Fishing trip

[ElapidSVT]

wow...just wow.
i just got back from a 6-day fishing trip on the Shogun out of San Diego. it was absolutely amazing. the captain kept us on fish, the crew took excellent care of us and our catch. i learned so much and met a lot of great guys. we spent the first 17 hours traveling to the bluefin area and a few guys got some. just didn't happen for me.the next day found us at Isla Cedros fishing for yellowtail which were plentiful and in the 15 - 20lb range. the next day we went after larger yellowtail and i got a 26lber and had a few that felt much larger, but alas... they either got sawed off or detached themselves one way or another. no jackpot for me. then we went after albacore and i brought in 4 of them right around 25lb each.
my first tuna.

woo hoo, it's edible that's all that matters looks like you had fun if nothing else, sometimes it's not what you catch, but what all happens while your catching looks like a fun trip.

Sounds like an awesome trip. I have gone on a few day trips out of San Diego and its always a blast out there. How was the weather on the water? (been crazy hot inland).

the weather was fantastic! when we got back to port i thought i was gonna melt. omg. i ended up with 400lb of fish before processing. came home with about 150+lb of prime fillets all vacuum packed by the lovely ladies at 5-star fish processing. needless to say i'll be eating some of the finest sashimi grade tuna and yellowtail for the next year...
