That in itself is a special moment out here on the high seas. The Pod or Family of 5 had a large male, female, two younger whales and a very small newborn. They showed their family bond when we drove up on them and they got split up with one of the younger ones. The Pod then surfaced again and waited until the last member got back with them, then all 5 of them surfaced together a couple of times as they headed away! It was a great feeling as we all watched the majestic creatures swim away in true family style.

"Our day started out right away with Yellowfin Tuna biting in the grey and they didn't slow down until we had our daily limits. Throw in some nice Bull Dorado, a couple handfuls of Yellows and it was a fun morning. In the afternoon while we were hunting offshore, crewman Dave Taylor spotted a floating object out in the distance. When he got us close the sonar lit up and the ocean turned blue. The Dorado bite that we had this evening to finish off our day is something this group will remember for a long time as many had never seen this type of reckless, charging Dorado. The next day the report said, "We made the attempt at making bait in the dark hours last night, but the bait didn't bite well for us in the bright full moonlight. This morning we began our search for Yellowtail and found that it was not in the area were it had been in previous days, so we continued searching throughout the day and found our school in the afternoon. They were biting and by sunset everyone had all the Yellows they wanted with most showered and enjoying a fine cigar with a cocktail as the sun went down. The Salas 6X Jr. Scrambled egg was the hot ticket, the yellows were eating the jig on the sink!! Make sure you have some 6XJr.s in your box for the upcoming trips. Tomorrow we will be working up into the offshore waters looking for bigger grade Yellow fin or Bluefin Tuna."
