"Our morning started out great," noted the report from Intrepid January 1, "with fish hanging before daylight. Our first fish on the boat was a 241 for Nick Rekrut followed by a 208 for Joe Chinovsky. We finished off our day with three more coming on board after dark, pulling them from the sharp teeth of hungry Brown Sharks. We lost more than our fair share for a number of different reasons, but we did boat 28 fish from 140 to 241 pounds with probably 13 over 200. A final weigh-in at the dock will be the judge. Great weather, great fishing and a boat load of happy anglers."

Tom Greene posted a very interesting video about raising bluefin in pens near Croatia. The video is excellent, and the translated information is right on. The fish are fed sardines, like they are here, and the aerial footage of the pens is stupendous. The tuna are raised for sale in Japan, and the pen company has recently merged with another one in Baja. To see the video click on this link.
