We had an incredible amount of life around the boat in the dark.  There was an amazing amount of foraging and different predators which comprises a food chain beneficial to those of us fishing for yellowfin tuna. We picked up a couple of fish throughout the night but it started biting steadier around 3 in the morning. The original bone white glow in the dark heavy pl68 was working well and we also caught a few on skipjack and the sinker sardine rig. They were a beautiful 120-190 lb class with my old pinhead from the past Tom Mato (he worked for us the summer of 1985 on the Cherokee Geisha where we kicked the poop out of the albacore and had many encounters with bigeye) catching the mornings best 222lber on a Salas jig. By the time the sun came up we ended up with a bakers dozen as we looked forward to plenty of more fishing time. Then the strangest thing happened - the rest of the day we had them around the boat visually on the machines and jumping but had no luck catching and only caught a couple of fish during the daylight hours. After dark the weather forecasts kept upgrading for the worst and we are using our best judgement learned from Steve Loomis 25 years ago............ nobody's safety is worth a fish and we left to avoid treacherous sea conditions.
