Either you find the Tuna or you find the skunk...

That was the theme today for most of our boats. You have to remember that we get all kinds of requests from anglers; "I only want to catch a Marlin!!!" Or the even more specific, "I want to catch a 6000lb Dorado."

That being said, the boats that wanted to catch Tuna or left it up to the Captain and Mate did fine today, but it wasn't one of those days that you could order your catch like you were at Long John Silvers. We certainly have those days in Cabo and probably more than anywhere else, but not today. That being said....

Walt Harrison and his son-in-law and grandson Ralph and Brad Phillips joined Omar and Americo on RedRum and they found the Tuna. After Ralph and Brad brought a few 15-20 lb fish in, they told Walt it was his turn. "Grandpa's Luck" would prevail as Walt fought a 50+lb Yellowfin for over an hour before Americo was able to sink the gaff and get the fish aboard.

Harrison Smith, a friend of a friend from Houston, Texas was down with a big group and they decided to head out for a day together on Pescado III, the 42' Stopperton. They had a nice day on the water enjoying whales, porpoise, and adult beverage's. Unfortunately, they did not spend any time on the Rod and Reel. As a disclaimer, the Smith crew wasn't picky, they just wanted to catch fish, the fish just weren't interested. That happens.

Jesse Logan joined the crew of ReelRum for a day on the water and I think they threw every lure, type of bait, style of rigging, etc at fish they saw, but couldn't buy a bite. You can lead a horse to water....

Todd and Yolanda Blechinger from Thief River Falls, Minnesota got into the fish early and often today. They had caught and released more than 10 Yellowfin before 10am they claimed when they returned to the office in the afternoon. With the grass always being greener on the other side of the pasture, they decided to leave the school and search for some Marlin. They ended the day with the Yellowfin and nothing more unfortunately. That's the decision you have to make sometimes though. Glad they were lucky enough to be in that position.

Fellow Minnesotan's, Paul and Peggy Kohl, celebrating their honeymoon nonetheless, spent the day with Ramon and Juan on Tantrum and had a good day. Considering they didn't find the Tuna and no one could buy a Marlin bite, they were still able to manage to bring in 4 nice Dorado. Congrats on the marriage guys!
