09:30 I think every boat has hooked up Including a kayak but not me?
09;35 Boil on the short rigger again.
10:20 I am getting very frustrated watching all these tuna jump and no bites.
10:21 "Fish On" Trick or Treat in the wash. looks like a double coming keep the Riggs in.
10:25 No double we have a nice fish on the 130# all the guys are taking turns.

PS the Kayak Caught a fish estimated about 200 pounds on a spinning rod. If anyone knows this kid get some pictures. I heard this was his second big fish in his kayak. He does this legally paddling himself back to shore and he has a permit. Here is the hole story http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pb...WS11/911059971

Hey Capt Greg
It was a pleasure to meet you and see the Fortuna beauty! Glad to hear you say that Monday was a tough day....I think we just got lucky with one dumb fish out there!

I will take you up on the May tuna and maybe we can get on your boat in the spring!

Love your posts!
