This report is being told by your local Sancochero

Got the invite to go on the Espadon with Biebs, Capt Sylvain, Mover II and Capt Rick. What a great crew to be out with. arrived around 5:30am after an all night chug. Slow morning with tons of slingers. Moved down the line a few more miles and had a steady pick all day. Mostly doubles would slide into the spread. Biebs aka - The Circle Hook Sensation was En Fuego. He got the first two whites before any of the rest of us could touch a rod. He is now my idol After swinging and missing on a gazzilion fish Mover II and I finally hooked up on a double. They must of been the two stupist marlin in the ocean to have us be able to get em. a few more misses and then Capt Rick had to show us how to get it done with one more release. A final crack at a blue that wouldn't eat and it was time to hit the road. Thanks again Karl and Sylvain. As always had a blast. Final tally was 5 for 13.

and a few dolphin.

Sounds like you had some of the better of it for the day- how far down di ya get?

[Squidnation]

Franky - I was downstairs all day and really couldn't give you exact data. But I do know we were 82 miles when we picked up to come home. We never really got to see any cutters like had been reported but PJ saw some.

5 for 13? Sounds like at least Sylvain did his job.

It's an obvious sign of a talented fisherman when he publically admits he could catch a Bluefish with a treble hook on a given day. I've seen you snag everything that came within sight of a bait too many times and envy your God given talent--- but GD man, having Karl on fire while you're having an off day?--- that's gotta hurt
Pretty work Karl-- and I'm sure that you being the gentleman you are did not rub it in one bit.

Nope he was a perfect gentleman about it. he even offerred to hook them for me and let me sit in the chair and crank them in
But......But .......the one I did catch was a trophy. Both capt Sylvain and Karl went crazy when they saw it and suggested that such a trophy fish should be mounted. I thought hard about it as I was fighting the fish and decided to let him go. But when I looked back to see if Karl was ready to release my trophy, Instead He was standing next to me with a mount contract and a credit card machine.

Bill,
Ended up 1 for 4 fishing with Pat and Bill on the "Odd Couple".
I think you guys were down around the 450 line. We stayed close to the 600 line and got most of our bites in the morning.
At 1:00 we made a move up the line to fish an area we passed on the way down (lots of birds, bait and weed). We managed a bunch of slingers and saw our last marlin right at 4:00. Swing and a miss for Bill. Worked the area a bit more and packed it in with a 60 mile run. Ran 32 knots and were back at the dock at 6:20pm.
Good day.
