The boys had to battle it out without with Killer Whales yesterday. Fishing right in there with our 2 Canyon Runner Boats were a pod of killer whales that were beating us to the fish. Mark has better pictures and videos but this is all I got so far as he's fishing agian today.
This report is from Capt. Mark DeBlasio
--------------------------------------
I can only say I have never seen anything like it ... We found the bluefin good today, with 9 bites, 7 of which came tight. Of those 7, we brought a 71", 80", 82" and 86" fish to the boat, with the Orcas giving us hell on 3 of those 4. They managed to eat one other bluefin right up to the head before I developed my "anti Orca" tactics and we pulled the hook on one around 75" near the boat and broke another one of when the braid got buried in the spool. On the 48, they had some bites and managed to get an 85" or so fish boatside, then got spooled on a 70VS and lost a few to the Orcas. It was definately a Nat Geo kind of day. At one point some two tone dolphins swam right into the pod of Orcas and we expected to see a bloodbath ... it did not materialize and the two tones swam away fine .. must be some sort of "mammal etiquette".. I have some more pics coming , but for now I wil post a few of what ws left of a bluefin after the Orcas took a bite
ALSO - WE HAVE ONE SPOT OPEN ON OUR 48 FOR FRIDAY - PLEASE EMAIL ME AT ADAM@CANYONRUNNER.COM IF INTERESTED.
