I told you we would be seeing a litle more of Frank. Frank on again and thats not a bonito pulling like that I can tell you that.

Frank earned the early lead for fisherman of the day honors with his hot stick, but the boys weren't about to concede just yet and it was still early.

These were all nicer grade yellows so every hookup was a long tough battle. Everyone worked together and we were landing most of the fish we hooked

Cameron took a little while to get the productive jig pattern down but once he did he started hooking some really nice fish on the yo-yo iron.

Doug was looking to get into the fisherman of the day running as well by hooking another Catalina yellow on live bait.

Yellow at the gaff !!!

Doug with another nice Catalina yellow on the deck.

Cameron was so hot with the yellow and green Salas 6X Jr you couldn't stand within 10 feet of him unless you wanted you're nose hairs burned. I had to get the word. He said he was throwing it out as far as he could, letting it sink to the bottom then cranking fast for 40 ft or so than letting it sink and cranking fast again. Way to go Cameron !!

Captain Eddie Moreno has the El Dorado back up at Longbeach Sportfishing from San Diego because he knows fisherman around these parts of town like to fish hard year round. The way this day was shaping up and with fish like this who can blame us. Captain Moreno with the gaffing honors on Mike's nice yellow.

Frank got hammered on the yellow and green jig as well.

What else can you say ???

This was Steven's first tango with a big yellow but he didn't show it because he was battling this one like an old pro.

Nice first yellow Steven. Hope you plan on eating that heart.

Just how we like em'. Big, plump and still pumping.

The action slowed down so Captain Moreno decided to make a short move down the island. We settled down on the next spot and before long we were hanging yellows again. Nothing wide open, but at least there were some biters in the area. Larry hooked and landed this nice one on a sardine.

Glen kept the heat on Frank and Cameron when he hooked and landed another nice yellowtail. The battle between these three guys wasn't done yet ! The rest of us were resorted down to spoiler status trying to hook anything that got past these three guys.

You can see where this is going. Cameron on again despite losing his precious Salas 6X Jr to a pesky bonito and the prop.

Yeah. Glen with another one.

The rest of us continued to fish hard and Randy's hard work paid off next when he hooked a nicer one.
