"We had a weather change last night," said the report from American Angler January 14, "and our good conditions turned for the worse. We had rain squalls on the radar at night and once we got into it, we experienced the wind that is usually associated with them. We had downpour rain and 20-25 knots of breeze which made bait-making very interesting. After bait making the wind did not subside, so we thought that a day spent on the anchor would be more conducive to the capture of cows than one looking offshore.

"Upon arriving at our destination, we saw decent sign of tuna on the meter. After we got the anchor down, they got on us halfway decently, but there was no current. In a nutshell, no current means no fish. All day we had them under the boat and occasionally showing themselves with a half-hearted boil. It was frustrating that we didn't get many bites and that we only landed three fish.

"The groups that we carry are the best. The days of "how many" have been given up to the pursuit of their personal best. As captain, it is appreciated the understanding that they have while trying to achieve this goal.Today's fish of the day was landed by Chris Rydgren and it topped out at 235. He was completely stoked that his hard work paid off and he would have the opportunity to tell his girlfriend Angie how much he loved her in print."
