Nice size fish, not the cows you're looking for, but it's putting meat in the freezer.  Things are looking up for the long range trips this year.  Bill

60 fluoro, 20 pound of drag at strike,  30 at full. I fought him at full the entire time.  Took 20 minutes and 2 laps around the boat. Four fish hanging at the same time!

We ended up with over 30 fish on the last day. I got Roberto to rig six bait rods with 60 pound fluoro.  That was the ticket.

funny thing about that.  these fish were mean.  seriously, they were really mean.  the last one took me around the boat twice.  he just would not turn.  even with 30 pounds of drag on 60 pound test, we went around twice.  finally, on that second lap, i got him to turn and spiral up on the bow.  his mistake.  where ever they turn, that's where they die.
