200 hours worth hard work, finally paid off. My 10th trip to cape cod blue fin tuna finally brake my bad luck. Thanks to Capt. Jimmy the greek, we got this fat girl on trolling. Lost nice mako on boat side and also lost another one because failed crimp. Beautiful weather in the morning but got worse later on. Quick stop by Jimmy seabass spot and limited out sea bass too..









Yong,

Nice fish jiggingworld, that should cover all the other non productive trips, which I'm sure you still had fun being out there. Thanks for sharing.
Any relations to The Jimmy the Greek sports commentator?

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

jiggingworld!!! Persistence pays off!  Congratulations to you.

The albatross around my neck is Wahoo.

Have been on 5 trips to Los Cabos or the Cabo area, each for 1, 2 or 3 fishing days, spent $8,000 in total travel costs, and had two wahoo on for a millisecond.

My Los Cabos fishing compatriot, Dominick, while expert at catching Tuna, for Wahoo, well... not so much  ::) ;D

CAN'T wait to successfully hook, fight and LAND on the deck my 1st Wahoo.

I may have to travel to San Diego, looks like they are currently being caught there:

In my youth, I backpacked 200 miles over 6 trips to catch my first Golden Trout!

I will stay persistent and focused on my Wahoo Catching Goal!!!
