Blood bath on the Top Gun 80. 8-23-09
First time on the Top Gun 80 and let me tell you what a boat. Skipper Scott had us on the fish from sun up to sundown. This epic day produced everything you could want on a 1.5 day.
We slammed albies (100+).....We nailed bluefin ........Slaughtered yellowfin .......we even dabbled with a few skippys. A yellowtail was caught....... dozens of dodo's........a marlin even showed off a little tail walk for us........(yes a marlin). The boat went ape **** when the striped marlin danced for about 15 second on port side then you see the rookie who hooked it come screamin down the rail from the bow. It was awesome.
Of course the first timer hooked the marlin on his ocean trip..., caught a dodo...., and won the jp with a last minute toad albie to the tune of around 35lbs.........so what do you do when you catch your first tuna??????
Yep he ate it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fltJoebR4Bk
We had multiple guys on boat who hit grand slams, one was my buddy Gonzo (a.k.a Blinky) Who had no fish til' noon, the last one to boat a fish, and when it was all said and done and the bloodydeck of the Top Gun 80 had turned back to white, his grand total was 3 dodos, 1 Yellow Fin Tuna, 1 Blue Fin Tuna, and an albie. The blinkster hit for the cycle.
His buddy Brian had 9 fish total with a back to back to back albies in a matter of about 10 mins right at dusk.
My father also had a total of 9 fish and his long time fishin pal Mike C had the hot stick with a hookup at every jig stop. Seriously every stop. he must of handed off 10 fish after his limit.
The best 1.5 dayer of all times.........
Oh btw the fish hit every bait that hit the water, unless you were using smoke purple line by Yo-zuri...... nothing would touch it.... my first and last time using it. Im talking WIDE open and...... zilch with that line. Need to find a line that i can trust.
