It's a rare day that finds me at a shortage for words; better stated in this case a shortage of time necessary to craft something beyond ordinary. The good news on the fishing front is that while day one began on shaky ground - zero tuna for the first seven hours, we made a move that landed us smack in the middle of a productive afternoon zone.

And interestingly, or rather, fortuitously, the timing of such a move would have been lost had we followed the traditional pattern of movement between the islands. As it turned out, our delayed departure from Cabo San Lucas led directly to the opportunity found today. Sometimes things are meant to be. Anyway the afternoon sign was exactly what we came for with steady hits for straight quality yellowfin offshore. Ninety to one twenties made up about half the total with 150 - 190's making up the difference. It was a good showing that actually has me charged up to see what tomorrow brings.

Not wanting to get too far ahead however, day one of ten is checked off in the success column; nine more now to go. Perhaps tomorrow will allow time for a side dish or two with the meat and potatoes.

Photo today features master angler Jai from Seven Seas tackle who again made the sojourn west to try his hand at the big yellowfin of the Revillagigedo archipelago. And, as usual, he came out on top throttling more than his share. In this series Jai almost drew a losing hand as a bigger model threatened to take all 550 yards of mono from his Shimano Talica 25. We connected the backup just in time for the crazed tuna to finally stop and turn. The fish was ultimately subdued with little trouble after a few rounds of back and forth with a mere twenty or thirty yards left on the reel. All in good fun - exactly what we came for.
