This blue devil seemed to think it was a good idea to bite the KRAKEN and then chew on our engine trim wires before eating the bonita slab with the hidden hook. I have to be honest: I took it personally.
Buddy Hall from Orlando, Fl, was kind enough to share the half hour fight with this 201# mako with his brother Michael, providing some welcomed action on an otherwise slow day at the Lump.
I don’t know what your favorite fish is, but this one sure is mine.
Good news: our first trip of the year to the Midnight Lump was a successfull one. Mark Riner and his high school buddies from Nowalt, OK , fished with us this past weekend and had just about the perfect scenario. First of all, the forecast was marginal enough that most of the other boats got scared off, and secondly, the fishing report from the day before was poor enough that the rest of the boats got scared away. I felt it a little on the way home, but that’s just about what it takes these days to have a somewhat “private” day on the Lump. Mark and his buddy Janes tag-teamed this nice 100# yellowfin late in the day after catching some smaller tunas and (if you count the shark-eaten heads) a limit of amberjacks. We’re ready and waiting for the next break in the weather.
