There are trips when you are on fire and this is Kevin’s! It could be going in a pattern of shark, small tuna, wahoo and boom, Kevin gets a big tuna. Next round, small tuna, shark, shark and boom, Kevin caught his 2nd biggest at 256#’s. Next came small tuna, small tuna, small tuna and…

The winner of the Penn 20 VISX for the first tuna over 200 on bait should have been Tom Dow but was disqualified for catching his 201#er without a connected fishing reel. The story goes like this… Tom was fishing a sardine during another rapid fire kite sequence when he hooked a nice fish. He…

Roy and crew delivered again today with an afternoon bite to remember. Every flyer that went out lasted only a few minutes with a beautiful grade of tuna. One after another, after another with Capt Roy yelling… NEXT! Captain and crew handled the controlled chaos with great care. We had 3-4 fish hooked constantly for…

Nice day with QUALITY fish hitting the deck. Three fish over 200, John Yamate 202, Bill Golder 212 and Big Man Stan Kanow with the trip best (so far) 270#’s (Stan elected for a 2nd personal best shower).

We never saw anything to stop on bluefin wise, so we played right through. We had a tackle seminar in the morning and spent the rest of the day making kite leaders, top shots, wiring up lures and putting gear together. Tomorrow we will make a pass by outer bank at the rocks to see…

We departed this morning on our annual Grant’s Ultimate Fishing Adventure 18-day trip. We have a great group of passengers on board and are already having a great time. We will make a quick pass through the bluefin zone tonight, so we are hoping to get lucky and catch a few. RP CREW
