HEADED OUT OF REMLEY’S AT 4AM. HEADED DIRECTLY TOWARD COMANCHE AND PUSHED OUT UNTIL WE WERE 5 MILES FROM NORTH LEDGE. THE RIDE OUT OF THE HARBOR WAS PITCH BLACK. COULD NOT SEE 10 FT IN FRONT OF THE BOAT. MADE FOR AN INTERESTING RIDE. SEAS WERE GREAT. 28MPH WHOLE WAY OUT. GOT BAIT IN THE WATER AND KNOCK DOWN RIGHT AWAY AT 6:30AM. PUSHED OUT TO ABOUT 300FT WITH A FEW BITES. HAD A 10FT TIGER SHARK COME INTO THE SPREAD AND DECIDE TO PASS ON THE BAIT…THANKFULLY, AS I DID NOT FEEL LIKE DEALING WITH HIM. SLOW BIGHT ALL MORNING. HAD A SAILFISH COME INTO THE SPREAD. COULD NOT GET HIM HOOKED. TOOK A MAHI HERE AND THERE. WORKED BACK TOWARD THE LEDGE AND HAD MY FIRST MATE CHUM THE WATERS (BLAMES IT ON THE BEER START AT 4AM). STARTED TROLLING BACK INTO SHALLOWER WATERS AND GOT A CUDA BITE…LET MY FIRST MATE TAKE ANOTHER SHOT WITH THE NEXT KNOCK DOWN WICH WAS A SLINGER MAHI…LITTLE BETTER. THIS PUT ME NEXT UP AT THE RODS…ALL THE SUDDEN BZZZZZZZZZZZZ SENATOR STARTED SPITTING OUT LINE. I GRABBED THE ROD. COULD TELL IT HAD SOME SIZE TO IT. TIGHTENED DRAG AND PUT ON FIGHTING BELT. STILL TAKING LINE…FIGURED WE MUST HAVE A GOOD WHO ON. FOUGHT HIM FOR 15 MIN UNTIL I FINALLY GOT HIM UP(HAPPY I DID DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON THE BICEPT WORKOUT FRIDAY). SURE ENOUGH, NICE SIZE WAHOO. HE THEN DECIDED TO CIRCLE THE BOAT A FEW TIMES WICH MADE FOR A LITTLE CIRCUS OF MY FIRST MATE BRIAN AND FUTURE BROTHER IN LAW NATHAN MOVING RODS/REALS. BRIAN MADE A CLEAN GAFF…FISH IN BOAT…HIGH FIVES FOR EVERYONE. 45LB WAHOO=GOOD EATING! MISSED A FEW MAHI BITES. DECIDED TO PICK UP AND GO IN A LITTLE MORE TOWARD COMANCHE. DROPPED LINES AND PICKED UP ONE MORE MAHI. 2 OCLOCK, PICKED UP FOR THE RIDE IN. LAST 15 MILES WERE A LITTLE SPORTY. LAST 5 MILES=WASHING MACHINE WITH PLENTY OF SALT IN THE FACE FOR EVERYONE. GREAT DAY WITH THREE FRIENDS AND THE OCEAN
