We have a couple of story lines we would like to share with all our readers out there from the Intrepid. First being the amount of New Long Rangers we have had the opportunity to help teach and share the experience of Giant Tuna fishing in the last couple of months. It started back in December when we began to see 5 or 6 newbies or first timers on a long trip and that trend has continued right through to this trip which had another handful of first timers. It is a Great thing to see more and more people coming out from all over the U.S to experience this unique fishery. We have seen many new personal best in these last couple of months. This trip had an individual and now friend Patrick Wichert who had never been on a long range trip and started out on day one landing a new personal best Tuna @ 130 lbs. The second day he bested that fish with a 160 lber and on day four he topped that one with a 187 class Yellow fin. Patrick also caught his first ever Wahoo's on this trip, but still was hard at it all the way till the very end when he topped his personal best for the FORTH time in one trip landing a 202 lb. Tuna!! How's that for a first timer! Point is, if you think you are just not ready for a long trip or pulling on Giants, think again, because this crew will help you learn at an incredible rate and you will land that fish of your dreams, you just have to get out here and give it a try.
