Canyon Runner 240# Bluefin Report - 8/21-22 - With Pics

[Canyon Runner]

Capts. Mark DeBlasio, Greg Ryback and Peter Doran took the Elliot Braun and John Vice charter down to the Lobster Claw on Thursday afternoon as the canyons still don't have what it takes to produce a decent enough catch - but the Claw certain can. They got there late and did not get on the chunk until 8pm so they missed the evening bite. They got there first bleuifn on at 4am and had another in the pitch black both they fish were are 58" so they kept one. At around 6:30 am a whole squid right on the bottom went off and 2 hours later they darted a 77" bluefin after fighting it on a Penn International 50VSW. This fish weighed in at 240#. They fought another 4 more bluefin all around 58-60". Needless to say we'll be fishing the Claw until these fish disappear.

Wow great catch. That must have been an awesome fight on a 50. Congrats to everyone involved.

Nice fish, I bet that got the blood going. Are you guys allowed to sell it or the charter has to keep it?

i need to take a day off and go during the week

[Canyon Runner]

dunn - that was the one "trophy" fish allowed under the angler catagory for that boat this year so no the fish can not be sold and we cut it up at the dock and everyone had big sushi parties!!!

Yes you have to go during the week - we actually cancel both Saturday/Sunday charters on both boats today as it is just not right to take a charter out there for the prices we charge when we know the crowds are just going to kill the fishing for them.

Hopefully it holds up for our Sunday/Monday charters.

By the way I forgot to mention that bluefin was gill gutted so I guess it weighed more like 260-270 whole.

Awesome stuff...the consistency of your crews is amazing. Congrats!
