"We spent today searching the lower banks for big tuna," said the Red Rooster III's report for December 12. "We covered a lot of water today without catching any tuna. We saw a little bit of sign but couldn't get any bites. The only fish today were a couple of dorado and one wahoo on the troll. I'm including a picture of Sanny, Photo #1 from Chula Vista with his super skin he trolled up. He is downstairs right now getting measured for the coveted troll jacket.

"The second photo shown here is a shot of Robert Campbell, pictured above from Sequim, (pronounced 'Squim,') Washington, with a 120-pound yellowfin tuna from the 38 Fathom Spot on The Ridge. Robert's big fish was caught on a kite-fished squid on an Accurate ATD 50 wide reel."
