Was asked if I wanted to take a tuna trip to the Canyon waters off our coast (85-130 miles) A quick yes and I was in…
It’s been a few years since I have been able to get out.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of Mammal and sea life that can be found.
Our trip started at O’dark thirty and we were 50 miles off before the sun even started to show…
The first spot we got to didn’t have the stuff we were looking for (whales, dolphins and birds) so off to the East we go, as we located a pod of whales (5) and a huge pod of dolphins (50+) along with lots of “Tuna Chicks” we set out our trolling spread…
It didn’t take long and we had fish on, we kept our 1 (one) over (it was 60”) and one under along with plenty of tuna released to fight another day….
Wasn’t long and our arms were tired from fighting fish we decided to clean up and take the long ride back to dock.
Thank God for his beautiful creations and the chance to experience his work, lots of delicious tuna to enjoy.

The dolphins swim right in our spread and along side the boat (they are way too smart to ever get caught,not that we want to catch any) The tuna come busting up between the dolphins and whales and attack our lures...

Eddie, sweet man!!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Got to love a bloody boat...


Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

good day great trip people look at me cross-eyed when I tell them it is a wilderness out there..I have likely been on the ocean fishing 30 to 80 miles out over 100 times...to me once you can't see land it is an adventure all its own and becomes stress relieving and addictive..for some it is poison..I love it..great pics R.B.

So true marathonman it's just another world out there, I have seen manta-rays come torpedoing out of the water that were 15' across giant sea turtles and just incredible sunrises and sunsets... Those that have it on their bucket list it truly is an amazing experience!

We were headed out for an overnight las night. Woulda been my first in a center console. Done dozens in a sport fish. 2019 fountain 34cc. Engine had less than 35 hours on it... I was running it out for the owner and BAM 6 miles off blew a power head.

Expensive day. Hopefully the warranty covers it.

Tough to get video and run the boat and gaff and get the fish on board, but here is a video from this trip... Check out the dolphins, whale and Hammer fighting one of the tunas. These are strong fighting fish if you never hooked into one...
