Hola Kathy,
We had a great trip. Too bad we had to come home.
The Ricardo and Hugo were great. We had multiple knock downs and run offs on baits throughout the day missing roughly 15 fish due to short bites and the hooks not setting. The first fish was a Striped Marlin around 150# that was hooked up on a bait and switch with live bait. It put on a great show for almost an hour during the fight. Towards the end when the fish got close to the boat it swam underneath and the line hung up on the bottom of the boat. So Hugo quickly went swimming to save the catch and remove the line from the bottom.
Later in the morning we had a multi-knock down of tuna hooking up with only 1 football yellowfin tuna…too bad we missed the 2 other strikes. That fish was tasty.
We continued to troll northwest towards Golden Gate and found a large school of Dorado around floating debris. We took 4 Dorado with the rest of the live bait and started trolling back home hoping for a wahoo and more tuna but no such luck however we did add another Dorado to the box and found our long dead bait was short striked by a wahoo and missing its body. Next time we are adding a stinger hook.
Thank you to the crew and Hugo for swimming to untangle the line. Most crews would let you break off and we appreciated the extra effort.
I do not have pictures uploaded yet. I will try to remember to send them when I have them uploaded.
Feel free to remind me too.
Frank
