It's amazing how karma comes into play with the fishing gig time after time. Joe Hajduk has been looking for his first cow for a couple of years. This morning he was fishing for bait and every time he caught a small tuna or skipjack there always seemed to be someone in need of one and he would generously give it up. After most people were in the water he caught one and pinned it on his own rig and was rewarded with his very first fish over two that weighed 215lbs.

The other success story of the morning was Hurricane Bill Goodwin who had experienced a little tough luck so far for this trip but kept a good attitude. He was fishing with a small tuna when he got freight trained and spooled. The backup rig was deployed and he was rewarded with his second three of his career that ended up weighing 303.5. We caught a few more 175's and some stockers this morning as we were busy.

There is two sides to every story as we also had three spectra failures and a ginormous fish out on backup that was lost to the bottom.
