"We had some night time yellowtail action last night," said the report from Independence June 20, "and then as soon as the sun came up we were pretty much busy all day long pulling on these 20 to 40 lb. yellows. The guys who were plugging with the Salas 7xs had a really good time today.

"The standouts for the day are as follows, Jim Sweeting caught a yellowtail that might go 55 lbs., and John Enns caught a yellowfin tuna around 85 lbs. on a 7x. The weather has got a little bit better for us. We are all fixed up on yellowtail, so we are gaining altitude, heading up right now."
