather today was clear skies, a stiff breeze out of the northwest at 15 knots. As for fishing today, we had limits of Yellowfin tuna in the 15 to 18-pound range, a handful of Dorado, and some 18 to 25-pound Yellowtail. We did catch one Grouper that we released. We are now headed north, and hoping the weather is not too bad, so we could make a few stops for Halibut or some rockfish."

Aside from a special little morning treat that upended our shot at bluefin the day ended strong in the success column with signature ridge variety. Bluefin tuna, ridiculous yellowtail action, and even more ridiculous late afternoon dorado catching completed the second full day of classic "yankin' and crankin" that left anglers spent, elated, and ready to celebrate; no question they earned it.
