Hunter Carmouche: The Marlin Tamer!

Hi again,

Today's fishing was up and down again. It's rough out there and everybody said that the guys did their best, but fish decided not to bite. We did have 2 successful stories though, one of them includes a 17 yr old buddy who reeled in his first striped marlin. I will give details further ahead.

The marina has been very lonely today, not much action or activity going on, but hopefully it will start picking up by tomorrow. I am guessing it's because many people decided not to travel for this memorial day weekend???? who knows.

Any how, Our first group includes a party of 6 aboard Rum Runnin with Captain Javier and mate Americo. This was Shelby Posner, Ernest, Hunter, William, Harry, Andrew and Matt. These guys started off with some offshore fishing on the pacific side but decided to stick to doing some inshore fishing because someone on board got a bit seasick. But this did not stop the guys from continuing their search for big fish and by the end of their trip they came back with a 25 Lb. Yellowfin. Not too bad, considering the waves, winds and all! They decided to bring the fish back with them and get it cooked up later tonight and have a nice "cena" (dinner) Thank you guys for coming!

Our second group is the Carmouche Party. and the words that pop into my head when I think of them are 2: Awesome gentlemen. I met them yesterday while I was checking them into the Portofino Condo. They are all very down to earth and very nice guys. and today was a lucky day as they came back with Yellowfin and a 150 Lb. Marlin. But this Marlin has a story behind it....You see, the Carmouche's were accompanied by Jimbo's 17 yr old son and Jim's oldest grandson Hunter.
This buddy reeled in the 150 Lb Marlin all on his own and it only took him 30 mins! Great going!
Jim Carmouche, Jimbo, Charlie, Pete and Friend Lloyd Fisher witnessed Hunter catch the 150 Lb Striped Marlin all on his own and his very first!
Too bad they didn't do the old bucket trick! hunter, you have no idea how hard it is to reel in a bucket! That's what the guys did to me when I first worked here. You can say my Cherry was popped in the ocean! LOL
Anyhow, these guuys had a great time today and they are really looking forward to do this again on Tuesday!.

Let's see how they do then!

Thanks for reading!

Dedicated to: Our Fallen Heroes

Happy Memorial day weekend to all!

Hope everyone is enjoying this 3 day weekend but lets keep in mind who we are actually remembering ...our fallen heroes. If you don't have anyone who has ever served in your family, it's still about respect for those who have lost someone. As you read this we have women and men making the ultimate sacrifice so that we can all enjoy the country today! Be with your families and enjoy their company this weekend, but keep it in perspective and take a moment to reflect for those who cannot be with us any longer. This is for all the brave women and men who are in the front lines...To you, the RedRum team says Thank you!!!

Fishing has been on and off these past few days and unfortunately we've had some boats coming back without any fish....It's fishing not catching guys!!

Jessica Fidrych and David Cooley fished with us yesterday on the 28' ReelRum. They went out for a full day but came back early as the waters were somewhat choppy and caused a minor seasick motion. Even though they came back early, they managed to reel in a 35 Lb. Yellowfin Tuna by the 95 Bank. These guys were very excited about their trip that they hardley caught any sleep!
Thanks guys for coming to fish with us!

On a half day we had Paul Marchesani and his family fishing about the 32' RedBeam for half a day. These folks had an awesome day out in the Pacific with Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon. They reeled in 3 yellowfin and a striped Marlin which was caught and released. Their tuna was going to get cooked at Misiones de Kino later that night, so hopefully they enjoyed their meal!

We had a CCA group from Louisianna with Blake Fouquier, Brant and Charles fishing aboard the 33' Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. These guys had a great day and reeled in more fish than what was really allowed!! They caught 16 yellowfin tuna all on their own! while the guys did the fishing, the girls decided to make it a day of their own as well and spent most of it doing some shopping! Maybe they'll decide to join their crew on their second trip tomorrow. We will let y'all know!

And last but not least we had Kimberly Rouleau and Christopher Calvillo fishing aboard the 28' with captain Omar and Mate Juan. These folks reeled in 3 yellowfin tuna and a Marlin that was caught and released. I heard they had a great time. Thank you guys for fishing with us. They were out by the sea of cortez and several hot spots that lead to this gigantic salt water pool =)

I will keep you updated with the latest 411 from RedRum!
