As promised here are a few photos featuring Guadalupe highlights from 8/18; the first two photos feature long time Royal Star veteran Ron Hobson and his 65# class yellowfin at the moment of gaff, and in the classic vanquished position. The second photo features another Royal Star living legend Jim Taoka, with crewman Blake Wasano, sporting a rarely captured grin for the camera. As many years as I have tried I finally offered a remark quick enough to trigger Jim's wit beyond his control. He cracked the smallest hint of a smile and I pounced on the opportunity. Look for tomorrow's report with a few more photos at full res.
