The boat

Fishing has been tough for the boat.

We spent the first day slow rolling towards the tuna grounds while looking for kelps. We stopped on a few kelps and a couple hooked up on YT but they all broke off.

We made it to the tuna grounds around 9 pm and began looking for schools. We found the first one around 930 and a about 5 people hooked up but only 2 were landed.
The next school we found was a little more cooperative and 5 fish were landed including mine.
We looked around until 1230 at night and then called it quits to head south. The plan was to head south and spend the entire next day looking for paddies.
We got to the zone around 9am to start the search. We looked all day and only caught 3 YT and they weren't all that big. Tough trip for everyone.

See you gents in the AM

Ouch!

What is the issue with lost fish, mean fish, wrong gear,  poor technique or shat happens?

Mostly bad technique for a bunch of newbies

The fish weighed in at 115# so add 10% for gills and guts and that makes 125#, a new PB for me!
