"Today we picked away at nice yellowfin all day long," observed the report from Independence November 5. "Most of the fish were 90 to 170 pounds with two that were up around the 200-pound mark. We also had a few heartbreaks, but that just goes with the territory when you are fishing bigger tuna. The weather is nice but we did have about 10 to 14 knots of wind, with a mild sea state to go with it. Tomorrow will be the same menu trying to hook and land these bigger yellowfin tuna. The water is 82 degrees with the air temps also in the 80's, very pleasant to be out on deck fishing. Check back in a day or two to see how things are going."
