Today's selections feature anglers Greg Koontz and "Alaska Mike" Norenberg. Greg, Captain Brian Sims, and I are sharing one of Greg's many victorious moments in the photo taken on deck while the solo photo of Greg working on a big one was taken at Isla Socorro. Greg joined us on Royal Star for the first time this voyage bringing with him half a dozen of our favorite OTR harnesses that are manufactured by his business partner Lon Mikkelson in Oregon. Needless to say they were all put to good use and many thanks to Greg for enabling us to introduce, and in the process convert, a few more anglers to the huge advantage a quality harness like the OTR can make when battling giant yellowfin tuna.

Our good friend "Alaska Mike" Noremberg joins us several times annually all the way from Fairbanks Alaska where giant yellowfin tuna fishermen are likely a rare few. In fact, Mike may be the only one. Regardless, we are thankful that Mike joined us on this voyage that was converted from a regular fly down/fly back ten day back in January. Mike ventured the trip to see what the tagging program was all about and was rewarded with the best fishing he has ever seen. Thanks for the vote of confidence Mike and we hope that your effort towards tagging all those big yellowfin tuna will pay big dividends for science.
