Still Think'n VB 070807

After a late night call from Don stating he was still 10 miles off the beach we scrambled and put another man in the Back. So it was myself, Otter, Steady, Surfer Dave and TEX (guys who caught his first YFT last week and it was a citation).

Left Owls Creek around 0400 and had lines in at 0610. 5 minutes and we get a small Mahi on the Sea witch. Troll around and find a Post that had just thousands of bailers on it so we pulled out the spinning gear and played with them for a bit. Put enough to make a few sandwitches and called Mega Bite over to get his charte some bailing action.

Trolled south from the mahi and finally get a Tuna Bite, had 5 rods go down all tight....then all of a sudden a big ass Blue Marlin eats the Get Reel Tiki Bar and commences to pull it through the entire spread knocking 3 fish off the lines, he dropped the TIki bar and hammeered the WTFB and screamed drag on an 80 2 speed before the 80Lb Fluro decided to part ways...nice fish...we land 2 of those Tuna...

get a few more knock downs but nothing tight....getting ready to call lines in when a single 40Lb class YFT east a Get Reel Tiki Bar (again)..boat him...so we go 3 for 8 on the tuna and boat about 20 Bailer Mahi....great day on the water....Bob

Nice work, guys. I bet that was a real firedrill with all those tunas on and a blue tearing it all up. Too bad the 80 didn't have a heavy leader, so you could have added a flag to the catch photo. Nice catch of fish, sounds like a fun day.
