Steady progress toward the goal today as bigger fish returned and we made good on the opportunity. Good scratching is how I would describe it - a perfect pace during the same "banker's hours" bite time as the prior two days that kept the deck orderly, efficient, and well managed by the boys. Three over the two hundred mark complimented another dozen or so in the 150 - 190 pound class along with steady release action on yellowfin in the 100 pound and under range.
Good times among good friends; nothing like enjoying the company of those who share the passion for offshore fishing and drive and mettle to embark on a long range voyage. When times are good it makes it that much better. At the official half way point of this run we are mindful of remaining hold capacity and laser focused on occupying it with jumbos. At this point it only takes one - the one - for each angler to spike the ball.
Speaking of victory special credit is due for Bosko Kustidic who is putting on a clinic at the rail during his first long range voyage. Bosko is clobbering the fish with such consistency that his success can not be assigned to luck. His secret? Time at the rail; time in the water. In short - fishing; slow or otherwise he is out there at the rail putting in his time. The results speak for themselves. Today's photos first feature Bosko and his son Vladimir with a hearty 221 landed this morning. Photo number two is the man solo with his prize.
As side story worth mentioning occurred at the beginning of the voyage. Bosko signed on for this adventure with no prior long range experience. He was a little apprehensive before departure not knowing anyone or what to expect. When the final skiff arrived carrying the last few anglers that flew in from San Diego aboard was Bosko's son, and experienced long range angler, Vladimir. Caught totally off guard by his son's surprise appearance Bosko, in his overwhelming joy, realized that he'd been had. We were all in on the scheme from the start. Needless to say both Bosko and Vladimir began this voyage on a high note that has definitely carried over to the fishing.
