**NBU/Fnn** GO 4 BROKE~!!!

[k3vin_kim]

8/16-17 Charter: Orion (seaforth SD).
FNN Members : k3vin_kim, 4g63Power, Mchipncharge, DeanHall, DavidE, Pineapple express and RebelMonk.

First off, BIG THANX to DavidE for setting up this whole shin-dig.

Met up w/Jimmy and Matt at my pad around 4pm to board a 10pm overnight trip on Orion. Big accident on 405 and it took us about 3 hours to get there.

Once we're at the landing we see DavidE, Pineapple and two friends. Coach Dean shows up 5 minutes after we do. We eat and futs around until every one on the manifest show up. Super light load of 15.

Captain Brian runs a very nice operation. While we picked up bait (steriod sardines), The Cap tells us to gather in the galley and he briefs us and gives us the options...

1) We could hit the beach around the paddies at a sure fire shot at some dinky 3-4 pound Dodo's...

or...

2) GO For BROKE and check out the 60 mile bank. Nobody has been there for a while so we're REALLY taking a gamble here. But if we hit it.... we'll hit the Jackpot since no other boats will be with us.

We all look around and unamnimously decide to GO FOR BROKE... Balls to the wall, Pedal to the metal.

Cool~! Sleep time... ZZZZzzZZzzZZzzZzZzzZZzZZZZzzZzZZzzz...

Wake up around 5 am. We meter some marks under the boat, nothing wants to bight so we move on and set up the trollers.

1 marauder - 1 skipper - 1 swim bait - 1 cedar plug

We troll and troll w/no luck for the first hour or so. Then we get a bite on the troll. Dean skipped on the surface a small dodo... and Matt (Mchip) catches a small dodo as well. We pick up and move along.

We stop at a small paddy and catch 2 or 3 more small dodo's...

Troll.... troll...

Around 10:50 we were wondering if this Go for broke thing was a good idea.

11AM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHhhhhhHhHHhhhhHHHhHHHhHH~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schools and Schools of YELLOW FIN TUNA - the kind that Captian had told us about the night before... Breaking, Crashing, Boiling EVERYWHERE!!!!

Everyone was just pulling and pulling and having a grand old time.

GAFF~!!

COLOR~!!!

OVER~!! UNDER~!!

WHOOOO HOOOO~!!!

HOOOOK UPPPP~!!

MOVE MOVE MOVE~!!!!

FOLLOW YOUR LINE~! FOLLOW YOUR FISH~!!!

KEEP YOUR TIPS UP~!!!

YEAH~~!!!!!!!!!!!!

This happened for about 6 straight hours. We drifted 7 miles in 6 and a half hours... I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Jimmy and Matt - Congratulations on your First Tuna's.

DavidE, PineApple, Rebel - Nice to meet you guys. Can't wait til the next trip guys~!

Dean - Proud of ya man. You really put the hurt on those YFT's today. And you know, I don't care what they say about you Dean... I think you are a good fisherman.

Outey - KK

[Oz]

wtg go guys on the YFT and dodo bite.

dean-o killing them again.

glad u got in on this rithy :Cool: wish i woulda known bout the trip. i didnt work sunday :Rolls Eyes:

[Re8elmonk0341]

Thanx David for the invite Mark and I had a blast. Popped my tuna cherry and it was Mark's first offshore/overnight trip and he got a huge DoDo-WTG BUDDY. It was nice meeting all of ya'll (k3vin_kim, 4g63Power, Mchipncharge, DeanHall, DavidE, and Pineapple express), can't wait to do it again. Boat and crew is, in my opinion is the best in the fleet. Capt. Brian was kick ***!!!

I forgot my camera....Kevin you got the shot of me and Mark eating the hearts?

[k3vin_kim]

What's up osiito~! you still fishing these days?

Rebel - here they are. Look at your face expression in the second picture - priceless.
I'm pretty sure Mark had a similar expression but his glasses are covering it. Although I'm sure you guys ate some funkier sh-t in IRAQ.

Way to keep the tradition alive guys.

Jimmy and Matt too. You would have made Bob proud the way you guys were chewing on the hearts like bubble gum.

[gallogg]

K3vin,

Nice report and pics as always!
Way to go guys!

Sammy

[Gmoney]

oooohhhhh yyyyeeeeaaaahhhhh!
man, i am so happy y'all had a great time.
davide puts together the fun trips with good peeps for sure
and there is no doubt the capt works his but off to make sure everyone has fun on the orion!!
congrats to everyone....man it looks like FUN!

laters
G$

[k3vin_kim]

Sammy - yeah it was quite an epic trip. First time Tuna for a lot of people and an ultra light load. The great thing was there were no newbs.

G monie$~! whattup homeboy, it was a doozey. Can you imagine being fishing on a single drift for 6 and a half hours??? it was crazy... They'd school up in intervals of every 15-20 minutes. Just like clockwork. And i have to agree that David sure knows how to pick the boat and Captain Brian encouraged us the whole time the it would break wide open any minute... and BAM~!!!

[chris]

allright striaght madness

[one_leg]

Way to show em how it's done Coach!!!!

Oh yeah, the rest of your guys did pretty good too.


Thanks for the report k3vin.


O_L

[deanhall32]

I told you Kevin. You already have 9 posts in one hour. If I write the report I get 9 posts in 1 week!

Your report tells how it was. You must have been dog-assed tired when you got home and still found the strength within to write a report!!!

And, you had to scrub the boat after cutting fish and tossing bait all day!!!

[k3vin_kim]

total carnage. That it was.

[mrjonez]

hells yes!

[k3vin_kim]

LOL yeah, i told you that pic would be in the post. You like my invisible sardine i'm throwing?

Alan - you should have seen the coach yesterday - inspiring.

[Liteliner]

Man you guys always get on the right boat it seems. Nice fish man. Thanks for the report.

[k3vin_kim]

lateliner - Well, fishing is fishing. We don't ALWAYS pick the right trip- but we ALWAYS have fun.

[gallogg]

K3vin,

I wish I was there with you guys!
I heard that you guys had a blast!
Keep me posted on next trip!

Sammy

[k3vin_kim]

For sure Sammy - I've got the Mardiosa coming up this saturday (overnight to Clemente).

I'll keep you guy posted - Good luck on your westerly trip guys, make me proud.

[HEMAN]

dayamn. that was just sick...

I was aboard a charter the week before and didn't have such luck... i gotta charter another one on the Orion...

wonder if it was the same crew... cute blonde girl in the galley??

[k3vin_kim]

wonder if it was the same crew... cute blonde girl in the galley??

You must be referring to Ann from New Zealand...

yes she's still there - she's definately easy on the eyes w/a killer hot Aussie accent.

[Funjunkie74]

Not too shabby...




FJ74


I lost $300 in Vegas...

[DavidE]

Ohh man !! What a trip !!! Big ups Kevin for writing this report !!!!!!!!!!! Big ups to everyone who came out fishing!!! And Big ups to capt and crew of the Orion!!!!

What can I say, we had a blast. It never went WO but steady picking if you stayed on the soak. 6 1/2 hour drift???!!! Straight nuts !!!

[4g63power]

man what a trip we had! this was going to be my first offshore tuna trip and it turned out to be a super sick one. big ups to dave for putting this one together..once again. like we all said before you are the baddest charter master bro! thanks for making it happen for everyone! sorry i didn't bring my camera so no pics to add but matt took some shots and hopefully he will add some here. i can't wait to do this with you all again.

[deanhall32]

Yimmy couldn't have said it any better. Thanks David and by the way you, Yimmy, and Pineapple Express were pulling on YFT all day too man!! Matt- way too go on the YFT and dorado.

[HEMAN]

You must be referring to Ann from New Zealand...

yes she's still there - she's definately easy on the eyes w/a killer hot Aussie accent.

yup anne... she's cool.. picture doesnt do her justice.. but yeah.. killer hot accent..
they have one of the funnest crew's i've worked with... our last trip Alex (the shorter deckhand) and a couple of our people were biting the heads off the bait on dares...

[pineapple express]

howzit k3vin ~

to jump in the mix on a bloody deck to help chum bait & help out. she was easy on
the eyes too. sweet hearted soul. i had to ask her what made her choose this kind
of work ? her & her i think bf but could of been husband(deckhand) travel all over
the world working on boats making a living. they are enjoying doing it for now & love traveling & meeting new people. they've been fishing in NZ, all over europe, turkey, costa rica, & other places they'll soon be heading to depending on each locations fishing seasons.

with future success...!!! way to get your tuna/dodo cherry's POP'd. good times.

[one_leg]

You bastards~!!!, nobody told me there would be a sweet Ausie lass onboard. :Evil:

[k3vin_kim]

Hey Alan, I thought I heard someone mention that they had asked you if you wanted to come on this trip w/us?

[one_leg]

I planned on going but I didn't want to jinx the trip for the rest of you....:ROFL:


*Not to worry, I had a great time this weekend. I will join you guys on your Moo Moo trips again someday.







*Spoiled rotten Private Boater talk.


O_L

[k3vin_kim]

LOL yeah, I heard about your little "high society" trips you've been dawning lately...

Don't forget about the NBU boyz when you make it big time Alan.

[barbiegirl]

Wow what a great trip! Congrats on all your fish!

[one_leg]

Don't worry, you'll all get a paragraph in my Memoirs. :Razz:

We got a dealio, Bro?

[deanhall32]

14 hours and 38 posts- You are the legend!!

[jbetanc]

I had a great time, even when I was almost left at the dock when the Orion pulled out, Thank you David, this was a great trip, I had alot of fun, and the best part besides the fishing, was all the great people on board, no rudeness just alot of fun!!!!!, The captain and crew where great, just like you said David, thanks again, please keep me on the list, would do again!!!!!!

[supasportkid]

Thats it!! wtg

[Ambassadorhawg]

Offshore fishing is just rediculous this year!!! EVERYONE and I mean everyone is getting into the action. Some of us are into it over and over. There's so much action, it's like a broken record.

I think this year is gonna spoil lots of us cuz it ain't gonna be good like this every time. We should all look up to the Fish Gods tonight and say "thanks"....

WTG guys...it's like an El Nino year out there!

[Wingnut]

Wow, that's a great trip! Congrats to all. :Cool: :Big Grin:

[deanhall32]

Wingnut,

Why don't you go fishing with us sometime?

[LA Smoker]

Not too shabby... I on the other hand overslept for 2 3/4 day trips and just ended up playing call of duty all weekend. Hook me up with some YFT.

[mchipncharge]

To add to this thread so elegantly created by the legend, I have attached a couple of pics although pineapple express was able to sum up the report with his album. David thank you once again for your awesome trip as the charter master. Good fishing with you again Kevin and pineapple. Nice meeting you Dean and Rebel, it was a blast fishing with you guys. This will surely be a trip I'll be talking about for awhile...remember that time on the Orion when there were no boats around us....

[deanhall32]

if he was really sleeping or not...

[k3vin_kim]
