We had a group that has been fishing with Capt. BC until his retirement, so Capt Dave had some large shoes to fill from his mentor who he learned so very much.

Well, Mark and friends were kept busy from the moment the lines got in the water with Big-eye Tuna bites then soon after Yellow-fin Tuna bites. They had a great time catching Dolphin after Capt. Dave picked up the baits and moved about 10 miles South. We got our first billfish of the season to the boat with a Blue Marlin release in the end that came up on a long rigger. Capt Dave had to throw the High Return into gear to keep the Blue Marlin from throwing the bait. The 250lb class Blue gave everyone a show with several jumps really close to the boat.

Just look at the catch, all that Mahi-Mahi, and the 50lb class of Yellow-fin Tuna look really small compared to the 125lb class Big-eye Tuna.
