Anymore Big Tuna out there?

After the Joyce boys from San Diego brought in that Big Yellowfin yesterday, everyone was eager to see if they could match the feat.

Unfortunately, Matt Lovecchio and Kevin Grier from New York who fished with Ramon and Juan on TantRum didn't have much luck out there today. They hooked into two different Marlin, but couldn't get anything to the boat.

Chris Rowe and his wife Angie hosted good friends Elizabeth Parker and Larry Harvath on Marlin Too today. Chris has fished with us many times, but this trip was all about Elizabeth. A co-worker of Chris', she was tired of hearing about all the fish he caught when he came to Cabo so Chris was nice enough to bring her along this time. She wanted to do battle with a Marlin and that she did. Elizabeth caught and released her first Striped Marlin, while the rest of the folks caught a few Dorado and nice 60+lb Wahoo.

Sean Music and his crew from Columbus, Ohio joined Alex and Manuel today with high hopes after yesterdays big Tuna on El Nuevo. Alex and Manuel didn't dissapoint, catching and releasing a nice Striped Marlin and also catching a 200+lb Blue Marlin. Unfortunately, the Blue couldn't be revived after the nearly 2 hour fight, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Finally, we had long time friend and customer Frank Ratel and his crew aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Chivo and his mate Jesus. The guys headed for the Pacific after hearing about Captain Alex's big Tuna out there the day before and they got started quickly with a nice Wahoo. After a few hours the Dorado's popped up and they got 4 nice fish. Finally, nearing closing time so to speak, they saw a school of Tuna pop up and Jesus threw a live Caballito as Manuel had the day before and sure enough, they got another big one. After nearly 2 hours, the guys boated a beast of a Yellowfin that weighed in over 150lbs.

Big Tuna and Big Marlin in the water, gotta love Cabo in August!!!!
