Ken's Custom Reels (Oceanside 760 967 7335) trip returned this morning and oh boy those fish floated yesterday..

On the board were the following:

200, 205, 206, 214

152.8, 155.5, 183.5, 189.5, 196

The heartbreaks we can only guess their weight but as Ken put it the best himself today -when someone hooked up there was a whole stand of fans shouting "wind faster!" and other encouragements so it was a team effort and almost didn't matter if you were hooked up or not as you were part of the action

And icing on the cake were a nice selection of school sized yellowfin and bluefin

Jackpot winner caught  by one of our very own Beloved Russians, George Nazaroff, with a 155.5#

To Ken and Wes thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you do for the American Angler

And thanks Jim Kale for introducing a lot of new faces to sportfishing.  Norio Sugawara had never caught a tuna before this trip and he had one over 200#s.  He's ruined, right!
