i finally got some photos loaded up on the computer at work. the computer at home is toast. still gotta find time to fix it. in the mean time, here are a few photos to whet your whistle. there are still fish out there, so we've gotta just keep the faith. this trip was from last month. since then, no one has been able to get out because of weather. i hope that will change with the week

this is tim benson, tuna noob. as is customary on this boat, noobs are abused mercilessly. couldn't believe he actually swallowed the heart. no one else does .....

proper fish handling is very important. everything is cut up, bagged and packed in ice within the hour.

this is the view just before a 7-8 fish 30 minute bait stop. it was pandemonium.

25 knots and 2 hours to get home. the boys did a great job of cleaning the boat. we ended with 24 albacore, small grade but very tasty. hope you enjoyed the photos. the san diego report is next!

Alan, glad to see you found this site!...awesome pictures, what a bummer we had to go to florida during the "hot" bite...We were shocked you let the decks of that fishing machine of yours get so bloody...
