"After last night's report we continued to catch more yellows in the dark," reported the Independence September 6, "as well as a few 40-pound sea bass to top off the already great day. Today was spent off shore fishing for tuna, and we had good fishing for 15 to 50-pound tuna. Most were yellowfin, and a few Dorado. The weather has been very pleasant for the entire trip. We are going to give it another go for tomorrow."
