A full day of fishing enjoyment as we satisfied the "jerkin' and pullin'" component of this fall ten day in every respect. Productive angling on 12 - 25 pound yellowfin tuna, 15 - 25 pound yellowtail, and even a few still lost bluefin, was coupled with light winds and an ocean becalmed for an all around ideal day on the high seas. And without question it was thoroughly appreciated with yesterday's paltry results in fresh reference.

A couple of happy campers in today's images pleased to be on the receiving end of Poseidon's beneficence. Veteran long range angler's Steve Fukuda and long time favorite Jan Abbot can't mask their jubilance as they pose with their twenty five pound bluefin. I couldn't either on the other side of the camera. In fact, other than one short, spirited, Captain Bligh episode, when every angler on deck was reacquainted with the depth of my passion and fishing commitment, I couldn't obscure my sense of well being the entire day. The glass was full; to the brim.
