hello everyone from the independence. We started off the trip yesterday and saw a little bit of sign in the afternoon that had potential. We landed a couple of 170 - 175's and a few handful's of 80 to 140 lb. fish topped off by a 235 lb. caught by Tom Phillips right before dark. This morning was a different story as things were in high gear early on in the game.. By 0700 we caught 20 or so tuna most being 80 to 175 lbs. and 2 fish Cathy Needleman's 225 lb. beauty and Clarence Becker's 240 lb. were the standouts. We did have a fair shot at these bigguns as we hosed 4 or 5 big fish, but that's fishing. That's all to report so far, we will update later tonight. Sea ya then Jeff
